The pressures of operating buses and trains
means these surfaces suffer greatly over time.
Unless you’re fastidious about the interior
cleaning on a daily basis build ups can and do
occur. As the weeks & months roll by hidden
grime, wrappers, dust and junk can just pile up.
Unfortunately there is just not enough time
during the daily and weekly service cycles to do
all you need to do to keep your fleet in top
condition and maintaining specialist equipment
which will only be used periodically does not
make commercial sense.
You’re in-house or contract staff know how to
prepare your fleet so it meets the requirements
of your daily service commitments but trying to
get the same attention to detail on a periodic
basis is difficult.
Fleet
Valet
Keeping you fleet clean has many benefits:
· Retains the value of your asset
· Portrays the image you want to your clients
· Improves your Mystery Traveller surveys
· Reduces customer complaints
· Extends the life time of your surfaces by at
least double
· Reduces insurance claims for clothes soiling
· Prevents opportunities for bug infestation
· Restores faded fabrics
· Reduces those “strange” odours that masking
will just not address
· Gives the asset a new, fresh appearance
A clean fleet is also treated better by the travelling
public which is a proven fact. Using the intelligent
approach we can provide a planned valet project for
your fleet that will return it to its former glory – In
additional to the valet we can then also protect the
surfaces so they will stay cleaner for longer and will
be easier to clean on a daily basis.
Our vast experience across all forms of
transport has given us industry leading skills to
be able to deliver the project whilst causing no
disruption to your current operation – We
provide all the manpower and equipment to
get the job done and our proven
environmentally aware products allow us to
treat any surface without detriment to the
substrate.
Not only will having a clean fleet be beneficial
to your image it also generates increased
revenue due to the increase in patronage as
one of the main reasons cited by the travelling
public against transport is the general
impression that they are dirty – Promoting
your standard of cleanliness and the steps to
take to maintain standards can change
passenger perception and can help to regain or
gain tendered services or operating bonuses.
Our dedicated Valet teams know what it takes
to make things right and are focused on the
overall excellence in your fleet’s appearance.
Clients have used our services as part of a
midlife refurbishment programme, Annual
Maintenance or just before lease periods
expire.
Fleet
Valet
We can provide valet services for single elements
(flooring, seating etc.) or for all the internal
surfaces. By providing these services at fixed costs
the fleet manager doesn’t need to worry about
the high costs or headaches of unplanned
maintenance cleaning.
Speak to us to see how we can help you maintain
your fleet – Intelligently!
Your fleet reflects your company and sometimes
what you can’t see has a bigger impact on what
you can. Passenger perception is a key hurdle for
all operators to cross and the increased
awareness and risk of been personally affected
by the surfaces passengers come in contact can
lead to them choosing alternative means.
Cleaning regimes address the visible but the
invisible is what threatens people most. All know
about the value of good hygiene yet few seem
to live by this creed.
Your fleet can suffer from the effects by
harbouring pathogens and other undesirables
and this can have a direct impact on your
revenue and bottom line.
Certified
Sanitisation
To address this Intelligent have developed a fleet
sanitisation programme that gives you the choice of
the latest proven treatments to periodically sanitise
the whole of your fleet.
The benefits of our treatments include:
· Reduction of stale odours
· Removal of all hidden germs
· A safer environment for your passengers and
staff
We are the only company that offers you a range of
non-damaging, industry leading and clinically proven
treatments from all the leading global suppliers and
have designed our service to fit around the needs of
the operator with treatments taking place outside
operational hours.
Our unique services utilise the latest in electrostatic
spray equipment to deliver the most complete
coverage of every surface using the minimum
amount of product which ensures less wastage and
that vehicle downtime is kept to a minimum.
Once we sanitise your fleet we provide a
confirmation certificate that can be attached
wherever desired to clearly show your
commitment to excellence for all to see. The
service takes just minutes and your fleet is free
for operation almost immediately.
Treatments can provide instant kill and/or you
can have a residual treatment which, once
used, goes on working between treatments.
