Contract & New Build Cleaning Company For Sale

Business description

This business was founded in 2000 by the Vendor and has since grown to become a highly profitable enterprise with a significant reputation among its customers for the quality of its service, honesty and reliability. They are contract cleaners working within the building industry, doing internal and external builders clean. This will happen several times on each site when they will clean first of all after the 2nd fix, again after the decorators, again prior to the sale, once more after snagging and then culminates in a full sparkle clean prior to the new owner moving in. As the expectation of the client is for fast response and high quality work that can be relied upon, this company excels, being one with a reliability factor and level of service second to none in this industry. This ensures not only that they maintain their high reputation but also ensures a continuity of work, having dealt with clients since their inception. This has also led to further work both through word of mouth referral and also resulting from the migration of staff that is a constant within the building industry.

They benefit from an extensive and impressive list of clients, ranging from small local companies to large blue chip companies and have never yet lost a client! This is a testament to the reliability, service and trustworthiness this company has engendered over the years. In fact they are so good at what they do that they cannot cope with the level of work offered and are in a position of constantly refusing work, feeling it is better to refuse work they can not cope with, than to accept it and give lower levels of service than they are prepared to accept, or offer. This in itself offers a superb opportunity to a new owner who, with increased levels of energy and enthusiasm, ahs an excellent platform from which to expand, both rapidly and exponentially.

Members of the British Institute of Cleaning Science only provides a starting point for this company to work from, not a base line. From this starting point they complete levels of clean and service that other companies, including much larger ones, can only dream of achieving.
