In London, you can expect the hourly cost to be higher at \u00a325-\u00a335 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, you can expect to pay more for cleaning services in cities than you would in rural areas. If your commercial space is in an urban area, expect to pay \u00a320 or more an hour for cleaning. However, you\u2019ll probably have more choice than those in quieter areas, allowing you to shop around for the best value for money.<\/p>\n<p>But remember, the cheapest option often won\u2019t be the best! Cleaning services aren\u2019t something you should try to save on, as the difference will become fairly obvious once you see the quality of the job.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_Cleaning_Cost\"><\/span>Factors Affecting Cleaning Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are lots of factors that can affect the price of communal area cleaning, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Size of the area<\/li>\n<li>Extent of work that needs doing<\/li>\n<li>Specific services that might not be covered in a standard cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Frequency of the work (more regular cleaning means less needs doing per visit)<\/li>\n<li>Number of cleaners used per job \u2013 it\u2019s usually better to have several cleaners come per visit to get the job done quicker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, you\u2019ll find that you\u2019ll pay less for getting carpets hoovered than you would for, say, window cleaning in a large stairwell. Ideally, you\u2019ll want to find a cleaning service that provides you with an estimate before starting work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Communal_Areas_are_Covered\"><\/span>What Communal Areas are Covered?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Communal areas are typically spaces in shared housing buildings, although the specifics will depend on the type of building. It\u2019s a term that applies to both domestic and commercial spaces, meaning shared areas in office blocks are covered too.<\/p>\n<p>Typical communal areas include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stairwells<\/li>\n<li>Reception areas<\/li>\n<li>Lifts<\/li>\n<li>Shared spaces in HMOs (kitchens, living areas, bathrooms, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The short answer is that a communal area is any space used by more than one building resident. It\u2019s important to keep these areas clean for hygiene reasons, but also to impress any visitors to the building. After all, a messy reception area doesn\u2019t reflect too well on the company managing the building!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Services_are_Covered\"><\/span>What Services are Covered?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The extent of the services offered for communal area cleaning is theoretically endless because it depends on the area itself. As standard, you can expect hoovering, dusting, mopping, and wiping down surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, you can often request more in-depth jobs, such as internal window cleaning, post box organisation, and deep cleans of areas like kitchens and bathrooms. It\u2019s vital that these areas are kept clean due to the impact they can have on the overall hygiene levels in the building.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to discuss your needs with your chosen cleaning company, as they can have a big impact on how much the job will cost. For example, a standard hoovering of stairwells shouldn\u2019t take more than a few hours. But if you throw in window cleaning and other services, you can expect it to take several cleaners half a day to do properly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/communal-area-cleaning-services\/\">Communal area cleaning services<\/a> are a must for any property manager that wants to make a good impression.