We provide the very low cost service either as
a one off or on a rolling project basis and all we
need is access and everything else is provided
by our self-contained units.
Not only can you enhance the passenger
quality but you also reduce your ligation
exposure as you will have a clear due diligence
trial for all to follow.
Our service is not only suitable for the standard
public transport format of Bus, Train & Plane
but is increasingly being used by taxi
companies & vehicle hire companies to
promote their commitment to excellence.
Certified
Sanitisation
One of the key sectors is the cruise ship industry
and we can provide our complete service during
port time to significantly reduce the potential
cases of Norovirus etc. which leads to a lot of
negative press.

your fleet – Intelligently!
Moisture, Alkalinity and Dirt (MAD) can easily
cause glass, exterior or interior, to become
Problem Glass. Glass is a prominent part of the
many transport surfaces and it promises
visibility, clarity and cleanliness. Unless glass is
protected against MAD, it can easily break these
promises and lead to a low level of passenger
experience.
Problem Glass is any glass that has broken, or is
likely to break, its original promises of visibility,
clarity and cleanliness. This causes glass to
become increasingly difficult to clean and keep
clean – a high-maintenance material of
construction. In spite of frequent and intensive
cleaning, Problem Glass can easily lose its
original visibility and “sparkling” appearance.
ClearShield
Problem Glass can also fail to achieve standards for
light transmission that were met at the time of train
design. This has negative effects on vehicle
presentation/ambiance not to mention the effects
on structural glazing.
Problem Glass can be found in many places on
transport fleet and structures with one or more of
the aggressive trio of MAD is found present. The two
biggest enemies of glass are moisture and alkalinity.
Either individually or together, they can etch or
dissolve the surface of glass, making it appear dull
and sometimes white in appearance. Some dirt can
damage the surface, and further harm can be caused
in efforts to remove it.
Improved glazing appearance instantly improves the
overall appearance of fleet and structures and clear
shield ensures that the appearances is maintained
with a huge decrease in maintenance requirements.
Moisture can be in its liquid form, such as
rainfall, or as a vapour in high humidity areas.
Alkalinity comes from the fleet wash cycles as
well as the general operating environment.
Although Organic dirt does not normally attack
glass it can attach firmly to the surface and be
difficult to remove. For exterior glass, this
includes traffic film, bird droppings and grease.
For interior glass, organic dirt includes finger
marks and head marks.
Inorganic dirt bonds chemically to glass and is
difficult, if not impossible, to remove using
conventional cleaning methods.
Inorganic dirt on exterior glass includes sea
spray, industrial emissions, metal oxides from
the braking systems etc. For interior glass
consecutive tears of chemical based cleaning
agents can begin to take their toll.
For more than 30 years, Clear Shield has been
developed and supplied innovative and cost-
effective solutions for Problem Glass.
ClearShield
These solutions will provide the cure for the glass
and provide an increased passenger perception
not to mention the reduction in current cleaning
productivity.
We are approved and certificated applicators of
the clear shield system with a particular emphasis
on transport systems – Real world trials have
shown how effective the system is when
embraced with a clear ROI being achieved.

and protect all of your glazing – Intelligently!
Many transport environments suffer from build
ups over time – From engineering areas to
offices, bus Stops to train stations the heavy
footfall and exposure to the environment takes
its toll.
With over 3 decades of experience in providing
services to the transport industry Intelligent
have created surface restoration solutions for all
environments.
Through the use of Power Washing, next
generation soft washing or the application of
Nano based surface protection treatments we
have answers for all problems.
Surface
Restoration
By using our unique industry working experience our
systems are tailored to work around the operational
needs as opposed to interfere with them and we
know how to work within our client’s requirements.
We provide single or on-going restoration projects
which have included:
· Engineering bay/workshop degreasing
· Out station/bus stop cleaning
· Platform Chewing Gum Removal
· External Algae control
· Internal mould remediation
· Hard Surface deep cleansing (internal &
External)
· Sanitary area restoration
Current practices sometimes only deal with the daily
aspects and the requirement for specialist
equipment/skills is at times beyond the reach of the
current resources be they internal or external.
