Block & Estate Cleaning
Introduction
At Aldermans Property Services, we provide high-quality communal cleaning for residential developments, mixed-use buildings and managed estates across London and the Home Counties.
We currently deliver cleaning as part of 200+ live property service contracts for more than 75 managing agents. That breadth of experience means we maintain consistent standards across developments of all sizes — from a six-unit block in Barnet to a large multi-phase estate in central London.
Every cleaning contract is managed directly by the business owner, with regular supervision, audits and clear reporting back to the agent or freeholder.

Cleaning Schedules That Fit Your Sites

High-footfall developments and large estates
2–3 Times Weekly
Medium-sized blocks with regular use
Weekly
The most common schedule for residential blocks
Fortnightly / Monthly
Smaller blocks or lower-traffic sites
How We Maintain Standards
With over 200 contracts in place, we rely on robust systems — not just good intentions — to keep standards high across every site.
Supervision & Audits
Regular site inspections and supervisory checks ensure the cleaning specification is being met. We use consistent cleaning teams wherever possible so your building gets people who know it.
Proactive Reporting
Our teams report issues they spot during visits — a damaged light fitting, a fire door not closing, fly-tipping in a bin store. This helps you address small problems before they escalate or generate complaints.
Health, Safety & Compliance
Health and safety are central to everything we do, particularly in occupied residential buildings where residents are coming and going throughout the day.
• CHAS Elite accredited
• COSHH-compliant cleaning products
• Risk assessments and method statements available for every site
• Fully trained staff with appropriate PPE
• DBS-checked operatives
• Environmentally responsible cleaning products where appropriate
We ensure minimal disruption to residents while maintaining high standards of safety and cleanliness throughout
