Employing the Right People for your Cleaning Contract

Monday, November 21st, 2011

At Shipshape Cleaning we are very aware that our Cleaning Staff  are Company Ambassadors and our reputation is dependent upon their performance.

We adopt a very thorough recruitment procedure. Any potential employee has to complete the following steps:-

Complete our full application form at the interview
Provide 2 work related references
Provide original proof of their national insurance number
Provide original proof of ID
Provide proof of their eligability to work in the UK

We take our responsibilities very seriously and check that all employees are able to work legitimately in the UK before employment and during our employment.

We have this procedure in place to follow employment law on employing staff and to keep your cleaning contract safe.

Upon the commencement of their employment with Shipshape, all cleaning staff are given a full  inducation specific to the site at which they are allocated to.  This includes a ‘practical cleaning workshop’, COSHH and Health and Safety Training.

We also use ‘best practice’ procedures of colour coding cloths, mops and equipment to ensure no cross contamination occurs.  This is a standard procedure that all cleaners must adopt from the start.

We have the highest cleaning standards within the industry.  All of our Staff  are monitored on a regular basis on site to ensure that they are consistently delivering a high standard of cleaning. We also carry out Quality Review Logs on all sites.  That way you get to see firsthand the results of inspection by our Management Team.  The reports are available for inspection by yourself, when we hold regular review meetings with you.

Every site has its own dedicated team to work solely on your contract.  They will know and understand the specific requirements and cleaning schedule.  Holidays are covered by fully trained staff who once again will know your contract.

We reward good work and loyalty with incentive reward schemes.  We believe if we take care of our cleaning staff, they will take care of you.

Contact us today at sales@shipshapecleaning.co.uk  Let us provide you with the Shipshape Cleaning experience, a decision you will not regret.

Why put up with a Bad Cleaning Service?

Monday, November 7th, 2011

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.