Completed on a fixed price basis, budget
controls has never been simpler and clients can
focus on the areas that cause them the most
concern and/or can return the most for their
investment.
Having a robust programme in place maintains
and extends the lifespan of substrates making
a clear value justification and by being able to
clearly demonstrate the actions taken ensure
that clients “duty of care” towards employees
and customers is very clear leading to
complete compliance with all types of
legislation.
Sometimes there are projects that need
alternative methods to be used and the
industry renowned flexibility of the Intelligent
service provision allows for all these
alternatives to be provided under the one
umbrella
Our experience has shown what works in each
environment and we have always risen to
whatever challenge is placed before us –
Regardless of how obscure the requirement
can be! Plant & premises can be some of the
most revenue hungry aspects of transport so
investing in preventing these areas becoming
problems has clear financial benefits.
Surface
Restoration
We are committed to using the most sustainable
and effective methods possible with an increasing
amount of solutions being 100% organic.
We take an active part in our world to reduce
negative environmental impacts caused by
outdated inefficient practices.

all of your surfaces – Intelligently!
The transport industry invests millions each year
on assets and maintaining their fleet. When
purchased these purchases can begin to
deteriorate in appearance and in turn devalue
due to the nature of the operational
environment.
Coating the visible surfaces with Nanoclear is
one very positive way to help with this
demoralising issue and give longevity to the
surfaces which suffer from fading, staining,
corroding and tarnishing.
Nanoclear covers and protects nearly all of the
components in your fleet and infrastructure to
give less cleaning, better impact resistance,
much better solvent resistance and life
expectancy that no other clear coat can hope
for.
Nanoclear
Using Nanoclear we can restore and protect surfaces
such as:
· Fleet Paintwork & Bright work
· Alloy Wheels
· Signage
· Stainless steel
· Plastics
The proven coatings protect against all the harsh
environments including road film, fertilisers, acids,
bird droppings and salts just to name a few.
Nanoclear will rejuvenate highly oxidized surfaces to
restore colour, gloss and UV properties. Nanoclear
will protect almost any surface to give longevity,
easy to clean, long lasting surface properties and is
proven to revive and protect fibreglass, paint,
plastics, vinyl, stainless steel, aluminium and much
more.
The treatment provides extreme weathering
resistance, high scratch resistance, and innovative
self cleaning properties as well as being chemical
and solvent proof for easy maintenance which
covers every aspect of transport, automotive,
architecture and marine surfaces.
Laboratory tests prove that treatments require
60% less cleaning, have 75% better impact
resistance, 476% better solvent resistance, and
45% better abrasion resistance than even the
closest clear coat competitors.
Using Nanoclear technology in the transport
market has proven to have huge benefits and
to far exceed expectations in every sector of
vehicles, rolling stock, commercial property
and more. Our nanotechnology based coatings
restore original gloss, surface hardness and UV
resistance to highly oxidized paint, gel coat and
fibreglass surfaces which is idea for on street
facilities such as bus stops.
Nanoclear coatings penetrate deep into the
smallest pores within newly painted or highly
oxidized paint surfaces to form a highly cross-
linked hard coat surface.
Nanoclear coatings provide dramatically longer
surface protection over conventional
automotive, marine, aerospace and industrial
paints including epoxies and polyurethanes.
Nanoclear coatings prevent UV degradation of
the substrate by absorbing harmful UV rays.
Nanoclear
Nanoclear coatings are only available for
application from Intelligent for the whole of the
UK & Ireland under an on-going exclusive
arrangement – The coatings are manufactured to
give properties that far exceed OEM specification
and have been used extensively by the Canadian
rail freight industry and US Navy as well as many
others.

can Intelligently do for you!
Vinyl based flooring in all its formats has proven
to be one of the most flexible but difficult areas
to maintain to a consistent acceptable standard
due to the properties of the flooring. Applying
layers of polish can briefly enhance the surface
and reduce maintenance time but is short lived
and can increase the risk of slips and trips.
There is an answer and that answer is the
patented revolutionary WEARMAX© coating.
