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.”

Does the Outside of your Offices give the Right Impression?

Monday, October 10th, 2011

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.

Window Cleaning for a Clear Outlook

Monday, March 21st, 2011

If you have a good view out your office window, why obstruct it?

Window cleaning is a service that is often forgotten in a cleaning schedule and is an important part of keeping your office looking clean, especially this time of year when the sun is flooding in.

These day’s with environmental and industrial conditions being as complex as they are, windows are becoming dirtier, faster.

It is essential that windows are cleaned regularly, but most definately a good yearly clean.  The recommendation would be with most commercial properties is that a window cleaning scheule is put in place for a quarterly clean.  However, properties that are on main roads or in a high traffic or industrial area, a monthly clean would be the recommendation.

anyone can wash a window with soap and water and that will most definately get the job done, but on a professional level, it is more that just washing the glass, as window frames, ledges and surrounding areas will be cleaned in the process.

After it rains, minerals can attach to the glass, including limestone, brick dust or cement.  This can cause staining of the glass over a period of time if not cleaned off.  Spinkler systems near to a building can also make the glass stain if the glass is not cleaned regularly as this water will not be pure, but will contain calcium, salt or other minerals in the mains water supply.

Also, with the introduction of Reach & Wash purified water systems, that our window cleaner contractors use, the water is so pure that it absorbs the dirt, the brush is used to agitate the dirt and then is rinsed with oure water.  The glass is left perfectly clean, since there is nothing in the water to make spots on the glass.

Is the Sun Shining on your Dirty Windows?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Spring is now here it seems and as a result the sun is flooding through those dirty windows…..

Not only does it show up all the dirt that has accummilated over the winter but also the cobwebs that may not have been dusted down by the cleaners.

We can help you with this problem in two ways:

As part of a cleaning contract we would look at your window cleaning and schedule in regular visits to do internal/external glass, we can do annual cleans of hard to reach areas with high access equipment and also ad-hoc cleans of fascias, soffits and guttering.

With on-site cleaning contracts, we supply our teams with extendable and long handled dusters to get to those hard to reach areas and banish those horrible cobwebs that linger in corners.  On our cleaning schedule as part of the contract documentation we ensure all areas of the office are dusted, even the hard to reach areas such as attriums, landings, stairwells so they don’t look dirty when the sun shines…..   

Don’t let your building let you down this spring….call us today.
