As Halloween approaches, our Business Park is holding a Halloween Fancy Dress Party on Friday 30th October. It goes without saying the Shipshape Team will be there in fancy dress & enjoying the festivities. Pictures will be posted next week, so watch this space.
Are there areas of your premises that need attention this time of year?
As well as providing your office cleaning to a very high standard, we can also provide other services as part of your office cleaning contract. Let us organise these services for you and draw up a schedule with you. We will then invoice for all the works carried out by us on one invoice. You will have one point of contact and be emailed when services are due with date and timings.
Some of the services relevant this time of year are:
Ground Maintenance
Now is the time of year to prune back those shrubs, tidy up the leaves and plant those spring bulbs.
Carpet Cleaning
Keep dirt and stains at bay by having a carpet cleaning schedule in place to spot clean and clean your carpets on a regular basis. Important this time of year, with bad weather outside.
Windows, Fascias, Soffits and Gutter Cleaning
Keep your company windows always looking sparkling with a regular cleaning schedule. We can also clean hard to reach fascias and soffits and guttering that has been blocked with leaves. We can hire high access equipment and use our experienced and insured window cleaners to clean high points on your building.
Dust Control Mats
Keep the outside out with dust control mats and ensure that your entrances are less dirty and carpets remain cleaners for longer. These can be plain or made with your company logo on.
We are happy to incorporate these services into a site cleaning schedule. Contact us today for a site review.
At Shipshape we can cater for all your cleaning needs, helping to improve your working environment. As well as office cleaning, we can arrange cleaning in other areas, our range of services include:
Deep Cleans to areas that have heavy use or get dirty, including factory areas, mess rooms, warehouses, showers, washrooms etc.
Jet Washing external features such as bridges, walkways, patio areas and decking. These areas can also become slippery this time of year, check out the anti-slip section of our website:

Window, Fascia & Sofits and Gutter Cleaning is a service that we can offer either as a one-off blitz clean of these areas or windows can be scheduled in on a regular basis, with the Fascias, Soffits and Guttering less often.
Floor Sealing improves the longevity of a hard floor surface and makes it easier to clean and the cleaning is more effective. We can provide this service to new or old floors. Where slip issues occur on a hard floor, we can seal with specialist ant-slip floor treatments which comply with HSE guidelines. See link above.
PC Cleaning is a service we can provide to ensure keyboards and PC’s are cleaned and germ free. It is good practice to have equipment regularly cleaned to prolong the life of it and for hygiene reasons. This service can be carried out after hours for minimal disruption to the business.
Carpet Cleaning can be done out of hours or at weekends, this can range from a full clean of carpets throughout the building or just particular carpets in high traffic areas.
Blind Cleaning can make a huge difference to the ‘look’ of windows, especially this time of year when dust has built up on them over the summer with windows being open and now this time of year with spiderwebs.
It is a good idea to incorporate these services into the overall cleaning schedule so regular visits will keep all areas, not just the cleaners areas, in top condition.
At Shipshape, clients can have our cleaning services and can pick from the above ad-hoc or regular specialist cleaning services as and when they are needed. This is conveniently managed by us all under one roof, with one invoice going out to the client.
If that appeals to your business, contact us for a site review.
Cuts is a bit of a buzz word these days in the press with the labour government making cuts, cuts, cuts….
Cleaning is obviously an essential part of the facilities management in a building and when managed properly provides an essential service in the workplace. Cleaning is essential to:
