The benefits of using a local contract cleaning company to clean offices and commercial premises

Why our decision to focus on a 50 mile geographical radius allows us to deliver outstanding local service

As a local company, choosing to focus on a 50-mile geographic area that includes Harrogate, Leeds and York, we are huge advocates of the benefits of using a local specialist B2B cleaning company for commercial office and contract cleaning.


Why is it better to use a local commercial cleaning service rather than a big-name national firm?


Here are 5 reasons, based on our experience of working with clients and understanding the difference we can make.


Meeting your supplier face-to-face creates trust


As a local business-to-business cleaning company we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our commercial clients. Our Managing Director visits each potential customer personally for a detailed site visit at the start of each relationship and keeps in touch throughout the contract term.


It’s Clean offers businesses in North and West Yorkshire an extremely high standard of service and attention to detail that isn’t available from large nationwide providers.


Responding quickly when needed


The fact that we are based locally and have local staff working for us means we offer unmatched responsiveness. If urgent or unexpected issues arise, such as a major incident or large local event, we can be on site quickly and make any necessary contingency arrangements should they be needed.


As a local contract cleaner we are easily accessible and can make ourselves available should you need extra advice or support. We know the local landscape, routes, challenges and priorities. Our local knowledge gives us a huge advantage as a supplier and generates trust and accountability. 


Well managed staff teams


As a local firm we rely on the loyalty and diligence of our staff, who live and work in the areas where we operate. We are extremely fortunate to have a low turnover of staff and we have team members who have been with us for many years.


Our people are extremely important to us. We like to take good care of them. We do not use zero hours contracts and offer some of the best terms and conditions in the commercial cleaning industry. We invest in our people through training and by creating a supportive environment and positive work culture. Our teams are managed by highly professional managers in the field.


Part of the community


As a local contract cleaning firm, everyone in the It’s Clean Ltd team is invested in the communities we serve. We want to deliver excellent service to support our local businesses and contribute to their success. Keeping offices, workplaces and community buildings in good order and professionally cleaned helps everyone feel better and work better. As a team, we are proud to serve the businesses in our community, many of which we interact with as individuals on a regular basis.


Better standards and better value


Local cleaners get to know the businesses they work for and have greater flexibility than many larger firms when it comes to tailoring their service to meet the particular contract cleaning needs of a business.


You might think that a big firm would be more cost-effective but this is usually a misconception. Local firms often deliver higher service levels than national companies, without a premium price tag.


At It’s Clean we pride ourselves on offering outstanding service and excellent value for money, making us the obvious choice for companies that want to keep overheads low without compromising on service and quality.
