UK commercial cleaning, audited honestly

You signed the contract. Then it stopped working. You were set up.

The UK commercial cleaning industry runs on opacity. Every operator's website says the same five words. Every quote is unbenchmarkable. Every renewal arrives with a polite request for a 7% increase you cannot justify or refuse.

The 4-minute scorecard tells you where your current contract sits against 47 audited UK commercial cleaning contracts, what tier of operator you are working with, and what a fair monthly fee looks like for your premises type and headcount.

No call. No salesperson. The result lands instantly.

Free. Anonymous to operators until you say otherwise. Result email arrives the moment you finish.

Two doors, one site

Are you a buyer or an operator?

Clean Contracts UK does two jobs. We help buyers check the contract they already have, and we help vetted cleaning operators get warm introductions. Pick the door that fits you.

For buyers

I pay for cleaning at my offices, sites or buildings

You manage facilities, run a property portfolio, or sign off the cleaning bill. You want to know if your current contract is fair, and you want a vetted backup if it is not.

  • Free 14 question scorecard, three minutes
  • Written audit report by email
  • One warm operator introduction if you ask for one
  • No sales call, ever

For operators

I run a UK commercial cleaning company

You run an operator that delivers commercial cleaning. You want real introductions from buyers who have already done their homework, with no lock-in and no contract take.

  • Free operator scorecard to apply for the panel
  • First three introductions free
  • £150 per qualified introduction after that
  • 30 day rolling terms, you own the contract

What we believe

Five things, on the record

  1. 01

    Commercial cleaning is the most undervalued line item in UK facilities management, which is exactly why it keeps failing.

  2. 02

    The pricing is opaque on purpose. The opacity benefits operators, not buyers.

  3. 03

    The buyer is never the problem. The procurement process is rigged from the start.

  4. 04

    A great operator earns their fee in two months. A bad one costs you eleven.

  5. 05

    There is no honest comparison tool in the UK market. So we built one.

What the scorecard reveals

15 questions. One page of answers.

15 questions, each calibrated against the 47-contract benchmark. At the end, you will know on a single page:

  • Which of the 4 tiers your current contract sits in
  • Where you are paying above market, and by how much
  • Where you are paying below market, and what risks that creates
  • Whether your operator’s communication pattern matches the top quartile or the bottom 40%
  • The fair-fee range for your premises type, headcount and renewal date

What we offer buyers

Three ways we can help you

Layered contract pages on an editorial desk surface representing the Clean Contracts UK contract scorecard service.

Contract Scorecard

A free 14 question check that scores your contract on terms, pricing, service, communication and compliance. You get a tier on screen and a written report by email. No sales call.

Two architectural forms aligning, representing the Clean Contracts UK service of matching UK commercial cleaning buyers with vetted operators.

Operator Matching

If your score shows you should switch, you can opt in at the last question. We pick one vetted operator from our panel and introduce you by email within 24 hours. Then we step out.

Ongoing Monitoring

We check in at day 14 and day 30 after the introduction. 90 days before your renewal date, we offer a fresh check, whether or not the first introduction worked out.

What we find

Four tiers. Four very different outcomes.

Across the 137 contracts we have checked, results land in four tiers. The tier is not a judgement on the buyer. It reflects the contract, the price, and the service rules as they stand today. The examples below are made up from typical client patterns. No real person or company is named.

Balanced sculptural arrangement of stone planes representing a Tier 1 commercial cleaning contract that is working as intended.
Tier 1 (75 to 100 per cent)

Your contract is working for you

A West Midlands warehouse business scored 82 per cent. Their contract had clear targets, a working escalation route and pricing within 4 per cent of the market. We told them to re-check at 90 days before renewal. No introduction needed.

Sculptural composition with one element offset, representing a Tier 2 commercial cleaning contract with minor issues to address.
Tier 2 (50 to 74 per cent)

Room to improve

A 400-person London office scored 61 per cent. Pricing was fair, but the contract had no service level agreement and no way to deal with repeat issues. They tightened the contract and stayed with their current cleaner.

Sculptural composition slipping out of line, representing a Tier 3 commercial cleaning contract with significant drift from market standards.
Tier 3 (25 to 49 per cent)

Your contract is costing you money

A Manchester workspace provider scored 41 per cent. We found about £3,780 of yearly drift, an old flat-rate price set in 2021, no TUPE clause and no cleaning schedule. They opted in and we matched them with a local operator the next day.

Disrupted sculptural composition representing a Tier 4 commercial cleaning contract that requires urgent review.
Tier 4 (0 to 24 per cent)

Your contract is working against you

An Edinburgh retail group with three sites scored 18 per cent. Seven of nine red flags showed up: no written contract on one site, prices 34 per cent above market, no insurance check and no complaint route. They swapped operators across all sites within 60 days.

These are made-up examples drawn from typical client patterns. No real individual or company is identified.

How it works for buyers

Four steps from uncertainty to clarity

01

Take the scorecard

14 questions. About three minutes. No account, no sales call. Answer honestly and the score is accurate.

02

See your tier

Your tier shows on screen straight away. Within a few hours, your written report arrives by email. It lists the red flags found and the yearly cost where it matters.

03

Choose your next step

The last question asks if you want us to find you a vetted cleaner. You do not have to say yes. If you say no, we just send the report. No follow-up sales calls.

04

Warm intro or quiet wait

If you opted in, we pick one vetted cleaner and introduce you by email within 24 hours. If you opted out, we send the report and check back 90 days before your renewal. We never share your details without your say-so.

For UK commercial cleaning operators

Get warm introductions, with no lock-in

We work with a small, hand-picked panel of UK cleaning operators. When a buyer finishes our scorecard and asks for an introduction, we match them to one operator on region, sector, building size and how soon they need to act. The match goes by email. We introduce and step out.

Joining is free. You get three introductions at no cost while we prove the match works for you. From the fourth, you pay £150 per qualified introduction. 30 day rolling terms, no lock-in. You own the contract from the moment of introduction.

How it works for operators

What the panel gives you

Real introductions only

Every buyer has done our scorecard, confirmed they have a real cleaning need, and asked for an introduction. No cold leads from random sources.

You own the contract

Our job ends at the introduction. We do not stay involved, we do not sit in on renewals, and we do not take a cut of the contract. You sign directly with the buyer.

Clear pricing

Your first three introductions are free. After that, prices are fixed and shown up front. No hidden fees.
