Service Times

Most of our cleaning services are carried out in the early morning. Essential areas that will be in use for teaching are cleaned before 9.00am but the cleaning staff are available until mid afternoon.

We think it is important that the cleaners get to know the staff for whom they clean; this allows for a personalised, more flexible service. Therefore, we give our staff a base building from which they work.
