Industrial cleaning across London
London’s industrial land sits mostly on the edges of the city: Park Royal in the west, the Lea Valley in the north-east, the Royal Docks and the Thames Gateway to the east, and the logistics sites around Heathrow. These areas hold factories, food production sites, distribution warehouses, depots and plant rooms, many running around the clock.
Locus Services cleans these buildings, from high-level steelwork and ducting to production floors, plant and the outside of the building. We work around your operation, including at night, at weekends and on bank holidays, so production and deliveries keep moving.
Industrial cleaning: before and after
Sites we clean in London
Factories and production sites
Production halls, machinery surrounds and the steelwork overhead. We plan the clean around production runs and shutdowns, and follow your site’s hygiene and safety rules.
Warehouses and distribution centres
High-bay racking, roof steelwork, docks and floors, cleaned one zone at a time from MEWPs so the rest of the site keeps working. See warehouse and factory cleaning.
Depots, workshops and plant rooms
Vehicle depots, workshops, boiler houses and plant rooms, where oil, dust and grime build up on floors, walls and equipment.
Tanks, pits and confined spaces
Tanks, pits, ducts and other enclosed spaces, cleaned by trained operatives following a confined space plan. See confined space cleaning.
Building exteriors
Cladding, brickwork, gutters and roof lights on industrial units, cleaned without disrupting the work inside. See high level cleaning and gutter cleaning.
Cleaning busy sites safely
Every job starts with a free site survey, where we look at the work, the access and any hazards. Before anyone starts, you get risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) covering COSHH, PPE and safe working at height. Our crews complete your site inductions, follow your permits to work and fence off the area they are working in.
On larger sites we split the work into zones and agree the order with you, so your team knows which areas are affected and when.
What an industrial clean can include
- High-level cleaning: roof steelwork, trusses, lighting, ducting and the tops of racking, by IPAF-trained operatives.
- Floors: scrubbing and degreasing, and factory floor painting where a floor needs a new coating or line marking.
- Machinery and plant surrounds: built-up dust, oil and debris cleared from around equipment.
- Bird fouling: safe removal of pigeon guano from steelwork and roof voids, with proofing to keep birds out. See pigeon guano removal.
- Waste: removed and recorded with waste transfer notes.
