FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything London businesses need to know about commercial cleaning contracts.
Commercial cleaning refers to professional cleaning services for business premises — offices, construction sites, healthcare facilities, retail units and managed properties. Unlike domestic cleaning, commercial contracts operate under formal service agreements, comply with COSHH 2002 and AWR 2010, and require operatives to hold Enhanced DBS certificates. Vigil provides commercial cleaning exclusively to businesses and does not serve residential clients.
Commercial cleaning costs in London vary based on premises size, cleaning frequency, and service type. Office cleaning typically ranges from £12–£18 per hour for contract cleaning. After builders cleaning and specialist cleans are priced per project. Vigil provides a detailed written quotation following a free site assessment — contact us on 020 3098 6037 or complete our enquiry form for a tailored proposal.
Every Vigil Cleaning operative is directly employed by Vigil Services Ltd (Company No. 11756806) — not sourced through a cleaning agency or labour provider. Direct employment means consistent performance standards, proper employment rights under UK law, full compliance with the Agency Workers Regulations 2010, and clear accountability to our management team. We never use zero-hours contractors for regular commercial contracts.

Commercial cleaning contracts in London
Vigil Cleaning Services has provided B2B commercial cleaning contracts across Greater London since its founding by Vigil Services Ltd (Company No. 11756806). Our contracts follow a 3-month rolling model with a minimum commitment of 2 visits per week and 4 hours per visit, making us suitable for any qualifying business premises regardless of size. We serve offices, healthcare facilities, construction sites and property portfolios under a single account manager.
Unlike many commercial cleaning providers operating in London, Vigil employs all operatives directly. We do not use agency staff, subcontractors, or zero-hours workers. Every operative is COSHH trained under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, DBS checked, and assigned consistently to your premises. Direct employment eliminates the risk of unfamiliar faces on-site and ensures full accountability within our management chain.
TUPE transfers — managed in full
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) apply when a cleaning contract transfers between providers. Vigil manages every aspect of the TUPE process — from identifying qualifying employees through to payroll integration and operational handover. Our clients carry zero liability risk during the transition period. We have experience managing TUPE transfers across London’s commercial, healthcare, and property management sectors.
Regulatory compliance
Vigil’s cleaning procedures are designed to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, COSHH Regulations 2002, and sector-specific standards including CQC Regulation 12 for healthcare facilities and CDM 2015 welfare facility requirements on construction sites. Our operatives receive documented training records, and every visit is signed off with digital proof of service.
Digital reporting — SLA reports every month
Every Vigil client receives a monthly SLA compliance report. The report documents visit completion rates, any outstanding issues, and resolution status. Clients access visit logs in real time through the Vigil client portal. For property management companies managing multiple sites, reporting is consolidated into a single monthly summary — one invoice, one account manager, one report covering all locations in your portfolio.
