Cleaning is Essential, Not an Added Expense

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

There is probably not many companies that are not financially hit by the current economic downturn. Budgets are reviewed and service providers scrutinised for the service they provide and the cost at which they provide it.

One such service is cleaning. As an ‘invisible’ service to our clients, our work is mainly done in the evening, or sometimes early morning, when staff are not in the office. We provide a seamless service which is out of hours and managed in the evening and during the day by our experienced management team.

During these ‘cost cutting’ times, cleaning is not an ‘added expense’ that can be cut in order to reduce costs, but an essential service to ensure your work environment is clean and healthy.

If the workstations and equipment is kept clean and sanitised, the washrooms and kitchens are mopped and cleaned with the proper cleaning products, it is a scientific fact that staff are ill less often. This is a huge saving to the company as sick days cost employers millions each year.

So, don’t scrimp or cut down your cleaning services, as this will impact on your staff and their wellbeing.

Grit & Salt Gets Everywhere!!!

Monday, February 6th, 2012

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.

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.
