Warehouse cleaning across Bedford and Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire sits between the M1 and the A1, joined by the A421, which is why so many warehouses and distribution centres are built here. Large distribution parks cluster around junction 13 of the M1, and there are warehouses and storage units around Bedford, Kempston and Biggleswade.
Locus Services cleans these buildings, from high-bay distribution centres to single units on a trading estate. We’re based in Cambridgeshire, so Bedfordshire is close to home for our crews.
Buildings we clean in Bedfordshire
Warehouses
Storage buildings with tall racking, where dust collects on beams, roof steelwork and the top levels of stock. We clean from MEWPs, one aisle or zone at a time.
Distribution centres
Big, high-throughput sites where goods move in and out all day. We work around delivery slots, picking and dock activity, and can come in at night or at weekends.
Factories
Production halls, plant and the steelwork above them. We plan access around production runs and shutdowns, and follow your site’s hygiene and safety rules. See industrial cleaning.
Commercial buildings
Trade counters, business units and the offices attached to warehouse sites: high-level internal cleans, plus cladding, gutters and skylights.
Cold stores
Chilled and frozen storage, cleaned to a plan agreed around stock and temperature. See cold store cleaning.
Cleans between tenants
Many warehouses in Bedfordshire are let, and units change hands often. An empty building is the best time for a full clean. With no stock or racking in the way, we can reach the roof, walls, floors and yards and hand the building over ready for the next occupier. We clean for landlords and agents getting a unit ready to let, and for tenants handing one back at the end of a lease.
What a warehouse clean includes
Every job starts with a free site survey and a written schedule of works. Depending on the building, that covers:
- High-level cleaning: roof steelwork, beams, lighting, ducting and racking tops, by IPAF-trained operatives. See high level cleaning.
- Loading docks and yards: dock levellers, door surrounds, yards and service roads, where grime and spillages build up fastest.
- Floors: deep cleaning, and factory floor painting where a floor needs resurfacing or new line marking.
- Roofline: gutter cleaning to stop leaks onto stock, and skylight cleaning to bring back natural light.
- Bird fouling: safe clearance of pigeon guano, with proofing to stop birds getting back in. See pigeon guano removal.
Safe, planned and properly documented
You get risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) before work starts, and our crews follow your site rules and inductions. Locus is SafeContractor-accredited, Constructionline Silver and a BICSc member, and our operatives hold IPAF and CSCS cards. As a registered upper-tier waste carrier, we take away and record any waste properly.
