Compliance & accreditations
Anyone can say they're insured, trained, and compliant. What actually matters is whether that's true, whether it's current, and whether it's available the moment someone asks for it. Everything listed here is real documentation, held on file, and available to clients, universities, and procurement teams on request.
Policies & procedures
Written, reviewed and briefed to every team member, from a single office clean to a 500-room summer turnaround.
Our Health & Safety Policy governs how every job gets carried out, from a single office clean to a 500-room summer turnaround. It covers safe manual handling, correct use of equipment, working at height, and the specific hazards of every site type we work on, from a domestic kitchen to an industrial floor. Every team member is briefed on it before they're briefed on anything else.
Available on requestA formal, written commitment to how we conduct business: no facilitation payments, no conflicts of interest left unmanaged, no shortcuts taken to win or keep a contract. It applies to every level of the business, not just client-facing staff, and it's reviewed rather than filed away and forgotten.
Available on requestRisk Assessment and Method Statements are prepared for every site before work begins, not drafted afterward to satisfy an audit. Each one is specific to the actual site, not a generic template: a student accommodation turnaround has different risks to a commercial kitchen deep clean, and our RAMS reflect that difference.
Available on requestFull public and employer's liability insurance is held on every contract, with certificates available for review at any time. Every member of staff working on a client site has passed a DBS check before their first day, not after. For sectors like education and healthcare where this matters most, we can confirm checks are current for the specific individuals attending site.
Available on requestQuality control isn't a single inspection at the end of a job. Our process includes spot checks during larger projects, structured audits on ongoing contracts, and a clear route for clients to flag anything that falls short, with a response that fixes the issue rather than simply logging it.
Available on requestOur approach to sustainability is deliberately unglamorous: reduced plastic packaging, correctly dosed chemicals rather than over-application, and cleaning routes planned to cut unnecessary mileage between sites. Small, consistent choices rather than a single initiative announced once and forgotten.

Modern Slavery Statement
Britain Cleaning Solutions is not required to publish a statutory Modern Slavery Statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, since turnover currently sits well below the £36 million threshold that triggers that legal duty. We publish this statement voluntarily, because clients and procurement teams increasingly expect it regardless of company size, and because it reflects how we already operate day to day.
Every member of staff has their right to work in the UK verified before their first day, alongside their DBS check. No recruitment fees are ever charged to staff or passed on through a third party. Anyone with a concern about how a colleague, subcontractor, or supplier is being treated has a clear, confidential route to raise it, and every report is followed up. As our supplier base grows, the same expectations will apply to anyone we bring in to support a contract.
Tender & procurement readiness
Working with public sector organisations and larger businesses means procurement teams who need more than a quote. They need evidence, references, and documentation packaged in a way that fits their process, not ours.
FAQ
Yes. Every member of staff working on a client site is DBS-checked, and every job is covered by full public and employer's liability insurance. See our Compliance & Accreditations page for the full detail.
