Built Around Islington’s Buildings
Islington’s housing is unusually mixed, from Georgian squares to new-build towers. We shape every specification around the building in front of us.
Period conversions (Canonbury, Barnsbury, Highbury)
- The challenge
- Narrow staircases, original tiles and timber banisters.
- How we handle it
- Gentle, surface-appropriate methods that protect period features.
Purpose-built blocks and estates
- The challenge
- Heavy footfall, lifts, bin chambers, graffiti.
- How we handle it
- High-frequency schedules, bin store management and rapid graffiti removal.
New-build developments (King’s Cross, Angel, Archway)
- The challenge
- The lobby is the building’s shop window, with glass, stainless steel and stone.
- How we handle it
- Presentation-standard finishes and stone floor care.
Mixed-use and commercial (Upper Street, Holloway Road)
- The challenge
- Flats above shops and shared office common parts.
- How we handle it
- Out-of-hours visits that fit around trading times.

Questions managing agents ask
If yours isn’t here, we’ll answer it at the survey.
How much does communal areas cleaning cost in Islington?
The price depends on the size of your building, how often you need visits, the tasks in your specification, and practical points such as equipment storage and parking. After a free site survey, we give you one fixed monthly figure in writing, so the cost sits cleanly in your service charge budget. We work hard to keep that price unchanged for as long as possible.
Can you provide the documents we need to approve you as a contractor?
Yes. We are ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001 certified, SafeContractor accredited and fully covered by public liability insurance, and we provide copies of our certificates and health and safety documentation on request. Much of your compliance checking is already done before we start.
Can you clean period conversions without damaging original features?
Yes. Many Islington buildings, from Barnsbury and Canonbury to Highbury, have original tiled floors, timber banisters and narrow staircases. We note these surfaces at the survey and choose gentle, surface-appropriate methods and products for each one, so the clean protects the features that give the building its character.
Do you look after bin stores and bulky waste?
Yes. We can add bin store management to your specification, including tidying, moving bins for collection days and keeping recycling streams separated. We also remove bulky items and report fly-tipping to you promptly, so problems are dealt with before residents complain or the council gets involved.
How do keys, access and parking work?
We can hold keys and fobs securely, and agree access arrangements with you at the survey. Much of Islington has controlled parking, so we plan visits and equipment around each building’s access and parking options and factor this into your quote, with no surprises later.
How do we switch from our current contractor?
Switching is simple. We survey your building, send you a written specification and fixed quote, and agree a start date that fits around your current contractor’s notice period. On the first visit, our team works through the full specification so the building is back to standard from day one.