This new and unique ceramic coating system is
suitable for vinyl, linoleum, synthetic and natural
rubber and gives your flooring the properties
desired. Key benefits include:
· Guaranteed for a minimum of 5 years on
building interiors
· Totally restores existing flooring
· Increased slip resistance
· UV fading and chemical resistant
· Reduces daily maintenance by a minimum
of 50%
· No additional treatment needed
· Can be maintained with mechanical floor
scrubbers
WearMax
WEARMAX© is a multiple Coat-System.
WEARMAX© Primer (Base Coat) is specially
formulated to generate adhesion on the substrates
mentioned.
The primer contains ceramics and provides the
actual main wear-layer. The ceramic used in
WEARMAX© performs with a hardness of 9.2 – 9.4
(natural diamond = 10).
The entire system is formulated to allow the
individual ceramic particles to protrude through the
final surface, generating a smooth to touch but
extremely hard and enduring protection against
daily wear and tear.
Due to the dense and even particle distribution
across the entire surface excellent protection of the
coated surface is achieved as well as excellent
traction due to the fine roughness generated by the
exposed ceramic particles.
Excellent traction is provided even on damp
and/or wet surfaces. WEARMAX© allows
you to reduce the cost of daily floor care and
maintenance with savings in labour and
cleaning materials whilst deliver a consistent
high level of appearance that is second to
none.
WEARMAX© will increase the life span of
any floor substrate to levels previously
unknown!
The long-lasting clean appearance of your
floors coated with the WEARMAX® System
will improve the image of your company and
assets.
WEARMAX© treatments can be beneficial in
every area of a business – From the floors on
your canteeen to the floors in your
executive bathrooms.
The principle is simple: the larger the coated
surface area, the higher the potential
savings. However, significant savings can be
made even in small areas!
WearMax
The top coat can be Matt, Satin or Gloss finish and
gives the protection against dirt and soils. This
product performs with excellent resistance against
diluted acids and alkaline substances. The coating
can only be applied by a certified WEARMAX© Team
Partner and Intelligent are the exclusive team
partners in the UK & Ireland

Intelligently do for you!
Stone protection is the application of a surface
treatment to surfaces constructed of stone to
reduce staining and corrosion. All stone is riddled
with interconnected channels that permit
penetration by liquids and gases. These channels
act like a sponge and draw in liquids over time,
along with any dissolved salts etc.
Very porous stone, such as sandstone absorbs
liquids relatively quickly, while denser igneous
stones such as granite are significantly less
porous; they absorb smaller volumes, and more
slowly.
When surfaces become porous they allow
rainwater penetration, causing a number of
problems. These issues occur when the water
soaks into the stone, as minerals and salt are
drawn to the surface which are then deposited as
white efflorescence on the stone surface.
Stone
Protection
Grime and dirt can then also penetrate the surface,
making the surface increasingly harder to keep
clean. Heat loss through walls and deposits of
internal damp can also increase as this takes place.
The longevity and usefulness of stone can be
extended by sealing its surface effectively, so as to
exclude harmful liquids and gases. The ancient
Romans often used olive oil to seal their stone.
Such treatment provided some protection by
excluding water and other weathering agents, but it
stained the stone permanently.
Staining is the most common form of damage
found on stone surfaces. It is the result of oils or
other liquids penetrating deeply into the channels
and depositing material that is effectively
impossible to remove without destroying the stone.
Salt Attack occurs when salts dissolved in water are
carried into the stone.
Salt attack is better known as Efflorescence
which is the formation of a gritty deposit,
commonly white, on the surface. Acid
erodes the stone, leaving dull marks on
polished surfaces. In time it may cause deep
pitting, eventually totally obliterating the
forms of statues, memorials and other
sculptures
Our coatings will protect stone from water
ingress, pollution, vegetation, algae and
staining keeping your surface looking like
new for years, saving you energy, time and
money.
The stone protection and waterproofing
performance coatings are water resistant,
colourless stone impregnation - up to 15mm
deep which will prevent the need for
continual cleaning, power washing and
painting. They are all breathable to prevent
the internal area becoming damp and
improves the thermal efficiency of stone and
masonry as the stone impregnation prevents
water ingress.
