One minute

Clean is a system, not a person trying hard.

This is the short version of everything on this page. Structured, because the work runs to a written specification rather than to whoever turned up. Accountable, because every visit is checked in and every issue carries a time. Consistent, because the same people keep coming back.

It takes twenty-six seconds and there is no sound you need to hear. It will not play until you ask it to.

How it started

Nobody set out to build a cleaning company.

Edgar spent twenty years cleaning other people's buildings before he cleaned any of his own. Long enough to learn the trade properly, and long enough to watch the same thing happen at every company he worked for: pay as little as the market allows, hire through an agency, then act surprised when nobody stays past the spring.

The family had been doing this work for years before there was a company attached to it. Registering Cleanfinity Limited did not start anything — it formalised something that was already running, and put a name and a set of policies around it.

The first contracts arrived the way most of ours still do. A one-off deep clean at a technology company in the West End, done properly, which turned into a managed contract that is still running today. Then a second building, on the strength of the first. Then a third.

We have never bought a lead or cold-called a building. Every account we hold came from work someone had already seen. That is slower than the alternative, and it is the reason we can be specific on this page instead of general.

The company is still growing. It is growing the same way it started — one building at a time, because the last one went well.

Who you will actually deal with

Two people, and you will know which one you are talking to.

Cleanfinity is family-run. There is no account management layer between you and the people who own the work.

Edgar Cabrera

Co-founder & Managing Director

Owns commercial accounts and enquiries. Twenty years in the trade. If you run a workplace, Edgar is the one who walks your building, writes the specification and signs it off — and he is still the person you deal with once the contract has started.

edgar@cleanfinity.co.uk

Alan Cabrera

Co-founder & Operations Director

Owns residential work and day-to-day delivery. Scheduling, cover, site packs, and the checks that make a standard hold when nobody is watching. If a visit is missed or something needs putting right, it reaches Alan the same day.

The range

The same standard, whatever the building.

A West End headquarters, a one-bedroom flat and a City roof terrace. Same specification, same checks, same people.

A Cleanfinity operative detail-cleaning desks, Great Portland Street, London — Workplace · Great Portland StreetThere is no machine for a deskKeyboards lifted, cable trays reached behind, edges wiped rather than skimmed. It is slower than running a cloth down the middle, which is why most specifications quietly stop asking for it.

The written plan behind it is shorter than the one behind a 200-desk floor. It is not a different kind of document.

The first thirty days

From a phone call to the service being boring.

The goal of a mobilisation is that within a month you stop thinking about cleaning. Here is what happens in between.

Day one

The walk

Forty-five minutes on site with the person who will own the account. We look at what is actually there — the floors, the washrooms, the kitchen, the bits everyone forgets — and ask what has gone wrong before.

Within 48 hrs

The written proposal

Scope, frequency, hours and cost, in writing, costed against a room-by-room specification you can read before you agree to anything.

On signing

The specification is signed by both sides

Not a quote and not a brochure. It is the document every future visit is checked against, and it is the reason arguments about what was included do not happen here.

Around 14 days

Mobilisation

Named team assigned and briefed on your building specifically. Access, alarms and keys agreed in writing. Equipment and consumables on site before the first shift, not after it.

First month

First scored inspection

We inspect against the signed specification and score it. You get the result whether it is good or not, because a report you only receive when it flatters us is not a report.

Mobilisation at 180 Great Portland Street took about fourteen days. The contract has more than doubled since.

What we leave on site

Everything lives in the site pack, not in someone's head.

This is the difference between a company and a person who cleans. If the pack is right, anyone we send can hold the standard on their first shift.

The signed specificationRoom by room, task by task, agreed by both sides before anyone started.
Access and key handlingAlarm codes, entry arrangements and who holds what, recorded in writing.
COSHH data sheetsFor every product used in your building, stored where the people using them are.
Risk assessment and method statementWritten for your site, not a template with your name typed into it.
The inspection scheduleWhen your site is scored, against what, and who signs it off.
Consumables and reorder pointsWhat you get through and when it is reordered, so nobody runs out of hand towels on a Friday.
The escalation routeA name and a number. Not a general inbox and not a ticket queue.

A site pack is version-controlled. When something changes, the version number changes, and you can see what changed.

One handover, three photographs

Coleman Street, in the order it happened.

A 1,800 m² floor after a fit-out. Four operatives, two days, 07:00 to 17:00. Roughly eighty operative-hours.

Construction debris on arrival after a fit-out, Coleman Street, London — **What we walked into**Fit-out dust on every surface, debris across the floor, and a handover date that was not moving.

A training floor and breakout area at Coleman Street after the post-construction clean — **What we did about it**Extraction rather than surface shampoo, because construction soil sits in the pile and comes back the moment it dries.

Recovered water after carpet extraction, Coleman Street, London — **What came out of it**The recovered water. This is the part a client never sees, and the reason the carpet stayed clean after we left.

The building was handed over on the date it was supposed to be handed over.

How we work

Five steps, and the same five every time.

The method is the product. It is written down so it survives holidays, sickness and staff changes.

Understand the space

A 45-minute walk of your site with the person who will manage the account.

Define the written plan

A room-by-room specification, signed by both sides before anyone starts.

Brief and mobilise the team

The people who will clean your site are briefed on your site, against your plan.

