Warehouses and industrial sites need floor and amenity cleaning, pressure washing, grounds and car park care, maintenance and compliance testing, all planned around operations, forklift traffic and site safety rules. Safe work procedures and inductions matter as much as the service itself.
Typical services
- Floor sweeping and scrubbing, and dust control.
- Amenities, lunchrooms and offices.
- Pressure washing of hardstand, docks and external areas.
- Grounds, car parks and drainage.
- Planned maintenance and essential services testing.
- Minor works and repairs.
Safety first
Industrial sites involve vehicles, machinery and hazardous areas. Providers should supply safe work method statements, hold the right insurance and follow site inductions.
Planning around operations
Cleaning and maintenance should be timed to avoid peak movement of goods, with exclusion zones and clear communication with site supervisors.
Environment
Wash water, chemicals and waste need to be handled so they do not enter stormwater. Ask how the provider controls this.
Frequently asked questions
Can you clean while the warehouse is operating?
Often, with proper exclusion zones and planning. It depends on the site and the tasks.
Do you provide your own equipment?
Discuss equipment, such as scrubbers and pressure washers, during scoping so it is covered in the price.
