Shard End Commercial Cleaning Around All Saints Square
Shard End is a housing estate first and a workplace second. A large estate of council houses was laid out here from the late 1940s between the Coleshill Road, the Chester Road and the River Cole, and in among them sits a parade at All Saints Square, a scattering of smaller local shops, community centres, church premises and schools. That is the commercial stock of the ward. It is small, it is independent, and most of it is a room or two the public walks into with a washroom behind.
We cover Shard End on a set day each week, so it is worth booking ahead. Visits run within our hours of Mon to Fri 8am to 6pm and Sat 9am to 6pm, and an 8am start usually clears a shop before it begins trading. If the B34 day does not suit you, tell us at the enquiry and we will set out what we can offer.

One public floor and one shared washroom on the B34 estate
The buildings here are simple and the pressure on them is concentrated. A single room premises has one floor that the public stands on and one washroom shared by staff and customers, and both of those are what people remember. Community centres run to a booking diary, so the mess arrives in bursts after the busy bookings and does not build up evenly through the week. And there is a seasonal factor peculiar to this estate: a great many properties and premises here sit near the Cole valley and the Kingfisher Country Park footpaths, and from October through to March wet mud comes in on every pair of boots that crosses the threshold. Entrances in B34 work harder in winter than the rest of the building does all year.
- Independent shops, takeaways and offices around All Saints Square with no cleaner of their own and a floor the public walks on
- Community centres and halls where the work follows the booking diary
- School premises wanting a holiday programme, when halls and dining floors stand empty
- Entrances taking wet mud off the Cole valley and country park footpaths from October through to March
- Washrooms in single room premises, shared by staff and public, which is what people remember about a visit
- Small budgets that want a fixed figure per visit, with no hourly rate creeping upward
A fixed figure per visit and a held slot on the Shard End day
Everything is quoted as a written scope with a fixed figure per visit, because that is what small premises here ask for and it removes the argument at the end of the month. You get a held slot on one of the set Shard End days, and the scope records the details that make a short visit efficient, such as where the matting goes and which areas come first. If you give us a key or code, you need not be in. Through the winter, matting is lifted and cleaned underneath on every visit, because valley mud comes in on every wet day once the weather turns.
- A written scope and a fixed figure per visit, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise and nothing is billed by the hour

- If you give us a key or code, you need not be in, and the arrangement is written down

- Tasks, frequency and access arrangements set out in the written specification before the first visit

One B34 day, several premises
B34 bookings are grouped onto the one day, with All Saints Square and Shard End Crescent at the centre of it. Access is good: wide roads, verges and off street space mean no time is lost circling for a space. Larger buildings with fixed times, such as community centres, are set first, and smaller shops are fitted either side of them. The parade at All Saints Square is compact enough that equipment moves between neighbouring units on foot, with the van parked once for several visits. If yours would be the only premises booked on the estate, we will tell you which day we are in B34 and let you decide whether that suits, so you are not promised a slot that cannot be held.
Matting, washrooms and the winter line in a Shard End quote
We quote a fixed figure per visit against a written scope, because that is what small premises ask for and because an hourly arrangement in a small premises rewards the wrong thing. Floor area, washroom provision and frequency set it, along with how much matting and entrance work the winter scope needs. Consumables are named separately so you can decide whether to buy your own, and a seasonal line for the winter entrance work is shown on its own so you can see when it starts and stops. Nothing sits on a minimum term. Where two or three neighbouring premises want the same day, we can quote them together on one schedule.
Weekly or fortnightly on the Shard End day, with more time on winter entrances
Shard End is covered on a set day, and commercial visits here are weekly or fortnightly on that day. A shop or a small office sits well on weekly. A takeaway keeps its own end of day floor routine, and our weekly visit takes the deeper work behind the counter and in the washroom. Community centres suit a weekly visit on the Shard End day, agreeing with you what each visit covers after the busiest bookings, with a longer periodic clean each quarter for the kitchen and the high level. School premises suit a holiday programme, when hall and dining floors can be cleared and done properly. Through the winter, entrances on this estate earn extra time on each visit, so we quote that seasonally and let the summer figure drop back.

Frequently asked questions
You hear it from us before the day, with the reason, and it is rebooked onto the next B34 day that suits you. The scope and the key arrangement are written down, so the visit follows the same specification whenever it happens.
Yes. Shard End is covered on a set day each week, so it is worth booking ahead to get a time that suits your opening. If a neighbouring premises wants cleaning too, it can go on the same day and the two visits are planned back to back.
Yes, if you are the landlord or the managing agent. We quote against the cores, flights, landings and entrance glass, and invoice you directly on the Shard End day. We will not start cleaning a stair on a resident’s say so and then look for somebody to invoice.
We put the visit on the Shard End set day, weekly or fortnightly depending on how hard the hall is used, and agree what each one covers so the mess from the busy end of the week is dealt with properly. A longer periodic clean each quarter takes the kitchen, the servery and the high level. A visit to a hall that has not been used since the last clean is money better kept, so a quiet hall can sit on fortnightly.
The footpaths. A lot of this estate backs onto the Cole valley and the country park, and from October to March people bring wet mud in on their boots all day, not just after rain. Once the matting is saturated it stops catching anything and simply holds the mud against your floor. Lifting and cleaning the mat on every visit does more than mopping harder, and through those months the entrance gets more of each visit than the rest of the building does.
