Holiday and absence cover cleaning for South West London offices
Your usual cleaner is on holiday, off sick, or has let you down, and you are the one who hears about it if the office looks it. We put a vetted, uniformed team into your building at short notice, cleaning to your standard, for a one-off, a couple of weeks, or as long as you need.
Request cover
Tell us the gap and we will call you back the same working day. Fields marked * are all we need.
Thanks, your cover request is with us.
We will call you back the same working day.
We cover the gap, fast
You did not plan for this, and it still has to be sorted. These are the gaps we cover most:
Your cleaner is on holiday
Keep the same standard running while they are away, with no drop your staff or visitors will notice.
Someone is off sick
Ring us in the morning and we will do what we can to get cover in place, quickly.
A seasonal peak
Extra hands over Christmas, the summer or a busy period or event, then back to normal.
You have been let down
A contractor stopped turning up, and you need someone reliable in the building now.
A proper cover team, not whoever is free
The risk with last-minute cover is that you get an anonymous fill-in with no idea of your building, your security or your standard. The team we send is the same calibre we put on a permanent contract.
From gap to covered, fast
Three quick steps, and we aim to confirm the same working day.
Cover that fits the gap, not a long tie-in
You are not signing up for a long contract to get help this week.
A one-off visit
To get you through a single day or an event.
Short-term cover
A week or two while your regular cleaner is away.
Ongoing cover
For a longer or open-ended gap, no fixed end date.
Roll into permanent
Keep us on as your regular contract if you would rather. No pressure.
Tell us where you are and when. We will do the rest.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you start cover?
Often within a day or two, and sometimes the same day for an urgent gap, depending on your location and what the clean involves. Call us on 020 3750 8873 and we will tell you honestly what we can do and when, rather than promising a time we cannot hit.
Our regular cleaner is off sick tomorrow, can you help?
Very often, yes. Ring us as early as you can and we will do everything we can to get a vetted team to you quickly. The more notice you can give, the better, but short-notice cover is exactly what this service is for, so it is always worth the call.
Do we have to sign a long contract to get cover?
No. Cover is meant to fit the gap, so it can be a single visit, a week or two, or ongoing, with no long tie-in. If you later decide you would rather we kept the contract permanently, we can do that, but there is no obligation and no pressure.
Are your cover cleaners vetted and insured?
Yes. Cover is done by vetted, DBS-checked, uniformed Opti Clean operatives, not anonymous agency fill-ins, and Opti Clean is fully insured. We work to the procedures and practices of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SafeContractor, CHAS and BICSc while we pursue certification, and supply method statements and RAMS before we start.
Will the cover team clean to our existing standard?
Yes. Before the first visit we take your spec, your access and your security arrangements, so the team works to how your building is normally cleaned rather than guessing. Where you want it, Opti Connect gives you a photo report and checklist for each visit so you can see the standard held.
How much does cover cleaning cost?
Cover is priced per site, not from a fixed rate card, because it depends on your office size, the spec, the hours and how long you need us. We give you a clear price up front, usually the same working day, with no padding and no surprise add-ons.
Can holiday cover turn into a permanent contract?
Yes, and it often does. If the cover works well and you would rather stop worrying about it, we can roll it straight into a regular daily office cleaning contract with the same standard and the same accountable point of contact. Entirely your call, with no pressure.
Got a gap to cover? Let’s sort it.
Tell us where you are and when you need us, and we will come back the same working day with a clear price and a vetted team ready to go.
