At the Tudor Group and AQS, we understand and embrace new cleaning developments and technology. For example, for some of our education or commercial cleaning projects, we are exploring the use of state-of-the-art iRobots, to work alongside and assist our operatives. The circular robotic vacuum cleaners are programmed to ‘map’ the room; then placed on the carpet to independently clean, retaining the room’s information for next time. Efficient and perfect for those spaces. 

But when it comes to more specialist cleaning, such as deep cleaning commercial kitchens or floor cleaning, the work is undertaken by IS045001 compliant, certified, and highly trained operators using the latest machinery and equipment.

Our mantra is to brighten places where people live, work and play - and we do that by fully considering each of our clients’ different needs: we know that every environment and every job, has specific considerations. We provide cutting-edge tech when it’s needed; and we deliver highly trained specialist cleaning operatives when they are what the job demands.

Here are just a few of the established specialist cleaning services we offer…

Confined spaces work

This is specialist work, requiring confined space awareness training to ensure all procedures are followed correctly, and relevant industry standards are applied. Depending on the requirements of the job, our operatives are often needed to physically climb into a space, such as an oven, in order to clean it.

Once inside the oven, the team of two (for safety) will scrape it clean. Using nothing more technical than a metal scraper in a dry environment, mastering working in specialist PPE (Hazmat suits, bespoke ventilator facemasks, headlights, gloves, safety boots, CO2 and gas detectors), with a mobile ventilation system blowing fresh air through the space, is complex and cannot be undertaken lightly without serious welfare considerations. 

Duct cleaning is another example of where this specialist training is so important. Keeping ductwork clean and free of dust and grease gives our clients peace of mind that they are compliant with the high industry standards and also providing a healthy and safe working environment for their staff. 

Working at height



For high ‘reach and wash’ jobs, such as gutter or canopy cleaning, our operatives use cherry pickers or mobile scaffold towers. To meet the regulations which protect them, they must have completed IPAF training for working at height using powered access equipment, or MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Working Platforms) and be PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association) accredited. 

Strip and seal floors

Maintaining and restoring flooring in heavily trafficked areas is important, both to protect it from spillages and to increase its lifespan. Ensuring that the right strip and seal solutions are applied, and that the correct processes are followed, is essential to keep the floor in top condition; each job is carefully assessed by our highly trained team to ensure that any potentially hazardous substances are removed, and any other restriction or limitations have been considered. 

If carried out thoroughly and safely, under expert supervision, a strip and seal process can transform commercial flooring and reduce overall wear and tear. 

Industrial high-level vacuum 

For incredibly dusty areas, such as the steelwork at recent project at the Harper Adams Agri-Tech building, we use the high-level vacuum-cleaning system SpaceVac, which allows our operatives to access hard to reach areas such as warehouse gutters or pipes.

The safe and efficient method of cleaning means that our team can easily reach areas up to 20 metres above the ground, with no additional equipment such as scaffolding needed.

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

Our solutions are always tailored to our clients’ requirements, and in the case of our student accommodation projects, shower heads must be cleaned regularly - often monthly - to make sure they are clear of the Legionella bacteria that can cause lung infection and pneumonia. 

We undertake routine inspections, in addition to ‘flushing’ the system (turning on taps when they’re not being frequently used), to ensure the students are safe and our clients are compliant. 

As Alan Gibbon, AQS Regional Operations Director, explains:” We take pride in analysing every single job and working out exactly what that project needs for us to deliver the best possible results. Our operatives are highly trained and expert in every conceivable cleaning scenario, which is what keeps us relevant - and in demand - as a company.”
