Specialist cleaning contractor across the UK. North West-based, working nationwide.

Site Developments

Cleaning that runs at the pace of your development.

Phased builder’s clean, re-clean, sparkle clean across active site developments. Plot-by-plot, scheme-wide. The same standard from the first plot to the last.

Active site developments don’t live or die on any single clean. They live or die on whether the cleaning runs reliably across the whole programme. Plot 1 going beautifully and plot 47 missing the handover deadline by a week. The contractor that nailed the first phase but couldn’t scale for the second. The mid-scheme drop-off when the work gets repetitive and the standard slips.

LG Cleaning works with developers, housebuilders, and main contractors across the UK on phased site developments. Residential schemes, mixed-use developments, build-to-rent, multi-plot commercial. The cleaning runs across the development as a continuous programme rather than a series of separate jobs, with the same standard from the first plot to the last and the documentation built into every handover.

The accreditations are in place. The team scales with the scheme. The programme is the programme.

─ The cleaning scope

Three phases, plot by plot.

On an active development, the three phases happen in different plots simultaneously. Builder’s clean on plot 23. Re-clean on plot 18. Sparkle clean on plot 11. All running together, all to the same standard.

01

During the build

Builder’s clean

Heavy clean during and after the build, plot by plot. Removal of construction debris, dust, plaster splash, paint over-spray. Carried out around the live build programme so following trades aren’t held up. Scheduled to fit your sequencing rather than disrupt it.

02

Between trades or before walk-throughs

Re-clean

Mid-stage clean to bring a plot back to a presentable standard between trades or before show home opening, marketing photography, or buyer walk-throughs. Useful at any point in the plot’s lifecycle where it needs to look like progress, not like a building site.

03

Pre-handover

Sparkle clean

Final pre-handover clean to a finish that survives close inspection. Glass, frames, fittings, finishes, floors, sanitaryware. Done with the snagging team in mind, not against them. The plot is signed off as ready for the buyer or tenant, not ready for one more clean.

─ How we operate

Site protocols and commercial protocols.

Two operational concerns that sit alongside the cleaning itself. We handle both with the discipline developers and site managers expect across a multi-plot programme.

Across the development

How we operate across the development

Active developments have their own protocols, and the cleaning subcontractor that doesn’t respect them is the one that causes problems. Our teams are briefed on your scheme’s specific requirements before they arrive, and re-briefed as the development progresses through phases.

  • Full PPE compliance, CSCS-carded operatives
  • Sign-in and sign-out through your site’s system
  • Site induction completed before any work starts
  • Method statements and risk assessments in place for every task
  • Named site contact across the full development programme
  • Equipment held for the duration; team scales with the scheme
Working with the developer

Working directly with the developer

Most development cleaning sits as a direct commercial relationship between the developer and us, with the operational relationship running through site management. The contract is at developer level. The day-to-day decisions sit with whichever site manager is running the active phase.

  • Quotes and scope agreed up front
  • Variations managed through written instructions, not informal asks
  • Invoicing aligned to the developer’s preferred process
  • Phase changes flow through proper change control
  • Same discipline if the development runs through a main contractor

─ Built around the credentials

The accreditations that developers require.

We hold the accreditations that developers and main contractors actually require from a cleaning subcontractor on serious schemes: CHAS Advanced, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 (and any other ISO certifications listed in our compliance pack). Full health and safety policies and documentation are maintained as part of how the business runs, not produced ad-hoc when a scheme asks for them.

These aren’t a footer afterthought. They’re the operating baseline that lets us be added to your approved supplier list without you having to vet us from scratch. If your procurement team needs the prequalification documentation, our standard pack is available on request and structured to drop straight into the most common procurement portals.

Procurement-ready documentation

Handover documentation

Documentation that arrives with each handover.

On a development, handover happens repeatedly. Plot 1 hands over, then plot 2, then plot 3, and so on across the scheme. Each handover needs its own documentation pack: cleaning sign-off forms, photographic evidence of the completed scope, certificates and method statements bundled into the standard handover paperwork.

By the time you get to plot 47, the documentation rhythm is established and nothing slips.

If the development requires specific reporting formats (a particular O&M structure, a developer-specified handover template, a buyer pack standard, anything bespoke), we work to those formats from day one rather than reformatting at the end of every plot.

Supply chain stability

A subcontractor that will still be there at plot 100.

Construction has the highest insolvency rate of any UK sector. The cleaning subcontractor that goes under mid-development doesn’t just create a cleaning problem. It creates a programme problem, a procurement problem, and a documentation problem all at once — and on a development, you’ve got the rest of the scheme still to deliver.

LG Cleaning is set up for the long term. The accreditations are current, the financials are sound, and the operational base supports the work the business is taking on.

You’re not buying a service that depends on a small operator surviving the next six months. You’re subcontracting to a contractor built around the standards the work requires, with the structure to stay the course.

─ Questions we get asked

Everything developers ask before they pick up the phone.

How quickly can you mobilise on a new development?

For most developments, we can have a team on site within two to three weeks of contract sign-off, sometimes faster if the programme requires it. The key is early conversation. The earlier we know about the development, the earlier we can lock in the team, brief them on the scheme, allocate equipment, and align with your build programme.

Yes. Site developments have busy phases and quieter ones, and the cleaning team needs to flex with that. We agree the indicative programme up front (how many plots active at peak, when peaks fall in the year) and structure the team accordingly. If the schedule shifts mid-programme, we adjust through the agreed change-control process rather than scrambling on the day.

Sequencing slips on every development. A plot held up for snagging, a buyer-led variation, a phase that pushed back two weeks. The site contact tracks the active plot list and re-prioritises the cleaning programme accordingly. The cleaning doesn’t hold up the build because we adapted to it; the build doesn’t hold up the cleaning because we knew about the change in time.

Cleaning sign-off form, photographic evidence of the completed scope, any compliance certificates relevant to that plot, and any bespoke documentation the development requires (developer-specific templates, buyer packs, O&M structure). Available in your preferred format from day one rather than reformatted at the end.

Yes. We can run cleaning programmes across multiple developments for the same developer, or across separate developments for different developers, without compromising the standard on either. Each scheme gets its own named site contact. The operational structure is built for clients running multiple programmes in parallel.

We quote against the development documents (drawings, programme, plot mix, finish specification) rather than against a square-footage rate. Cleaning effort varies massively by plot type and finish, and a flat rate doesn’t price the work honestly. The quote breaks down by phase across the programme so you can see exactly what you’re paying for at each point.

Yes. Our operational base is in the North West but our active development work extends across the UK. The geography of the scheme doesn’t change the way we operate. Same accreditations, same standards, same contract structure wherever the development is.
