The Christmas Silly Season is coming!

The summer holidays are not even over and yet thoughts are already turning to Christmas with cards & decorations on sale in some shops and many others due to follow as we move into September. 

It’s certainly on the minds of bars, restaurants, hotels and other potential party venues as the run up to Christmas triggers the all important festive party season.  Many are already promoting their Christmas party offerings, lunch menus for the big day and celebrations planned for New Year, and, a large number will already have healthy bookings lined up.

The standards required for cleaning in the food and entertainment industry are always high, however, this time of year with worsening weather & increased footfall, together with the potential for additional spillages & breakages caused by large amounts of alcohol, add an additional pressure on the businesses to keep their reception areas and functions rooms looking good.

During the next few months whilst the planning for the party season gets well underway and they plan their menus, book the entertainment and work out additional staffing requirements it is advisable that they also carefully review their cleaning arrangements for the period.

Do they need additional cleaning staff or rotas to cater for the increased use of their function rooms?  Should they increase the frequency of some of the less regular cleaning services such as carpet cleaning? Will their cleaning company be able to provide adequate staff over the holiday season to ensure that they can continue to provide a great environment for their guests?

As with all elements of their planning they need to consider these questions sooner rather than later, discuss them with their cleaning company and make the necessary arrangements.  If they don’t feel their current cleaning arrangements can meet their increased requirements then now is the time to find an alternate supplier.

At Clockwork Cleaning Services we offer a specialised cleaning service to bars, restaurants and hotels as we understand the importance of maintaining that first impression to guests.  We tailor our cleaning services to meet the needs of the business and can offer flexible timings to fit around the opening hours of the business or so as not to inconvenience guests. 

Whether you are looking for a company to provide regular cleaning services, additional cleaning cover for the holiday season or even to complete a one off clean before or after the festive season we can tailor a service to meet your needs.

Call Clockwork Cleaning Services today on 0800 0407 366 for more info required.

Cleaners sent to Coventry!

Its true! Our cleaners are regularly sent to Coventry! But not in a bad way - we're now available to provide commercial cleaners in Coventry (the actual city!).

Some interesting facts about Coventry:

The first ever English bicycle was built in Coventry - way back in 1870 - about the time cleaning really took off (maybe it was easier for cleaners to set up in business without having to buy a horse and cart?!)

On the 14th June 1940 Coventry's Cathedral (also known as St Michaels Cathedral) was destroyed by enemy bombing. It was the only English city to lose a cathedral during the Second World War.  It was never rebuilt, just cleaned up and a new Cathedral was added to the bombed shell.

You might not realise but Coventry is the ninth largest city in England, and eleventh largest in Britain.

The city lies further from the coast than any other British city.

Coventry is twinned with 28 cities around the world. The first city it twinned with was Stalingrad during World War 2.

Coventry is older than Birmingham and Leicester. Locals started moving in to likely clean up the area during the Bronze Age.

 The city was one of the first in the world to have a pedestranised shopping area back in the sixties

The term being "sent to Coventry" means "to be ostracised" and likely comes from the English Civil War when Royalist prisoners were held in the city and were not spoken to for the whole duration of their captivity.

The Cathedral's spire is said to be the 3rd highest in the UK, due to its design it managed to survive the bombing during 1940.


As you can see Coventry has much to offer visitors especially from an historic viewpoint! If you know anyone that needs cleaning services in Coventry or across Warwickshire then feel free to point them here.