Stone
Protection
Coatings can be used as part of a flood protection
system for a building and are extremely abrasion
and frost resistant which are also highly effective as
a waterproofing membrane and reduces the growth
of micro-organisms, moulds, moss and algae
increasing hygiene on the surface.
One such product is Gum-stop which prevents gum,
dirt, grime, grease, oil and moss from adhering to
the surface of paving slabs, brickwork, granite,
marble and concrete. This innovative stain and
chewing gum repellent makes cleaning pavements
and paths an easier and more routine process. Even
a sweeper or man and broom will successfully
remove dropped gum.
Speak to us to see the stone protection that is
Intelligently right for you!
Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and
staining, low maintenance and familiar lustre
make it an ideal material for many applications.
There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of
which fifteen are most commonly used.
Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or
stain with water as ordinary steel does, but
despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most
notably under low-oxygen, high-salinity, or poor-
circulation environments.
Particularly corrosive conditions include:
· Sea water, or de-icing salt splashing, or
salt spray
· High industrial or urban pollution levels
· Hot, humid locations with salt or pollution
exposure and very low rainfall.
Stainless
Steel
There are different grades and surface finishes of
stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy
must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the
properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are
required. Stainless steel is used for buildings for
both practical and aesthetic reasons. In order to
maintain optimum appearance, the surface of
stainless steel must be cared for regularly.
Current practices include the use of oils on the
surface but these methods can lead to an increase
in dirt retention as well as the problems caused by
the transfer of the surface residue. This method
does nothing for protection of cleansing but just
gives a visibly shiny surface which is short lived.
Stainless Steel coatings are commercial non-stick
protective coatings that seals the surface, making
cleaning and maintenance easier. They are
completely invisible and do not change or alter the
appearance of the surface.
The coatings provide both hydrophobic and
oleophobic protection, reducing both
corrosion and staining that often forms in
most commercial environments.
Many acidic cleaners that are used to treat
the corrosion that develops on stainless
steel can accelerate and increase the return
rate. Our stainless steel coatings will
eliminate the need to use those cleaners,
and will dramatically slow the corrosion
process.
Similar to a non-stick fry pan, cleaning is
made easier using only water and a mild
detergent or with a microfiber cloth. The
superior protection also helps prevent the
build-up of mould and harmful bacteria,
promoting a germ free environment.
Stainless Steel Coatings can be applied to all
new or existing surfaces. Ideal applications
include: marine and public transport
surfaces, commercial kitchens, escalator
side panels. Passenger and goods lifts and
general fixtures
Stainless
Steel
Fingerprints, Streaks and general grime become
much easier to remove and cleaning and
maintenance times are reduced by up to 90% with
the surfaces only requiring a regular wipe over to
remove any grime build up. It keeps surfaces looking
brand new and removes the need for harsh
chemicals of other products. By helping to prevent
bacteria build up protected surfaces promote a germ
free environment.
Extensive testing has proven the coatings to be
highly durable. A 2-year limited warranty is provided
for application to both new and existing stainless
steel surfaces but the coatings can last up to 2 times
longer than this.

and protect your stainless steel surfaces!
Global organizations have invested billions to
protect valuable assets from corrosion, water
damage, scratching, chipping, chemical attack
and harmful UV rays.
Many of these assets were painted using inferior
materials not designed to withstand long-term
weathering.
Companies have various options when these
surfaces degrade from UV damage:
· Do nothing and allow the paint UV
degradation cycle to continue (reduced
corrosion, chemical and water resistance).
· Replace the existing paint system using
the same inferior conventional system
(epoxy, polyurethane or latex).
· Restore, enhance and extend the surface
life of new or highly oxidized paint by 10
years using Nano-Clear®.
Given the high cost of having repainted it makes
financial sense to restore the existing paint. UV
rays and salt can seriously fade the surface of
paint. Often the damage is only on the surface
and can be repaired.
