Overview

Cleaning that respects the school day

Schools need cleaners who understand the school day: discreet during teaching hours, thorough between sessions, and never in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our directly employed operatives have spent decades in primary and secondary school estates, through term times, exam seasons and holiday deep-clean windows.

Every WLC school contract starts with a site survey and a documented method statement. From day one your account manager has eyes on the floor, and your headteacher or business manager has a single number to call when something needs to change. Backed by our ISO 9001 quality management system and Enhanced DBS-checked workforce.

Our delivery model

How we mobilise a school contract

A documented, four-stage delivery model built around the way schools actually operate. Every step is audit-ready, safeguarding-aware and matched to your term calendar, holiday windows and SLT reporting cycles.

1

Site survey & specification

Detailed walk-through with your business manager. RAMS, method statement and written scope agreed before contract sign-off, so there are no surprises on day one.

2

DBS clearance & onboarding

Every operative Enhanced DBS-verified before site access. KCSIE-aware safeguarding briefing, signing-in protocols and key-handling all agreed with your SLT.

3

Live delivery & supervision

Daily checklists, supervisor walks and photographic spot-checks. One named account manager and one number to call when something needs to change, ever.

4

Monthly KPI review

Performance reported against agreed SLAs. Audit-ready records on demand for SLT, governors or Ofsted, plus quarterly service reviews with your team.
