A different approach to cleaning

Today, more than ever, organisations need to make a great impression, with a clean, attractive environment. Everything we do is designed to help our cleaners focus on their performance. We think the difference is clear.

The JR&Co difference

Professionally cleaned office communal area

Our founders, Dominic and Andy, started commercial cleaning work in 1990. They were soon dissatisfied with the industry’s low quality standards and exploitative approach. In 1994, they set up JR&Co to bring more care and attention to commercial cleaning.

Most cleaning contracts seem designed to deliver substandard cleaning. Staff are often poorly trained and supervised – and treated even worse. Where management information systems exist, they’re normally a low-tech afterthought.

At JR&Co we take a different approach – we prioritise careful cleaning.

Because we only clean premises in London, our people and resources are always close at hand for you. You’ll have a designated operations manager – and we’ll never let them get stretched too thinly. They always have enough time and space to manage our cleaners and respond to your needs.

If we take over your contract we won’t always bring in new people, but we do bring in new motivation. Everything we do encourages our cleaners to give your work their undivided attention – because full attention makes every hour worth more.

We ensure they’re properly trained and have the right tools for the job. We reward them fairly, and offer them stable shifts that make their working days predictable. We recognise their efforts and help them develop. We don’t increase pressure: we increase pride.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

People at our heart

Our service is only as good as our people. We give them regular training, pay them fairly and support them, both in and out of work – because when they want to work for us, they want to work for you.

Technology at our back

Even the best cleaners are only effective with the right technology and systems. We give our people high-quality equipment and materials, including new technology like cobotics.

Transparency icon

Transparency everywhere

Our services are driven by clear communication. Our clients have regular contact with our frontline workers and managers. We’ve made substantial technology investments to ensure everyone understands our performance, from e-auditing to regular reporting.

Staying fresh for 30 years

Since we started cleaning, the world has changed – and so has the technology we use. But our principles of care haven’t. We still prioritise caring for our people, our clients and our quality of service.
