Industrial cleaning across Coventry
Manufacturing is one of Coventry’s main employment sectors, and the city’s warehousing and distribution businesses are growing. Factories, workshops and industrial units collect dust on steelwork and lighting, oil and grime on floors, and debris in gutters and roof lights, and a dirty site is harder to keep safe, compliant and presentable.
Locus Services cleans factories, workshops and industrial units across Coventry and the rest of Warwickshire and the West Midlands. We can work 24/7, around your shifts or a planned shutdown, with risk assessments and method statements written for your site.
Industrial cleaning: our work
Coventry’s industrial estates
The Employment Land Review prepared for Coventry City Council (August 2024) assessed 77 employment sites across the city. It lists manufacturing among Coventry’s most dominant employment sectors, and businesses told the review that warehousing and distribution are growing. We can work on any of the city’s estates, including:
| Area | What the review says | What we often clean |
|---|---|---|
| Binley Business Park, Whitley Business Park and Lyons Park | Among the highest-scoring employment sites in the review; Whitley and Lyons Park are noted as in good condition | Factory floors, high-level steelwork, cladding and roof lights |
| Holbrook Park, next to Swallowgate Business Park | A newer development with a mix of unit sizes, mostly storage and distribution with some industrial | Racking tops, docks, floors and gutters |
| Ansty Park, on the edge of the city | Named by businesses in the review as a site where demand is growing, particularly in manufacturing and technology | High-level dust, production areas and cladding |
| Older estates north of the city centre, such as Red Lane, Bodmin Road and Little Heath | Smaller sites, which the review found tended to have limited facilities and less space | Units cleaned between tenants, floors, gutters and yards |
Production lines, older units, tight access
Manufacturing sites need cleaning that fits around production: dust and residue on steelwork above machines, oil on floors and walkways, and pits and voids that need trained crews. On the older, smaller estates, units have often changed hands several times, parking and yard space are tight, and we plan deliveries of access equipment with you and your neighbours in mind.
We clean from the top down, starting at roof level, so dust doesn’t fall onto machinery or surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Where machines stay in place, we sheet them or work zone by zone.
What an industrial clean covers
- High-level surfaces: roof steelwork, ducting, lighting and racking tops, cleaned from MEWPs. See high level cleaning.
- Factories and warehouses: whole-site deep cleans, planned in phases. See warehouse and factory cleaning.
- Floors: scrubbing and degreasing, plus factory floor painting and walkway markings.
- Cladding and yards: pressure washing of cladding, canopies, yards and loading bays.
- Pits, tanks and voids: confined space cleaning by crews trained for the work.
- Roofline: gutter cleaning and skylight cleaning.
- Bird fouling: safe, disinfected clearance of pigeon guano, with proofing to keep the birds out.
Around shutdowns, audits and handovers
A lot of industrial cleaning is tied to a date: a planned shutdown, an audit, a customer visit or a unit changing hands. Tell us the date when you call and we’ll plan back from it. For running sites, we split the building into zones and work at the quietest times, often at night or over a weekend, so production and deliveries carry on. You get photos and a work report at the end.
How an industrial clean works
- Free site survey: we walk the site with you and look at access, hazards, operations and timings.
- RAMS and planning: you get a written quote, risk assessments and method statements, plus a plan for each zone.
- The clean: our crews work through the agreed areas in the right PPE, with access equipment where it’s needed.
- Sign-off: we walk the site with you, and you get photos, a work report and any waste paperwork.
