Commercial Cleaning Pricing Factors
Several factors determine how much you pay for commercial cleaning:
- Location
- Size of premises
- Services Needed
- Length of service (e.g. a one-off vs an ongoing contract)
- How many staff are needed
- The type of business/premises
- Time needed
- TUPE information, (employee rights and current pay rates/holidays/pensions) from the incumbent contractor
The thing to remember is that the cost will depend on a lot of things. It could save you money in the long term. It also means that cleaning won’t become the responsibility of your existing staff, helping to boost morale.

How We Work Out Cleaning Costs
Here’s an idea of how we’d price a commercial cleaning job.
Size of Buiding
Everything is based on a price-per-hour basis. Therefore if a commercial premises requires eight hours of cleaning, the price would be based on eight hours. These eight hours would typically be split between four cleaning operatives, conducting two hours of cleaning each per evening.
The price depends on the time of the clean, location, materials required/machinery required etc.
If the cleaning is required outside of regular working hours to avoid disruption to the office/work staff then the hours are typically condensed (four cleaners working two hours rather than two working four hours). Working outside normal office hours also helps with the security of the building and means people don’t need to work very late hours.

Flooring
Flooring is the main factor in how long cleaning takes. For instance, hard floors will take longer to clean than carpets. We also factor in whether the flooring needs to be machine washed etc. If it does then the cost of a machine may need to be factored in for daily use, or we could choose to machine-wash periodically.
Building Usage
One example here would be office toilets and kitchens vs large industrial toilets/canteens. These typically take less time to clean. This is because of the difference in working environments which means they can take longer to clean. The longer it takes to clean, the more time required and therefore the higher the price.
