Industrial Cleaning Credentials That Matter
Every qualification listed here is independently verified and current
NEBOSH & IOSH Qualified Supervisors
Our industrial cleaning supervisors hold NEBOSH General Certificate and IOSH Managing Safely qualifications. This means every industrial cleaning contract has a supervisor who understands health and safety law, hazard identification, and risk management at a professional level — not just awareness training.
IPAF Licensed MEWP Operators
All operatives using cherry pickers, scissor lifts, or other mobile elevated work platforms hold current IPAF licences for their equipment category. LOLER inspection certificates for all plant are maintained and available for client H&S files.
IRATA Rope Access Technicians
For industrial environments where MEWPs cannot access safely, our IRATA-certified rope access technicians provide an efficient alternative. IRATA certification is the global standard for industrial rope access and involves rigorous multi-level assessment.
ISO 9001 & 14001 Certified
Both quality and environmental management certifications are current and apply to our industrial cleaning division. For industrial clients with ISO certification of their own, our system documentation integrates cleanly with your supply chain management requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions — Industrial Cleaning
Common questions about our industrial cleaning services across the North East
What types of industrial premises do you clean?
We clean all types of industrial premises: manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centres, food production sites, chemical and process plants, engineering workshops, logistics hubs, steel fabrication shops, and automotive factories. Our industrial cleaning teams carry appropriate qualifications for each environment.
Do you clean during production — without shutting down operations?
Yes — we work around production schedules, not the other way around. Our industrial cleaning teams are trained to work safely in live production environments with moving machinery, forklift traffic, and operational constraints. We develop site-specific safe working procedures and brief operatives before every shift.
What qualifications do your industrial cleaning operatives hold?
Our industrial cleaning teams hold qualifications appropriate to the environments they work in, including NEBOSH General Certificate, IPAF (MEWP), IRATA (rope access), COSHH competency, confined space awareness, food hygiene certificates, and manual handling. All qualifications are current and certificates available on request.
Do you provide COSHH-compliant cleaning for chemical and process industries?
Yes — COSHH documentation is prepared for every industrial cleaning contract and updated whenever products or methods change. Our chemical selection for process industry sites takes into account compatibility with plant materials, drainage requirements, and environmental compliance obligations.
Can you handle deep cleaning for food production facilities?
Yes — we clean food production facilities to BRC, SALSA, and retail auditor standards. Our food production deep cleaning service includes full HACCP documentation, allergen management procedures, temperature-appropriate chemical selection, and written verification of cleaning effectiveness.
