Commercial Cleaning in Greenwich
Greenwich splits into a historic town centre that runs on visitors, a peninsula that runs on events and new workspace, and a belt of retail parks and industrial units along the river at Charlton. Each needs a different cleaning operation. We clean offices, studios, venues, shops, retail parks and schools across SE10, SE3 and SE7.
The town centre is a World Heritage setting: a covered market, a university and a music conservatoire in historic buildings, a museum group, and a dense strip of restaurants, pubs, cafes and independent shops that fill with visitors every weekend. Commercial premises here are old, protected and small, with narrow streets, resident parking and no loading to speak of. Cleaning follows the visitor pattern: early mornings before the crowds, late evenings after the pubs, and care with historic finishes.
The Peninsula is the opposite. Around the arena, a design district of purpose-built studios and workspace has grown alongside new offices, hotels, restaurants and a large residential estate, all managed to estate rules with contractor registration and loading schedules. Event nights transform the place: tens of thousands of people arrive, hospitality runs late, and public areas need a reset before the next morning. Workspace buildings are cleaned in the evening like any modern office; the venues and hotels are cleaned around the calendar.
Charlton and the riverside between the Peninsula and Woolwich hold Greenwich’s working economy: retail parks, trade counters, car showrooms, warehouses and light industrial estates. These need warehouse and showroom cleaning, floor scrubbing at scale and washroom service for shift-based workforces, with vehicle access that is easy compared with the town centre. Blackheath adds a village high street, independent schools and clinics with a residential character.
Transport varies. North Greenwich on the Jubilee line serves the Peninsula well, Greenwich and Cutty Sark on the DLR serve the town, and Charlton and Blackheath have rail. Deptford and the Creek to the west hold further studios and workshops. Canary Wharf across the river and Southwark upstream are the neighbouring pages.

Access, hours and building rules.
- Heritage finishes. Town-centre buildings are old and often protected. Products and methods are chosen for the material and written into the specification.
- Event nights. Arena events change access, traffic and hours on the Peninsula. Shifts and deliveries follow the event schedule.
- Estate registration. The Peninsula runs contractor registration and loading schedules. They are completed before the first shift.
- Two logistics models. The town centre is carry-in with no parking; Charlton has yards and loading bays. Supply is planned for each.

Greenwich questions
Questions from businesses in SE10, SE3, SE7.
Can you clean a studio in the Greenwich Peninsula design district?
Yes. The studio buildings are cleaned in the evening like modern offices, with common parts, washrooms and kitchens on a daily specification and studio interiors on whatever frequency the tenant wants. The estate’s contractor rules are handled as part of the contract.
Do you clean around events at the arena?
We do. Hospitality and public areas on the Peninsula are cleaned to the event calendar, with late starts on show nights and a full reset before the following morning. Deliveries and shift changes avoid the arrival and departure crowds.
Do you cover the Charlton retail parks and industrial estates?
Yes. SE7 is part of this page. Retail parks and trade counters get sales-floor and showroom cleaning before opening; warehouses and industrial units get floor scrubbing, welfare-area cleaning and washroom service on shift patterns, with proper vehicle access for equipment and supplies.
What must we clean and prove when leaving a lease on a Greenwich town-centre unit?
A typical lease makes the tenant hand the unit back clean and in good repair, however it looked on day one, unless a schedule of condition was recorded when the lease began. A landlord’s surveyor can then claim for cleaning, redecoration and reinstatement, capped under the 1927 Landlord and Tenant Act, section 18, at the landlord’s true loss in value. A documented end-of-lease clean with dated photographs before and after, plus an extract certificate if the unit has a kitchen, is inexpensive proof against an inflated claim. For a protected building in the World Heritage core, the methods are matched to the finishes.
Can one invoice cover a Peninsula studio and a Charlton warehouse under the same contract?
Yes, and it is the easiest arrangement to reconcile. The usual practice is a single monthly invoice covering routine cleaning, consumables and any periodic work, paid by bank transfer within seven to thirty days. A business with a design district studio and a unit on the riverside estates gets both sites itemised on one document, with the different hours and logistics of each shown separately. Larger clients sometimes ask for thirty to forty-five day terms, which we agree at the outset rather than argue over later. Nothing arrives as a surprise line for toilet rolls.
