Commercial Cleaning Company at Gatwick

WLC Group is the cleaning contractor that operators on the Gatwick corridor reach for when they need things done properly. We’re headquartered five miles down the M23 in Pease Pottage, ISO 9001 accredited, and we’ve worked Gatwick-adjacent contracts since the airport was a fraction of the size it is today.

Why operators on the Gatwick corridor choose WLC

A contractor that understands the airport’s operating rhythm

Sites in and around Gatwick don’t shut down at five. Hotels turn rooms 24 hours a day. Logistics warehouses run shifts that orbit airport flight schedules. Aviation-support offices have their busiest weeks when the rest of the country is on holiday. A cleaning contractor that can only operate Monday-to-Friday daytime is useless to most of them.

We’re built differently. Our supervisory structure is set up to run night and weekend shifts as the default rather than the exception. The teams that clean a Manor Royal HQ at six in the evening will be running a hotel turnaround at six in the morning, with the same documented ISO 9001 specification and the same named account manager overseeing both.

And because our head office is on Oswald Norris Way, we’re practically inside the same operational footprint. A problem at Gatwick at 9am is something we can have a manager looking at by lunchtime, not next Tuesday.

What we clean on the Gatwick corridor

Hotels, logistics, aviation support and corporate offices

The Gatwick economy is bigger than the airport itself. It’s the hotels around the perimeter, the logistics estates servicing aviation freight, the office campuses occupied by airlines and travel businesses, and the wider RH6 commercial estate. We work across all of it, with shift patterns and audit trails tuned for each operating model.

01

Hotel and hospitality

Public areas, F&B back-of-house, periodic deep cleans and overnight refresh on hotels in and around Lowfield Heath, Horley and Crawley North.

02

Aviation-support offices

Airline operations centres, ground-handler offices and travel-industry HQs on City Place and the wider Gatwick business estate, cleaned to corporate-grade specs.

03

Logistics and freight

Air-freight warehouses, courier hubs and customs-bonded facilities serviced on shift patterns that work around inbound and outbound aircraft schedules.

04

Car-rental and car-park operators

Customer-facing rental desks, valet hand-back zones and the offices behind them. The presentation standard your customer sees when they land matters.

05

Restaurants and travel retail

Periodic deep cleans, back-of-house hygiene services and front-of-house presentation cleaning, with food-safety-aware operatives.

06

Multi-site groups across RH6

Single point of contact, consolidated KPI reporting and unified spec across hotels, offices and operational sites under the same umbrella.

FAQs

Gatwick cleaning, common questions

Are you actually local to Gatwick?

Our head office is at 25 Oswald Norris Way, Pease Pottage, RH11 9UJ. That’s about five miles down the M23 from the South Terminal. For practical purposes we’re inside the same operational footprint as anyone based in Lowfield Heath or City Place.

Can you run night and weekend shifts?

Yes. A large proportion of our Gatwick-corridor work runs nights, weekends or rolling shift patterns. We staff and supervise those shifts to the same documented spec as our daytime contracts.

Do you work airside?

Our typical Gatwick work is landside, hotels, offices, logistics estates and aviation-support buildings around the perimeter. For airside requirements we can discuss what’s in scope for your security regime.

How quickly can you mobilise?

Account managers can be on a Gatwick-corridor site within 24 hours. Mobilisation of a straightforward contract typically runs inside one week. Larger TUPE-affected mobilisations work to your timeline with a documented plan.

Are your operatives DBS-checked?

For contracts where airside-adjacent or background-checked working is required, yes. We’ll align checks and security clearances with your security regime as part of mobilisation.

Can you handle a multi-site group on the Gatwick corridor?

Yes. We run multi-site contracts across hotels, offices and logistics under one account manager, with consolidated KPI reporting. Get in touch with a portfolio overview and we’ll come back with a coverage plan.
