Confined space cleaning services

Here at Locus Services, we believe that every space in your commercial or industrial premises can be cleaned, including confined spaces. With our confined space cleaning services, we can get into the smallest and most confined spaces, whilst ensuring that the area is left clean and safe. 

A confined space is typically defined as an area which is where the normal range of movements may be restricted or impractical. This can include environments such as basements, cavity wall space, sewers, service tunnels and pipes. These areas typically lack oxygen or may contain high levels of dust, fumes or chemical residues that can make working without specialist equipment difficult and dangerous. This is where our confined space cleaning team come in. Health and Safety is paramount to us. Once a site survey has been conducted, we will create a safe working plan on how to access and operate safely within your confined space.

Our cleaning operatives use the best specialist equipment. Equipped with the right tools and knowledge, we can carry out one-off or regular confined space cleaning and maintenance services. Our confined space cleaning services also combine well with a number of other commercial cleaning services we provide here at Locus Services, including warehouse and factory cleaning.

FAQs

  • When cleaning a confined space, we take a number of factors into consideration to provide a safe and effective clean. Firstly, we investigate the space where confined space cleaning is required and identify any risks the space may pose. With confined space cleaning, it’s important to remember that these spaces aren’t designed or intended for people to be in there, which also means that there may be risks present, such as chemicals, dust, lack of oxygen or dangerous gases which could pose a threat to those not properly equipped or trained in carrying out such works. 

    Once we’ve identified any risks present, we can then decide which protective equipment our team need to use, as well as any specialist equipment or cleaning chemicals they may need to provide effective results. Then, we work quickly and thoroughly to carry out the clean, whilst ensuring the results are of the highest quality. 

  • When it comes to confined space cleaning, there are a number of environments which may require cleaning using a range of different methods or chemicals. Our team of cleaning operatives have experience working in a variety of confined environments from sewers and cellars to tanks and silos. Each of these environments requires a different type of confined space cleaning approach, which we pride ourselves on being able to provide. We’ve worked in a vast range of environments, so if you have a confined space which needs cleaning, please contact us for more information.

  • Working in a confined space comes with a number of risks, such as chemicals, lack of oxygen and darkness, which, if not trained or inexperienced, can be highly dangerous. Confined spaces aren’t designed to be regularly accessed, which means that they pose a variety of issues that require professional attention. Our team of confined space cleaning operatives use specialised equipment, chemicals and PPE to reduce any risk of injury and provide the highest level of cleaning, some of which require certification and experience. Our certified and experienced team are also fully compliant with the latest training and regulations and can work quickly and efficiently in a number of confined spaces.

  • Yes, if not carried out properly, confined space cleaning can be hugely dangerous. There are a number of risks involved with confined space cleaning that can pose a danger to health and well-being. Typically, confined spaces are in areas that themselves pose a danger, due to access, environment and, if an in-experienced or ill-prepared person attempts to carry out confined space cleaning, this could pose a danger. There are a number of hazards and risks to be aware of when it comes to confined space cleaning, including lack of oxygen, darkness, flooding, dust, temperature, access restrictions, fire and explosion risks. We’d recommend leaving confined space cleaning to our professional team of cleaning operatives for the best results and safest experience.

  • The equipment needed for confined space cleaning is entirely dependent on the individual case and space. A site survey is carried out prior to work beginning to assess the area. If you are interested in our confined space cleaning services, then contact us to arrange a free site consultation and we can advise on what equipment would be suitable for the job.

Testimonials

"I turned to Locus Services in a degree of desperation. My brother had died leaving his flat in a truly appalling condition. I was struggling to find someone who could deal with the cleaning and sanitation problem, and I had already found that there are a lot of cowboys in this business.


Immediately reassured, communication was excellent, and the price very fair given the nature of the job. The finished work far exceeded my expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend."
