Bordesley Green Commercial Cleaning for Practices, Schools and Halls
Bordesley Green has a commercial market that a grid of Victorian terraces would not otherwise support, and the reason is Birmingham Heartlands Hospital sitting in the middle of it. A hospital of that size draws a ring of premises around itself: GP and dental practices, therapy and diagnostic rooms, pharmacies, small professional offices, and the schools that serve the families living between them. All of it is bought by a practice manager, a site manager or a business owner working to a budget and a standard, and all of it needs cleaning when the building is quiet. Bordesley Green is covered on a set day, with commercial visits weekly or fortnightly on that day, so booking ahead is the way to secure a slot. We start from 8am on weekdays and 9am on Saturdays, and an early start usually has a small practice or office done before its doors open to the public.
The other half of the picture is the community and faith buildings along and off Bordesley Green Road, which are a genuinely different building to clean. Large carpeted halls, shoe racks and a threshold where footwear comes off, washing facilities in constant use, and a pattern of occupancy concentrated into particular days and particular hours rather than spread evenly through the week. Vacuuming a hall that size is a machine job on its own timescale, and the useful window for it moves through the year as prayer times do. We fit the time of the visit on the Bordesley Green day around that.

Judged in seconds: a B9 practice reception and a prayer hall floor
The two sides are judged in the same way and it happens before anybody speaks. A patient walking into a practice on Bordesley Green Road reads the floor, the reception desk, the chair legs and the washroom in a few seconds, and a parent walking into a school reception does the same. Those are the areas that carry the impression, and they are also the ones that decline fastest, because every person entering the building crosses them. Premises here also share a practical constraint that has nothing to do with cleaning: the kerb around the hospital fills from early and stays full, so the time we can realistically be at your door is as much a function of the road as of your opening hours.
- Waiting areas, receptions and corridors in practices around the Heartlands catchment, judged before a patient has spoken to anybody
- School premises wanting a weekly clean of receptions and halls in term time, and a longer programme through the holidays
- Community and faith buildings with large carpeted halls, shoe off thresholds and washing facilities in heavy use
- Occupancy concentrated into particular days and hours, not spread evenly, so a flat weekly rota fits badly
- Small professional offices and first floor suites off Bordesley Green Road with no service entrance and nowhere to leave a van standing
- Washrooms in premises where the public outnumber the staff several times over and the consumables go accordingly
Signed specifications listing the tasks, the frequency and the access
Every site gets a written specification, area by area with a frequency against each line, agreed and signed before the first visit and reviewed on a set date. It also records the access arrangements for each building. We are insured, the certificate is available on request, and before anything is agreed a risk assessment and a method statement go to whoever is procuring the work, because a practice manager or a site manager will be asked for those by somebody above them and should not have to chase us for them. Where your own procedures require your products, your colour coded equipment and your record sheets, we use them and complete the sheet on the visit. If you give us keys and an alarm code, they are recorded in writing and the setting is tested on the first visit.
- A signed specification per site, area by area, reviewed on a set date
- Risk assessment and method statement sent to your practice or site manager before anything is agreed, insurance certificate on request
- School safeguarding requirements settled with the school in writing before any school site work is agreed
- Your own products, colour coded equipment and record sheets used wherever your procedures require them
- Visits timed for the quiet part of the day, which around Heartlands is also when the kerb is workable

The ring around Heartlands
The premises we clean in B9 are the practices, pharmacies, offices, schools and community buildings threaded around the hospital and along Bordesley Green Road, and the scope is clear-cut. We clean receptions, waiting areas, corridors, offices, staff facilities, washrooms, and consulting room floors and general surfaces, to a specification you set. We are not a healthcare decontamination contractor and we do not take on ward, theatre or clinical decontamination work, and if that is what you are procuring, you will hear that on the first call. Parking is the practical constraint on everything else here. We plan B9 visits around the streets near the hospital that are workable at each time of day, and carry in on foot when the kerb defeats us.
Visit count, timing and consumables in a Heartlands practice quote
Commercial work here is priced per month on floor area, whether we visit weekly or fortnightly, the time of day we work, and whether washroom consumables and waste handling sit with us or with you. Three things add cost and we name them at the quote. A school site carries its own safeguarding requirements, which have to be settled with the school before anybody cleans anything. Premises requiring us to use your own products and complete your paperwork take longer per visit than premises that do not. And a large carpeted hall is a machine job with its own timescale, which does not belong inside a figure worked out from floor area alone. School holiday programmes are quoted separately from term time, because they are a different piece of work altogether.
Weekly or fortnightly on the Bordesley Green day, timed around each building
Bordesley Green is covered on a set day, and commercial visits here are weekly or fortnightly on that day. A practice or clinic sits well on a weekly visit that takes the waiting area, the washrooms and the consulting room floors back properly, with its own staff keeping on top of spills between visits. School sites suit a weekly term time visit for receptions, halls and dining floors, with a heavier programme in the holidays when those floors can actually be taken up and done properly. Community and faith buildings follow their own pattern, and we time the visit on the Bordesley Green day for the hours the main hall is empty. A small office above the parade sits comfortably on fortnightly. Nothing here carries a minimum term.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, for the non clinical parts: reception, waiting areas, corridors, offices, staff facilities, washrooms, and consulting room floors and general surfaces, worked to a specification you set. What we do not do is clinical decontamination, ward cleaning or theatre work, which needs a specialist healthcare contractor. We would sooner tell you that at the enquiry than take the contract and disappoint you three months in.
Yes, and without being asked twice. A risk assessment and a method statement go to whoever is procuring the work before anything is agreed, with our insurance certificate on request, because you will be asked for them by somebody above you and should not have to chase a contractor for paperwork that ought to be ready. If your organisation has its own supplier forms, send them over and we will complete them.
Yes. The school sets its own safeguarding requirements, and we settle them with you in writing before any school contract is agreed, alongside the insurance and method statements. Term time work happens once pupils have left in the afternoon, with the heavier jobs such as hall floors and dining areas moved into the holidays when there is time to do them properly.
Yes. The hall is busiest on particular days and at particular hours, and those hours move through the year, so we agree the time of our visit on the Bordesley Green set day with you and revisit it as the timetable changes. A hall of that size is a machine vacuuming job with its own slot, separate from the entrance, the washing facilities and the shoe area.
By planning. The kerb around Heartlands fills early and stays full, so we schedule B9 work for the hours when it is workable and carry equipment in on foot when it is not. That is also why visits here are timed for the quieter parts of your day, which suits your building as much as it suits our planning.