Deliver and quality-check

Every visit checked in against the specification. Inspections scheduled and scored.

Review and improve

A regular review against the same document, with issues and resolutions on the record.

Carpet staining detail recorded on arrival, Moorgate, London — Step 01 · UnderstandWhat the walk is actually forTraffic-lane staining in a Moorgate boardroom, photographed on the site visit before anything was quoted. You cannot write a specification for a building you have only been told about.

Protective signage in place before handover, Coleman Street, London — Step 02 · Written planThe plan, before the workFloor protection and signage down at Coleman Street before a single machine moved. It is in the specification, so it happens whether or not anybody is there to notice.

Cleanfinity equipment in situ in a living room, Saltdean, Brighton — Step 03 · Brief and mobiliseKit on site before the shiftEquipment staged in a Saltdean living room before the start. Nobody on our team begins a job by hunting for a machine, and no client pays for the half hour that would take.

Cover

The day someone is ill.

Everyone asks this, usually last and slightly apologetically, because everyone has been let down by it before — the regular cleaner disappears and a stranger turns up who does not know where anything is, or nobody turns up at all.

Cover works here for an unglamorous reason. Everyone on our team lives within ten miles of the site they work on, and the furthest is 2.9 miles. A colleague who lives nearby can actually get there at short notice. Someone commuting an hour cannot, whatever they promised at the interview.

The second reason is the site pack. Because what was agreed is written down and kept with the job, the person covering is working from the same document as the person they are covering for. The standard does not depend on anyone's memory.

Terms

Why we do not want a year from you.

A twelve-month contract protects the supplier. It means a client who is unhappy in month three still has nine months to go, and the supplier knows it. That knowledge shows up in the service long before it shows up in a conversation.

Our workplace agreements are rolling monthly with 30 days' mutual notice. Home cleaning is 14 days. If we stop being worth it, you leave, and that is the whole arrangement.

It disciplines us more than it exposes us. We have to earn the next month every month, which is a more reliable quality system than any promise we could print on this page.

Who we work with

The buildings we are actually built for.

If your space is not on this list, ask. You will get a straight answer about whether we are the right fit, including when we are not.

Offices & corporate workspaces

Headquarters and managed floors where presentation is part of the product. Our largest accounts.

Technology & fast-growing teams

Fit-outs, openings and scale-ups. Two of our contracts began as a pre-opening deep clean.

Property managers

Communal areas, entrances, stairwells and corridors across managed residential buildings.

Landlords & portfolios

Turnarounds between tenancies, to a standard that passes an inventory check rather than a glance.

Student accommodation & HMOs

Multi-occupancy properties on a deadline, where every deposit is being judged separately.

Homes

Regular cleaning by the same people each visit, and the move-out clean that has to pass an inspection.

What is checkable

Credentials, and what each one actually means.

Everything below can be evidenced. If it could not be, it would not be on this page.

Credential

Licence to Practice

The professional cleaning qualification covering safe working practice, risk assessment, electrical safety, and the correct handling of equipment and chemicals. It is assessed against a written standard rather than awarded on attendance.

British Institute of Cleaning Science

Held by: Edgar CabreraManaging Director, Cleanfinity Limited
Awarded by: BICScBritish Institute of Cleaning Science
Valid to: August 2029
Type: Individual licenceNot a company accreditation

We are precise about this on purpose. The Licence to Practice is held by an individual, not by a company, so Cleanfinity does not claim accreditation at company level, and does not display the BICSc mark. What it means in practice is that the standard our operatives are trained and checked against is a published external one, and the person who owns that standard here sits on your site. The certificate is in our compliance pack.

Real London Living Wage

We pay the Real London Living Wage to every member of our team. We are not accredited by the Living Wage Foundation — we pay the rate, and we say only that.

DBS checked

Every person we send to your site is DBS checked before their first attendance.

BICSc Licence to Practice

Held by our founder, valid to August 2029. The training pathway our operatives follow is built on the same standard.

COSHH compliant

Products, storage, handling and training run to our published COSHH Policy, which you can download in full.

Insured

Certificates are included in our compliance pack, issued on request before a first conversation rather than after.

Directly employed

No agency labour and no subcontracted cleaning on contract accounts. It is the choice that makes the rest of it possible.

Beyond the UK

Puente

Puente is Spanish for bridge. Our family is from Loja. Cleanfinity was built in London, by a family that started there.

The farms are small and steep enough that no machine can work them, so the coffee is picked by hand, several passes to a tree, taking only what is ripe. Then it is sorted by eye — red is ready, yellow is early, dull is past it. Nothing further down the chain corrects a bad decision made at that moment.

That is the part we recognise. It is not complicated work. It is either done properly or it is not, and you can tell afterwards.

Then it is sacked and sold at a price set somewhere else, and very little of what you pay for a cup travels back up that hill. The problem is not poverty in the abstract. It is that the money arrives in lumps and has to cover the months in between.

Every year we commit a fixed sum to families in Loja and Quito. We go out, we sit down with people we have known a long time, we see where it goes, and we go back.

It scores nothing in a tender — UK social value is measured on UK impact, and we say so on our Social Value page. We do it because it is where we are from. The coffee in these photographs is not ours and we do not sell it. If that ever changes, we will say so here first.
