01 · The brief

Every room ready before the new residents arrived.

A Coventry student residence needed its accommodation deep cleaned over the summer, so that rooms, kitchens and shared areas were ready for incoming residents.

  • En-suite rooms: showers, trays, WCs, sinks and floors
  • Bedrooms and studios made move-in ready
  • Shared kitchens, including hobs, cupboards and fridges
  • Shared toilets, shared showers and hallways
02 · Our approach

A dedicated team, structured for scale.

We resourced the programme as a single project with clear lines of responsibility, so standards held from the first block to the last.

10+

03 · How we managed it

Logged, checked and reported, area by area.

  • Block-by-block completion register: every room and shared area recorded with its floor, area type, cleaning type and the cleaners allocated.
  • Quality sign-off per area: each area received a QC check before it was marked complete.
  • Exceptions logged and reported: anything that stopped a clean was recorded and passed to the client. For example, an area found unsafe because of an infestation was flagged for specialist treatment, with a return visit offered.
  • Programme tracking: cleans dated from 17 August to 8 September 2026, across 30+ blocks.
