Although gritting the roads, paths and carparks is absolutely essential this time of year, the grit and salt in it can cause havoc with carpets and floor inside our offices.
We would recommend a carpet clean to either all the walkways in your building or a full carpet clean of all carpets before spring is upon us! We can then set up a regular programme of carpet cleaning so we manage your carpets for you and they are periodically cleaned at weekends to suit you.
So, when the snowy and icy weather has disappeared, why not contact us and book in your company carpets, or a deep clean of your hard floors to bring them back to a sparkling clean finish. We will remove all the salt, marks, water staining and residue left by this bad weather.
Contact us today for a quotation: 01494 468989 or email info@shipshapecleaning.co.uk

We would like to wish you all a Happy & Prosperous New Year! It’s a very exciting time starting a New Year.
The New Year is always a good time to review and in some cases change contracts. With company spending scrutinised and budgets being cut for services, now is the time to ensure you are getting value for money from your cleaning contract provider and the service you expect!
If you do need to review your cleaning contract, the first place you should start is an independent audit of your cleaning one morning, this can be done in conjuction with the existing service schedule, which should form part of your cleaning contract, and our Audit Form.
Our audit form can be found on our website at www.shipshapecleaning.co.uk/free-cleaning-audit-form
Once you have reviewed your cleaning, give us a call and we will happily meet with you to discuss your requirements and how Shipshape Cleaning can exceed your expectations.

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

Did you know your workplace will benefit from having plants!
Not only do plants help clean the air in an office space, especially in these times when offices have no opening windows or even any windows at all. Recent studies by Texas A&M University have shown that the presence of plants increases productivity and reduces stress. One of the quickest ways to achieve a happier, healthier and more productive work environment is to add nature in the form of plants.
Apart from the health benefits, plants can really enhance the look of your offices and reception area, especially in today’s modern offices. New buildings although extremely modern and clean looking, can look cold and austere, especially to a visitor or a newcomer. Plants can soften the office environment and make it a more colourful and inviting place.
Invite nature into your offices and let Shipshape help you to create the ambiance with our unique range of displays to fit all requirements and budgets.
Call us today for your free Quotation.

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.
