When to look for an office cleaning contract
- Staff are emptying bins and wiping the kitchen themselves
- Washrooms run short of supplies before the end of the week
- Visitors see dusty reception desks and smeared glass doors
- The current cleaner is leaving or the contract is up for renewal
- The team has moved into a new or larger office
Office cleaning in Cardiff's multi-tenant buildings
In the multi-storey buildings around Callaghan Square and Central Square, the landlord usually arranges cleaning of the common parts and each tenant arranges its own floor. Tell us where that line sits, including any washrooms shared with another tenant.
On large open-plan floors, desk layouts, any clear-desk policy and the position of confidential waste bins are agreed before the first clean. Soap, paper towel and toilet roll levels in shared washrooms are checked on each visit.

Offices at Caspian Point and along Lloyd George Avenue sign contractors in at reception, so give us the name of the person who arranges building passes. Wind off the water carries grit and salt onto entrance floors and glass doors.
In a single-occupier building, one visit covers reception, meeting rooms, kitchens and washrooms, with keys and alarm codes agreed at the start. Say whether smoking shelters, bike stores or bin stores are included.
Residents' permit zones near the centre run until 10pm. Tell us if the building has a loading bay, a car park space for a cleaner's vehicle or a pay car park nearby.

Setting up an office cleaning contract
- Map the areas
A floor plan shows where each area starts and ends, including shared parts the landlord cleans.
- Set the frequencies
Each task gets a frequency, from washrooms on each visit to high-level dusting once a month.
- Name a contact
One person on your side passes on changes when teams grow, desks move or a room changes use.

Office cleaning in Cardiff: questions
Can the common areas of a multi-tenant building be cleaned?
Common parts can be cleaned when the landlord or managing agent asks for it. Tenants normally arrange cleaning only inside their own floor or suite.
How do the Welsh recycling rules affect office cleaning in Cardiff?
Offices have to keep paper and card, glass, and metal, plastic and cartons separate under the workplace recycling regulations in force since April 2024. Desk and kitchen bins are emptied into the matching containers, so tell us how yours are labelled.
How much does office cleaning in Cardiff cost?
The floor area, desk numbers, washrooms and kitchens set most of it, along with how often you want cleaning and any limits on hours.
