Keep Your School Sparkling Clean with Our Professional Cleaning Services

We provide professional cleaning services to schools, colleges and academies across Greater Manchester, keeping learning environments clean, hygienic and safe throughout the school year. From daily classroom and washroom cleaning to deep cleans during the holidays, we shape a cleaning programme around the way your setting actually runs, so lessons stay undisrupted and standards stay consistent.

A school is not a standard commercial space. Pupils, staff and visitors move through it all day, hygiene expectations are high and safeguarding sits at the centre of everything, so we bring an approach built specifically for education rather than a generic cleaning contract.

Health, Safety & Compliance

Cleaning in a school carries responsibilities that go beyond appearance, and we take them seriously. Our work is supported by proper risk assessments and method statements, safe handling of cleaning products in line with COSHH, and colour coded equipment that helps prevent cross contamination between areas such as washrooms and food spaces.

Our team of over 300 front-line cleaning staff are well-equipped to tackle any cleaning task, big or small. We prioritise the health, safety, and well-being of our staff and clients, which is why we’re accredited with ISO 45001 and are SafeContractor approved.

Furthermore, our commitment to quality and environmental management is reflected in our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

We use natural, non toxic and environmentally friendly cleaning products wherever possible, alongside a Capture and Removal vacuuming system that improves indoor air quality.

Cleaner air and safer products help maintain a healthy learning environment and reduce absenteeism caused by preventable illness.

Duscuss Your School Cleaning Needs

Why regular school cleaning matters

A clean, well maintained school protects health, supports learning and reflects the values of the institution. Regular professional cleaning delivers benefits that reach well beyond a tidy building.

A healthier environment

Consistent cleaning and disinfection help limit the spread of germs and bacteria, reducing illness among pupils and staff.

Better indoor air quality

Dust and allergens build up over time. Regular cleaning removes these contaminants and helps keep the air in classrooms cleaner and more comfortable.

Improved focus and learning

A clean, orderly environment reduces distraction and supports concentration, helping both pupils and staff perform at their best.

Longer lasting facilities

Proper cleaning and maintenance protect floors, furniture and fittings, extending their life and reducing the cost of repairs and replacements.

A stronger first impression

A spotless school makes a lasting impression on parents, visitors and inspectors, and reinforces confidence in the institution.

What Do Our School Cleaning Contracts Cover?

We offer a full range of cleaning services for education settings, delivered by teams who understand the demands of a busy school environment. Programmes are built around your priorities, your timetable and your budget.

Safeguarding and Vetted cleaning teams

Safeguarding is central to any school, and it shapes how we recruit, train and manage the people who work on your site. Our cleaning operatives are DBS checked and briefed on the standards and awareness expected in an education setting, so you can trust the people in your building around pupils and staff.

Wherever possible we provide a consistent, named team who get to know your school, its routines and its expectations. Familiar faces mean higher standards, fewer briefings and a cleaning service that feels like part of the school rather than a rotating list of strangers.

Cleaning that Works Around Your School Day

Cleaning should support the school day, not interrupt it. We plan our programmes around your timetable, working before or after hours where needed so classrooms and corridors are ready without disrupting teaching.

School holidays are the ideal window for the deeper work that is difficult to complete during term. We can use holiday periods for deep cleans, floor restoration and detailed washroom work, so pupils and staff return to a setting that looks and feels refreshed. Whatever the pattern of your year, we build the schedule around it.

Ready to Raise Cleaning Standards at Your School?

Every school is different, so we start by understanding yours. We will visit your site, assess your spaces and your timetable, and put together a cleaning programme built around the way your setting runs. There is no cost and no obligation.

A consistently clean and well maintained environment also supports the standards schools are expected to uphold, helping your site show at its best when it matters most, including during Ofsted inspections.

“Just an update with the cleaning progress at MTBS over the half term. ServiceMaster’s site manager Laura and I had a walk around this morning and things seem to have gone really well. Hard floors have been buffed, and the shine is returning. Laura provided me with a rota of staff working hours and areas which is really helpful with contractor’s and caretaker open/lock up procedures. We have been particularly impressed with Laura’s knowledge, organisation and communications skills – credit to her and thanks to the team for their hard work during this short half term.”