Oxidised
Surfaces
Nanoclear® NCI-RC is the only industrial coating in
the global marketplace to enhance, restore and
extend the in-service life of highly oxidized surfaces
by 10 years. Nanoclear provides extreme corrosion
resistance, abrasion, chemical & UV resistance,
water repellency and reduced surface maintenance.
Nanoclear penetrates deep into the pores of newly
painted or highly oxidized paints, enhances colour,
improves gloss, increases surface hardness and
extends UV resistance.
Nanotechnology gives us the ability to
develop and alter materials at the
molecular level. Manufacturing at the
atomic level allows chemical
engineers to alter the physical
characteristics of parent material
atom-by-atom to create entirely new
substances.
Companies are currently
manufacturing revolutionary nano-
based materials including carbon
nanotubes, nano-polymers, nano-
glass and nano-ceramic.
Nanoclear Coatings are manufactured
using proprietary 3D nanostructured
polymers. These 3D nano-scale
networks form the polymer backbone
of all Nanoclear Coating Systems.
Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis
(DMTA) is utilized to calculate the
"crosslink density" of coating
polymers.
Oxidised
Surfaces
Nanoclear Coatings provide extreme crosslink density as
measured using DMTA, including remarkable surface
hardness, chemical resistance, extreme UV resistance and
high flexibility.
Interestingly enough, Nanoclear Coatings do not contain any
nanoparticles like many marketed nanocoatings. Rather, all
Nanoclear Coatings rely on crosslink density to exceed OEM
technical specifications.
Not only will the treatment restore your oxidised surface
back to its former glory but it then provides protection
guaranteed for up to 10 years
Speak to us to see how we can Intelligently restore your
oxidised surfaces!
An increasing amount of external surfaces are
becoming unsuitable for pressure washing either
due to the type of surface or location and many
clients also require the use of water/chemicals in
external maintenance to be kept at a minimum.
Self-finished silicone renders have become more
popular among architects as there are many good
reasons for this which includes architectural and
practical design.
Whether you’re a local authority with council
properties, A commercial building, a retail unit, a
school or even an historic property with
monuments and delicate brickwork, over time
your surfaces will develop general soiling as well
as bacterial and, under the right conditions, algal
growths. These areas can become unsightly and
hazardous to customers, staff and the public if
left untreated not to mention to potential
damage it causes to the surface substrate.
SoftWash
Our various softwash treatments is completed by
the use of our own designed high reach pole &
brush systems from ground for surfaces up to 10
metres or from access platforms for higher levels.
There are many benefits for this system which
include
• Cause no damage to surfaces
• Kill organic growth and inhibit Re-growth
• Removes carbon and other general
soiling build-ups
• Can be used on all surfaces including
Brick, Stone, Wood, Metal, Plaster etc.
• Increases the lifecycle of surfaces
• Creates surfaces where less dirt & grime
are retained
• General appearance stays cleaner for
longer
• Be completed without any major
disruption
• And all with a low environmental impact
Biofilms such as Algae etc. almost always
consist of mixtures of many species of bacteria,
as well as fungi, algae, yeasts and other micro-
organisms. If left untreated these can cause
severe deterioration on untreated surfaces not
to mention the unsightly, unkempt image it
creates which has a negative impact for the
building and all who use or see it.
Power washing actually drives the algae further
into the surface and spreads spores over a
wider area causing increased growth going
forward and, in the wrong hands, can cause
significant surface damage.
Our answers are to treat the surfaces with a
range of biodegradable solutions that will
penetrate all the soiling or cells of the algae
safely and quickly giving visible results in under
24 hours.
Softwash
The Algae problems have increased as urban
weed control has become better targeted and
more environmentally aware, particularly in areas
of non-residual weed control.
These problems are a concern as they can make
any surface extremely slippery. The problems are
most prevalent in autumn and spring when the
soiling and algae have ideal moisture and
temperature conditions.

can be beneficial to your surfaces – all done
Intelligently!

The aim of our advisory service is to assess the
current status of the in-house or contracted
services, identify positive & negative areas and
to instigate changes and monitoring procedures
that would allow for the service to be performed
to meet & exceed client expectations.
