This is a job from the archives, we completed this job some six months back at a hotel in Cheltenham.
This marble floor covered the lobby area of the hotel. Being in a hotel it saw a lot of heavy traffic, and hard wear from high heel shoes etc.
We were called in to give the floor a strip and seal to ensure that it is well protected.
We have just completed some quite extensive works for Spirax Sarco, as previously posted the company are moving their offices to some temporary cabins whilst works are completed.
As well as the cabins some staff have been moved to additional temporary offices. We were given the task of cleaning these offices so as they are ready for use. The offices themselves have stood dormant for almost 2 years. So as you can imagine dust was everywhere and the windows where filthy. Some of the kitchen and canteen areas looked like they had been “abandoned” by the previous occupants.
Spirax Sarco in Cheltenham are undergoing building work, as they extend their sites. During this time some of their offices will be moved and some even completely rebuilt. The majority of their office staff will have to work from temporary offices in this time whilst the work is completed.
This meant that a new contract was required for the Daily Cleaning Services Of these offices.
The requirements of work from Spirax Sarco was very precise:
The high level clean is complete and was finished in plenty of time before the arrival of the world record breaking Steam Car. In total the high level clean of the whole main warehouse took 5 evenings and was completed entirely out of working hours of the factory. The difference made was huge, breeze block walls that previously had black mortar lines where restored to the magnolia painted colour they should be, and all pipes and beams within the ceiling where returned to like new cleanliness.
Air Vent Prior To cleaning
This week Starlight Cleaning has been contracted in to do a high level clean at Spirax Sarco in Cheltenham. We are using a Cherry Picker and IPAF qualified staff to clean all the beams, pipes, air vents and walls at night when the plant is closed as this causes little to no interference to the daily running of a very busy plant.
Over time, daily running of manufacturing plants and workshops produces dust that accumulates on pipes and beams within the ceiling space of workshops. This may not seem like a problem at first, but this dust can frequently come away and drop onto work spaces, landing on freshly painted surfaces and can cause other contaminations, potentially costing thousands. Another issue with having built up dust is that whenever an air current passes over dust, the particles are picked up and circulated within the air. This can cause all sorts of breathing implications for staff working within the area, which can cause sickness and time off work, ultimately costing more money.
This week we had a call from one of our clients in Cheltenham, we manage the cleaning on five of their sites, doing daily office cleaning, and industrial cleaning. In their executive areas they have some very nice high quality wool carpets. Unfortunately these had been covered in oily footprints by one of the night workers. These footprints were in an area where potential clients are taken to discuss contracts. Therefore it was important that the stains where removed as quickly as possible.
