Built Around Greenwich’s Buildings
Few London boroughs change character as quickly as Greenwich. Within a couple of miles you go from Georgian terraces near the park to post-war estates in Woolwich and glass towers on the Peninsula. Each building type puts different demands on its common parts, so we write every specification around the building we’re cleaning, not around a standard template.
Period conversions (Greenwich town, Blackheath, Charlton)
- The challenge
- Georgian and Victorian houses split into flats, with tight stairwells, encaustic hall tiles, timber banisters and no lift. Permit-only parking on most streets.
- How we handle it
- Hand-cleaning with products matched to each surface, so original features stay intact. Compact kit carried up by hand, and visits planned around controlled parking zones.
Estates and purpose-built blocks (Woolwich, Eltham, Abbey Wood)
- The challenge
- Deck-access walkways, busy lifts, refuse chutes and bin chambers, plus graffiti and fly-tipping in shared areas.
- How we handle it
- Frequent cleans focused on entrances, lifts and stairwells. Chute and bin store cleaning, prompt graffiti removal, and reporting of any issues we find.
Riverside new-builds (Greenwich Peninsula, Royal Arsenal, Kidbrooke Village)
- The challenge
- Concierge-staffed lobbies with full-height glass, stone floors, stainless lift doors and underground car parks. Residents notice every smear.
- How we handle it
- Finishes to presentation standard, stone floor care and streak-free glass. We book in through the concierge or estate office and follow each building’s access rules.
Mixed-use and commercial (Greenwich town centre, Powis Street, Eltham High Street)
- The challenge
- Flats above shops and restaurants, shared office common parts, and entrances that take heavy foot traffic from market days and visitors.
- How we handle it
- Early-morning or after-hours visits that work around trading times and deliveries, keeping residential entrances separate from shop fronts.

“We manage several blocks on the Peninsula, and the concierge used to log lobby and car park complaints every week. Now the glass and stone stay at a standard residents expect, and the cleaners report anything that needs a contractor before it turns into a ticket.”
Helen O. · Telegraph Avenue, Greenwich Peninsula SE10
“Our building is a Victorian house split into five flats, with original hall tiles we were nervous about. The specification sets out what gets done on each visit, so at the AGM I could show leaseholders exactly what their service charge buys.”
Marcus T. · Crooms Hill, Greenwich SE10
“The bin chambers and stairwells on our estate were generating more resident calls than anything else. Within a few weeks of the new schedule starting, those calls dropped off, and the stairwells have stayed clean between visits.”
Joanne K. · Wellington Street, Woolwich SE18

Questions managing agents ask
If yours isn’t here, we’ll answer it at the survey.
How often should the communal areas in a Greenwich block be cleaned?
It depends on how hard the building is used. A Victorian conversion in Greenwich town or Blackheath with five or six flats often needs only a weekly or fortnightly visit. A busy estate block in Woolwich or Eltham, or a riverside development with a staffed lobby, may need cleaning several times a week. We recommend a frequency after the survey and adjust it if footfall or complaints change.
Will you work alongside our concierge or estate management team?
Yes. On developments such as Greenwich Peninsula and Royal Arsenal, the concierge or estate office is usually the first contact for residents. We agree how our team signs in, where equipment is stored and how issues are passed on, so the concierge always knows what has been cleaned and when.
Do you clean internal glazing, entrance doors and lift interiors?
Yes. Entrance glass, door push plates, lift cars and mirrors are where residents and visitors judge a building first, so we can include them in every visit as standard. We list each item in the specification so you can see exactly what is covered.
What happens if a resident reports a problem between visits?
You contact us and we arrange a response. Spills, mess left after a move or a sudden problem in a stairwell can be booked as an extra visit, and we confirm when it has been dealt with. If the same issue keeps recurring, we suggest changes to the schedule rather than relying on repeated call-outs.
Can you include car parks, cycle stores and other shared spaces?
Yes. Many newer Greenwich developments have underground car parks, cycle stores, podium gardens or residents’ lounges alongside the main common parts. We can add any of these to your specification, either on every visit or on a less frequent rotation, and price them as part of your fixed monthly fee.
Can you arrange one-off cleans after building works or major moves?
Yes. Redecoration, fire door replacements, lift refurbishments and the arrival of new residents in a recently completed block all leave dust and debris in common parts. We can schedule a deep clean once the work is finished, then return the building to its regular routine.