We also provide advice on solutions to new
problems or issues that are not being properly
addressed.
By contracting out this process the relevant
operation would be given new focus and the
current operations would be monitored
independently to give a true reflection of where
the operation currently stands.
By having a new emphasis on the operation staff
employed within this section would also have a
clear vision on the roles they play.
Advisory
Services
As a management based project this would give the
internal management team more time to focus on
other activities as the day to day operation of the
relevant service function would be controlled.
From a purely commercial stance the proposal is
based on performance level with charges only
occurring via the system savings that could be made
following the initial consultation period.
By being tasked to achieve the corporate goals
within the current budget constraints this will
ensure that the operation is performing to the
highest levels possible for an internal operation
whilst still embracing all the procedures and
practices embraced by the contracted out providers.
As an experienced service provider (particularly in
the field of public transport) we have the skills
required to deliver projects in the most efficient &
effective way possible and with our commercial
awareness the service ensures clients will also have
the most cost effective solutions possible.
As outsourced contracting develops
management teams with little (if any)
knowledge of facilities management are faced
with an increased responsibility in these areas.
The emphasis of our advisory service is always
to ensure best value and uncompromising
quality at every stage of the process.
Our services include:
· Defining cleaning
standards/specifications
· Create a tendering process
· Evaluation of tender submissions
· Mobilising new contracts
· Project management
· Support and guidance on problem
processes

Training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills,
and competencies as a result of the teaching of
vocational or practical skills. Training has specific
goals of improving one's capability, capacity,
productivity and performance. In addition to the
basic training required employees need to
maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout
their working life.
Too many managers view training as a luxury,
not a competitive and strategic necessity. In
today's business landscape, training is not just a
matter of survival; it's what separates high
performance organisations from the others.
Embracing new processes or practices requires
employee training.
Training is more than just building the skills and
knowledge of each individual of your team for
their own personal benefit.

The fundamental concept of a Total Quality
Management system (to measure the successful
delivery of a service) depends upon getting the
input right and monitoring the out. Conducting a
Cleaning Audit considers monitoring not only
cleaning standards but also those elements,
such as training and staffing that are essential
for successful delivery of any service. Only in this
way can problems be effectively rectified and,
ultimately, prevented.
The audit service is of benefit to all involved in
cleaning management, especially:
· Direct Labour Organisations.
· Hospital Domestic and Hotel Services
Managers.
· Hospital Estates Managers.
· Local Authority Cleaning Managers.
· Property Managers.
· Public Transport Operators
Audit

The service begins by monitoring the inputs which
involves areas such as: have sufficient hours been
allocated? Is there adequate site supervision? Is
there a proactive signing in and out procedure?
What level of sickness and absenteeism exists? What
is the level of staff turnover? Are staff receiving the
correct wage?
We also monitoring training & quality management
and audit the use and quality of equipment and
materials to ensure the correct equipment,
materials and processes are being used for the tasks
being completed which ensure value for money
delivery.
Once we have established the inputs we can then
monitoring the Outputs which allows us to define
the standards of performance be it hygienically
clean, prestige standard, normal standard and basic
standard. We can also determine the reasons for
failure during an inspection if present.
The mechanics of the audit are measured by
use of scoring systems with the weighting
levels set by area, or by task.
We can also include weighting by cost,
standard times to undertake certain tasks etc.
The process needed parameters such as how
many rooms will be visited or how many tasks
will be checked.
Audit visits can be random or a selective
sample from the entire site.
Pass rates are set based on what the client is
seeking & the auditor sufficiently qualified to
conduct the audit.
If using a team audit they will be consistent
with each other and the frequencies of how
often inspections will take place.
Audit
Services
Once the information is collated to agreed
parameters then we begin processing the results.
We investigate any reasons for failure to
determine if they are operative failure, materials
failure, equipment failure, failure of the fabric of
the structure, failure of the cleaning specification.
The analysing of the results will determine how to
act in correcting/preventing failures.
