Its that time of year where amongst the chaos of Christmas, it’s a good time to look at your shredding and old electrical office equipment.
We can offer our clients both these additional services.
Confidential Waste Management
Our management and control of collection, transporation and destruction of confidential material conforms to BS15713. All documents are destroyed by means of cross-cut shredding, so that the resulting material is unreadable, illegiable and unreconstructable. A certificate of destruction is issued for each consignment.
Key Points:
- secure consoles located throughout offices
- scheduled collections, either weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- All sacks and seals provided free of charge
- All waste shredded within 24 hours of arriving at our shredding plant
- Certificate of Destruction is issued once shredding completed
- 100% of shredded waste recycled
- Low fixed weekly cost
WEE Recycling
We offer all our clients the removal of all old electrical items free of charge, twice a year.
This is a service we provide as an additional service to help our clients keep their offices tidy and free of all electrical items that they no longer require.
The benefits are:
- We schedule the collections with our WEE Recycling Partner at a convenient time for our clients
- Items are taken away from the client’s premises, with no hassle
- A signed Recycling Certificate is issued to our client
- These items are recycled and do not end up in landfill
- This service costs the client nothing, except for the disposal of CRT monitors that require specialized disposal
If your current cleaning contractor does not offer you any additional services, contact us on 01494 468989 to find out more…

Any form of change can be daunting and it is all too easy to be complacent and adopt the attitude ‘Better the Devil you know’
But that Devil could cost you money and you could be receiving a better service and greater value for money.
- Why put up with bad service? You can make the choice to change.
- Why do you feel you are managing your cleaning contract, when you pay for that service?
- Feel fed up with coming in each morning and despairing at the standards?
If you were not receiving good service or value for money concerning your personal affairs – would you put up with it? I suspect not. You would want the best.
Clients sometimes worry about the change over of cleaning companies, but once you make that leap of faith, you WILL get a good service, Shipshape Cleaning are committed to this.
We guarantee a smooth transition in your cleaning services, and we have many satisfied clients whom we have worked with from the start and vastly improved their cleaning service.
Clients have said:
“Shipshape dealt very professionally and swiftly with the challenges we had with unproductive personnel, with out any involvement from me. It was reassuring to see both the Contracts Manager and Site Supervisor on site every evening until these challenges were resolved.”
“From day one of the contract I felt I could rely on Shipshape Cleaning to resolve any issues and oversee the new team settling in.”
“I’d like to compliment the management team on the seamless transition at the beginning of the contract, and staff have noticed the increased levels of service and cleanliness.
“The staff are well trained and receive good supervision, the agreed specification is adhered to and other requests I make are carried out in a timely manner.”
The comments above are just a few made by our customers. Take a look at the full testimonials on page http://shipshapecleaning.co.uk/about/testimonials/. When we tender for cleaning contracts, we can always provide up to date and relevant references.
Use our Free Audit Form: http://shipshapecleaning.co.uk/free-cleaning-audit-form/. This is a very useful exercise to carry out to ascertain what kind of service you are receiving and are you getting value for money.
Take a look at our full company brochure: http://shipshapecleaning.co.uk/download-brochure/. We can provide a basic cleaning service or whatever other services your organisation may require.
Our aim is to provide the highest standard within the cleaning industry that consistently exceeds expectations. Whatever your cleaning requirements are, be it a small office or a big organisation, our high standards will remain the same. We always deliver the best.
Take that Devil by the horns, call us today on 01494 468989.
Let us show you what we can do.

Before the Winter really sets in – have you thought about the appearance of your offices from the outside, and even more importantly how your visitors will see them. First impressions are very important and very strongly influence your expectations of what kind of service you may receive from the inside.
Therefore if your offices or building have the air of neglect, it does not give a positive impression.
There are a number of ways Shipshape Cleaning can enhance the appearance of the exterior of your building.
We can offer the highest standards in window cleaning technology. We operate the Reach and Wash System which is, Health and Safety approved. We are specialists in high rise and difficult to access cleaning.
If you would like the stonework, surrounding paths, steps and other walkway areas professionally cleaned, we can provide this service too. We can include signs and name plates if required. Make your building look inviting.
If your offices are situated in grounds and you have to maintain gardens, parking and communal areas, especially at this time of year when leaves and debris can make the outside look very untidy, this is a service we can also provide.
If you have any special requests or require a one off service, we can assist you with these also.
Please visit our website at www.shipshapecleaning.co.uk to find out what other services we can offer your organisation.
If we can assist you with the above services or you have any questions or queries regarding our company and the services we can provide, please contact us at sales@shipshapecleaning.co.uk or call us on 01494 468989.

Carpet Cleaning is sometimes considered more of an extravagance than a necessity, but a carpet not only affects the appearance of your offices, but can instigate or add further symptoms to certain health problems.
A recent study by an international Institute researching into Occupational Health found there is a direct link between damp in carpets and occurrences of Asthma when people are regularly exposed to this environment. Volatile organisms compounds and other growths can flourish in an unclean damp carpet and affect Asthma suffers quite significantly.
Unclean carpets are also a haven for dust mites. Up to 100,000 mites can inhabit one square yard of carpet, which feeds off human cells and fungi that can build up in an unclean carpet. The most common symptoms are itchy noses and/or eyes or sometimes a rash can occur.
Our Carpet Cleaners are members of the National Carpet Cleaning Association and offer a comprehensive portfolio of restoration and cleaning services. Let us restore your carpet to a level of cleaniness that will prolong the life of your carpet and make your working enviroment a clean and healthy place to be.
