Commercial Cleaning Ottery arranges free quotes across the industrial belt: factories and production floors, warehousing and distribution units, trade counters and hardware, workshops, and the retail and offices attached to them.
This is an industrial brief, not a commercial one. The work here is machine floor scrubbing, degreasing, racking, high-level dust removal and loading bay washing, and it is priced and equipped quite differently from office cleaning.
Tell us what the premises is, how big it is and how often it needs doing.

Indicative ranges, not a quotation. The number that matters on an industrial floor is whether the contractor owns a ride-on scrubber or hires one. Owned machinery means the job can run to a schedule at a per-square-metre rate. Hired machinery means a day rate plus hire, which on a large floor is usually the more expensive route.

Get 5 QuotesWhat Shapes Cleaning Work in Ottery
- Large open floors. Warehouse and production areas are measured in thousands of square metres. Manual mopping is not viable; the work is done with ride-on or walk-behind scrubbers, and the rate per square metre falls sharply as the area grows.
- Racking and aisle restrictions. Heavy racking means a walk-behind machine rather than a ride-on, more hand work at the uprights, and slower progress. Racked areas are commonly priced at roughly double the open-floor rate.
- Dust at high level. Roof steel, ducting, sprinkler pipework and light fittings accumulate dust that eventually drops onto stock and floors. It needs periodic removal with access equipment, and it is priced against the floor area below.
- Shift patterns and production downtime. Cleaning has to happen when the line is stopped. On single-shift sites that is straightforward; on continuous operations it means working around running plant, which changes both method and cost.
- Oil, product residue and drainage. Workshops and production floors generate residue that soaks into unsealed concrete. Degreasing plus sealing is the durable fix; repeated washing alone is not.

Sealing, Scrubbing and What Lasts
An unsealed concrete floor in an industrial unit is a permanent cleaning cost. It absorbs oil and product residue, it releases dust continuously, and no scrubbing cycle ever gets it clean for long. Sealing or densifying the slab is a one-off spend that cuts the ongoing cleaning burden and makes spills recoverable rather than permanent.
On the scrubbing itself, frequency beats intensity. A floor scrubbed weekly stays at a level a machine can hold. A floor left for months needs an initial clean at roughly double the normal rate before a routine can even start, and that initial clean is where most of the surprise cost on a first quote comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the first clean more expensive than the monthly rate?
Because a neglected industrial floor needs an initial clean before a routine can hold it. That is commonly quoted at roughly double the recurring rate per square metre, and it is a one-off. A quote without it usually means the contractor has not seen the floor.
Should we seal our warehouse floor?
If it is raw concrete, almost certainly. Unsealed slabs dust continuously and absorb oil permanently. Sealing is a one-off cost that reduces the cleaning requirement and makes spills recoverable.
How often does high-level dust removal need doing?
Once or twice a year in most warehousing, more often where there is production dust. The sign it is overdue is dust settling on stock or floors shortly after a scrub.
Can cleaning happen while production is running?
Some of it. Amenities, offices and walkways yes; machine surrounds and open floors generally need downtime. On a continuous operation the usual answer is a shift-based cleaner working around the line rather than a scheduled deep clean.
Does the contractor own the scrubber or hire it?
Worth asking directly. Owned machinery means the work can run to a schedule at a square metre rate. Hired machinery means a day rate plus hire charges, which on a large floor is usually the more expensive arrangement.
Do we need a separate contractor for the office side?
Not usually. Most industrial contractors cover attached offices, canteens and ablutions within the same agreement. Ask for it to be priced as a separate line so you can see both parts.
