Frequently asked questions
Are you CQC approved or CQC certified?
No — cleaning companies are not CQC certified, and we never claim to be. Our programmes are CQC-aware: designed to support your inspection readiness around cleanliness and infection prevention, with documented records you can present. Responsibility for compliance remains with the registered provider.
Will our residents see the same cleaners each week?
Yes — consistency matters in care settings. We assign the same DBS-checked team wherever possible so residents see familiar faces and staff build working relationships with your team.
What records will we have for inspections?
Written cleaning schedules per area, signed visit logs, supervisor inspection records and corrective-action notes — documentation that supports the cleanliness and infection-prevention questions your inspector may ask.
Can you clean during the day around residents?
Yes. We schedule around mealtimes, activities and personal care, and our staff are trained to work discreetly and respectfully around residents at all times.
What happens during an infection outbreak?
We agree enhanced-cleaning protocols in advance so they can be activated quickly during an outbreak, subject to operational availability. Your management team stays in control of when those protocols apply.
