Limitations & Specialist Requests

To keep our service safe and consistent:

• Exterior high‑level window cleaning, guttering, and façade work require specialist equipment and may be referred to partners.
• Hazardous waste, biohazards, pest infestations, and heavy builder’s debris are not included within standard visits.
• Machine floor care, car park jet washing, and post‑build sparkle cleans can be arranged under a separate quote.
• Access‑controlled plant rooms, meter rooms, and roof areas are cleaned only with written authorisation and safe access.
• Large stain removal, odour remediation, and mould treatment may need a specialist plan.

If your site has unique requirements, we’ll assess and provide a bespoke scope, or coordinate with trusted partners where appropriate.

Local Service In Caterham Valley

We regularly support property managers, RTMs, landlords, and block agents across Caterham Valley. Typical considerations we plan for include:

• Stairs and stairwells: Many blocks in Caterham Valley feature narrow staircases; we use compact, quiet equipment and schedule to minimise disruption.

If your site spans multiple entrances or has annexes, we can coordinate multi‑team attendance to cover all communal spaces in Caterham Valley efficiently.
