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.

The housekeeping service provided is based on a specification of procedures and standards. This agreed specification is the basis for the funding of the department.
The standard service frequencies can be flexible and it is possible for departments to fund a higher level of service if they so wish. Contact a member of the Site Services staff for details.
