A town that runs on offices, shops and warehouses
Dartford sits right on the doorstep of London, with the Dartford Crossing carrying traffic across the Thames and fast rail links into the city. That position has filled the borough with businesses of every size. Glass fronted offices on Crossways Business Park, retail units around Bluewater, trade counters and depots near the A2 and the M25, and a busy town centre full of shops, cafes, surgeries and professional practices. Every one of those buildings needs cleaning, and most of them need it done properly, on time, week after week.
We are Kent Cleaning Solutions, a family run commercial cleaning company based at the Innovation Centre in Chatham. Dartford is one of the busiest parts of north Kent we cover.
Where we clean in Dartford
Crossways Business Park
Office buildings with receptions, meeting rooms, kitchens and washrooms that are used hard all day. We clean before your staff arrive or after they leave, and we hold keys and alarm codes for office customers. See our office cleaning page for what that covers.
The town centre
Shops, banks, opticians, dentists and small offices above the high street. Shop floors, fitting rooms, counters and staff areas are cleaned outside trading hours so your customers never trip over a mop bucket.
Industrial and trade units
Warehouses, depots and light industrial units around the edges of town need their offices, welfare areas, toilets and canteens kept in order. Our warehouse cleaning is built around shift patterns.
Healthcare and schools
Surgeries need bactericides that kill MRSA. Schools need cleaners with enhanced DBS checks. We provide both, and our cleaners are trained in house for each setting.
Why Dartford businesses change cleaners
The story is nearly always the same. A cleaner starts well, then the hours slip, the toilets get a quick wipe instead of a proper clean, and nobody turns up when the regular person is on holiday. In a fast moving town like Dartford, a business cannot afford to look tired. Clients and customers walk in expecting a professional building.
We fix that with structure rather than promises. Every building gets a written cleaning schedule. A supervisor is on site for the first clean. After that, our supervisors carry out regular inspections and a comments book stays on site so you can leave a note any time. Sickness and holidays are covered by us, not by you.
Our cleaners are our own employees, vetted by us, in uniform and bound by a signed confidentiality agreement. We never use agency staff or subcontractors, so the person in your building is someone we know and trust.
Fitting around the way you work
An office on a business park keeps different hours to a shop in the town centre or a unit that runs two shifts. We clean early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends and agree the times with you before we start. Contracts start from four hours a week, so a small practice gets the same care as a large office floor. Regular contract customers can also add window cleaning.
Dartford questions answered
Do you only cover the town itself?
No. We work across the whole borough, including the villages to the south such as Longfield, and over the border into Gravesend and Swanley.
Can you take over from our existing cleaning company?
Yes. We have experience of TUPE transfers and will handle the move properly, so your current cleaner and your building are looked after.
What happens if a clean is missed?
It should not happen, because we cover every absence ourselves. If something is not right, write it in the comments book and it gets dealt with.
Is your work insured and risk assessed?
We are fully insured and carry out a risk assessment of your premises in line with HSE guidance before the first clean.
