What we do

How we help

Bin stores, stairwells, alleyways and communal corridors are shared spaces that nobody owns day to day. They collect waste, drug litter, needles, bird guano and worse. Residents and staff have to walk through them, and contractors have to work in them.

Our bin store cleaning service deep cleans and sanitises these areas, including removal of contaminated waste.

Real job: bin store clean

The photos on this page are from one of our jobs. One bin store had waste and drug litter. Another had built-up bird guano. Both were cleared and sanitised.

What we do

We assess the site and agree the scope of work with you. You get a fixed, written quote before work starts. On site, we complete a risk assessment and method statement and work in PPE suited to the hazard.

Contaminated waste is removed. Where needles are present, every sharp is lifted with the correct tools and placed straight into an approved sharps container. Guano is damped down before removal to keep dust to a minimum. Floors, walls and fittings are then deep cleaned and sanitised.

Regular site visits

Bin stores and communal areas often have an ongoing problem. For those sites, we can set up scheduled visits and sweeps so issues are dealt with before they build up.

Housing providers, FM contractors, commercial sites and councils use this service. Waste is disposed of correctly by a licensed waste carrier, with waste transfer notes, and you receive a completion report with before and after photos.
