Commercial cleaning — London, Sussex and Surrey

Office cleaning you don't need to chase

Facilities managers are not buying cleaning hours. They are buying control. Acies runs every site from a written plan, a trained team and routine checks, so standards hold without you having to inspect them.

The problem

You should not have to check whether the cleaning happened

Most facilities managers do not describe a cleaning problem. They describe a management problem: the same issues raised twice, standards that drift between visits, and no clear answer about who owns a fix. The cleaning is a symptom. The missing system is the cause.

Repeat issues

The same meeting room, the same washroom, the same complaint — reported again because nothing changed the underlying routine.

Unclear ownership

An issue goes to a supervisor, then an account manager, then back again, and you end up following it up yourself.

Invisible standards

Without a written specification, "clean" means whatever the person on shift thinks it means that evening.

How Acies works

Cleaning run as a system you can see

The same six stages run on every Acies site, whether it is one floor or a portfolio. Each one produces something you can look at.

  1. Survey the building

    We walk your site with you and record the pressure points — the areas that get complained about, the times they get busy and the things previous contractors missed.

  2. Write the site plan

    Every area gets a task list and a frequency. It defines what good looks like in writing, so standards are not a matter of opinion.

  3. Train the team to one method

    Cleaners work to the Acies Speed Cleaning Method — a fixed order of work covering safety, sequence and the right tool for each surface.

  4. Check the result

    Routine checks compare the site against its own plan, so a slipping standard is caught by us rather than reported by you.

  5. Fix issues quickly

    You get one named contact and a visible route from raising an issue to seeing it closed.

  6. Tell you what you need to know

    Reporting covers what was checked, what was corrected and anything that needs a decision from you.

What makes Acies different

The difference is the method, not the promise

A written plan, not an assumed one

Site plans set out tasks and frequencies area by area. When something is disputed, there is a document to check rather than a conversation to have.

Cover that does not depend on one person

Task-based teamwork means the method travels with the team. Holiday and sickness cover follows the same plan as the regular crew.

Checks before complaints

Routine quality checks are part of the service rather than a response to a problem. The intent is that you hear about an issue from us first.

One accountable contact

You raise an issue once, with one person, and can see where it got to. No repeated calls and no chasing between accounts and operations.

Built for occupied workplaces

Offices and coworking spaces are in use while they are cleaned. Daytime cover, discretion and shared-space turnaround are planned for, not improvised.

Training as a foundation

Level 1 training covers chemicals, equipment and safe storage before anyone works unsupervised on your site.
Prepared equipment and separated cloths for a repeatable cleaning method.

The Acies Method

Eight rules that make the result repeatable

The Acies Speed Cleaning Method gives every cleaner the same order of work. It is what makes one team's output look like another's.

  1. Safety and security first
  2. One task at a time
  3. Top to bottom
  4. Work clockwise
  5. Cleanest to dirtiest
  6. Use the right tool in the right way
  7. Make every move count
  8. When it is clean, move on

Proof

Case studies are being prepared with client permission

Acies will publish named client stories, measured results and references only where the client has approved them and the figures can be evidenced. That work is under way. Until it is finished, this page makes no claim it cannot support.

If you would like to speak to an existing Acies client as part of your assessment, ask during your site survey and we will arrange an introduction where the client agrees.

See what your site actually needs

A site survey takes about an hour. We walk the building with you, record the pressure points and give you a written plan with task frequencies — whether or not you go on to work with Acies.
