Industrial Cleaning

Industrial Cleaning Contractors was established in 1987 to carry out specialist and unusual industrial cleaning services such as exterior building cleaning. Unlike most industrial cleaning companies our core business is the industrial sector. We employ operatives who over the last 22 years have gained considerable experience in tackling some unique and challenging cleaning tasks, from decommission cleans of submarine ballast tanks, to the cleaning of a Nuclear Explosives Environment, to the structural cleaning of a radio telescope. The term Industrial Cleaning covers a wide and equally diverse range of cleaning activities in an even wider field of activities, environments such as,

• Production & manufacturing environments
• Plant rooms & Power Stations
• Pharmaceutical environments
• Food production areas & Breweries
• Mechanical/electrical environments
• High level & structural
• Government, MOD & High Security environments
• Waste recycling plants
• Nuclear environments
• Tank, vessel and confined space working
• Hazardous environments
• Refineries, Railways and Dockyards
• Exterior industrial building cleaning

As well as the more common types of industrial cleaning we also get involved with totally unique projects where a method or established process does not exist. In these circumstances we research possible methods, conduct trials, produce samples, predict results and outcomes and then support our proposals in the form a report along with any anticipated environmental implications and costs.

We will ensure the project is managed and supervised properly and that compliance with a safe working code of practise is strictly adhered to and is the principal priority. 

Where any hazardous waste is involved, or as a by product of the cleaning process, we will on your behalf submit samples for analysis, produce a waste disposal plan, submit costs, arrange for site disposal and produce waste disposal documentation to conform with all current legislation where applicable.

Access can often be a major consideration, we will supply IPAF and PASMA accredited operatives to either erect towers or operate powered access plant up to a height of 40 metres where necessary, or use truck mounted units capable of reaching heights of 72 metres if required. We can also offer rope access operatives or we will arrange for fixed scaffolding to be erected as part of the works package.

Surveying & Costs.

ICC will survey the extent of any works, working with the clients ‘Schedule of Works’ or make recommendations and provide a bespoke schedule. Based upon this information we will then provide a fixed lump sum cost clearly indicating the extent and limitations of works with no hidden extras or exclusions.

Documentation & Procedures.

Prior to commence of any works we will submit, for approval, a bespoke non generic ‘Site Specific Package’ including,

• Risk Assessments
• COSHH Risk Assessment, COSHH data sheets
• Method Statements
• Safety Induction, site specific
• Plant operator certificates. (IPAF Cards all operatives hold accreditation)
• Waste disposal procedures, requirements and documentation

Operatives will read, acknowledge and sign our ‘Site Specific Package’ a copy of which will be supplied to the client. Throughout the works duration site supervision will conduct routine safety checks and ‘Toolbox Talks’ at regular intervals and our management will attend site at least once per week to ensure compliance of such is strictly adhered to.

Management & Supervision.

Each project is unique and all carry a degree of risk and as such we will need to closely work with and understand our clients business, objectives and safety procedures. We understand the importance of getting it right first time. Our approach is to work with the site management, providing experienced site supervision and labour, all our operatives are full time employees, we do not use agency or casual staff. During the last 22 years we have never been contra-charged by any of our clients for delays, damage caused or otherwise. Our primary objective is to secure repeat business, we will only achieve this is if we complete your project safely, on time, on budget and without incident.

Why use us, it’s only cleaning?

How often has a contractor turned up at your premises, without first following your induction and safety procedures, didn’t realise they need personal protection, weren’t told they needed high visibility vests, didn’t have any supporting documentation, weren’t in possession of a site specific Risk Assessment or Method Statement etc, etc. We are confident that our existing and previous customers will endorse our services; need a reference? We’d be happy to supply one.
