Factory and industrial cleaning across Luton
Luton’s industry is spread across established estates rather than one big site. Dallow Road runs west of the town centre towards the M1, Sundon Business Park, Camford Way and Scott Road make up the main industrial area to the north, and Britannia Estate sits off Leagrave Road. Larger units are found at Prologis Park on Windmill Road and Butterfield Business Park, and Hillwood Park is a new industrial and logistics scheme off Sundon Park Road.
That makes for a real mix of buildings, from small workshops to high-bay warehouses, and each one needs a different plan. Locus Services cleans them from the roof steelwork down to the floor, and we work nights, weekends and planned shutdowns so production can carry on.
Industrial cleaning: before and after

| Part of the site | What we clean | Find out more |
|---|---|---|
| Production areas | Walls, floors, machinery surrounds and the steelwork overhead | Warehouse and factory cleaning |
| Warehouses and stores | Racking tops, roof steelwork, lighting and loading bays | High level cleaning |
| Tanks, pits and ducts | Enclosed spaces, by trained operatives under a confined space plan | Confined space cleaning |
| Worn or stained floors | Floor coatings, walkways and line marking | Factory floor painting |
| Roofs and outside areas | Gutters, outlets, yards and building exteriors | Gutter cleaning |
Planning a factory clean around production
A factory clean only works if it fits around the job the factory is there to do. Before we quote, we’ll want to know:
- when lines stop, such as at night, at weekends or during a planned shutdown
- which machines must be isolated or covered, and who does that on your side
- what needs protecting from dust and water below the work area
- what your insurer, customers or auditors expect to see afterwards
We then split the site into zones and agree the order of work with you, so a problem in one area doesn’t hold up the rest. Work at height is carried out from MEWPs by IPAF-trained operatives, with the area underneath fenced off.
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.
- 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.
