Industrial cleaning across Dartford
Few places in the South East are as well connected as Dartford. The M25, the A2 and the Dartford Crossing meet here, which has drawn large distribution and industrial sites to the north of the town. Crossways Business Park, near Junction 1a, is one of the largest mixed-use parks on the M25, and its logistics units include large sheds along Clipper Boulevard. Littlebrook sits nearby on University Way, with more industrial space on the Riverside Industrial Estate and around Crayford and Bourne Road.
On sites like these, a clean has to work around lorries, shift patterns and goods that never stop moving. Locus Services cleans warehouses, depots and factories across Dartford and north-west Kent, working zone by zone, and at night or at weekends where that suits the site better.
Industrial cleaning: before and after
Keeping a busy distribution site running
Large distribution units collect dust in places that are hard to reach and easy to forget, such as racking tops, roof steelwork and lighting. It can fall onto stock and people below, and it’s often the first thing a customer or auditor notices.
We clean these buildings a zone at a time, so the rest of the warehouse keeps working:
- High-bay racking and steelwork: cleaned from MEWPs by IPAF-trained operatives, with the area below fenced off. See high level cleaning.
- Loading docks and yards: dock areas and outside surfaces, where dirt and spills collect. See warehouse and factory cleaning.
- Warehouse floors: deep cleaned, or recoated and line-marked with factory floor painting.
- Cold stores and chillers: see cold store cleaning.
Depots, factories and other industrial sites
Not every Dartford site is a big shed. We also clean:
- Vehicle depots and workshops, where oil, dust and grime build up on floors, walls and equipment
- Factories and production areas, planned around your production runs and shutdowns
- Tanks, pits and ducts, by trained operatives under a confined space plan. See confined space cleaning.
- Roofs and gutters, cleared before blockages start leaking into the building. See gutter cleaning.
If pigeons have got into a warehouse or roof void, we can clear the guano safely and fit proofing to keep them out. See pigeon guano removal.
How an industrial clean works
- Free site survey: we look at the work, the access, your operating hours and any hazards.
- RAMS and planning: you get risk assessments and method statements covering COSHH, PPE and work at height, and we agree the zones and order of work with you.
- Site rules: our crews complete your inductions and work under your permits to work.
- The clean: carried out zone by zone, with waste removed and recorded on waste transfer notes.
- Sign-off: we walk the site with you and leave completion records.
