About The Clean Network

We’re all about cleaning that does more

Work with us

Our story, our values, our people

Today we’re the trusted choice of 500+ offices daily across London.

The Clean Network started life as a small, family-owned and run business. Since then we’ve significantly expanded our team, our services and our client base, but our core philosophy is still simple – every client is unique and important. Our goal is to help drive our clients’ future success, so we believe in building strong, long-lasting

relationships by providing consistently high-quality cleaning services and instilling trust through our actions. This means we do more than just clean – we care for your workplace as if it’s our own and work in partnership with you to enhance your people’s wellbeing, promoting a more motivated and productive workforce and boosting your corporate image.

Our story began in 1946 when William, a returning war veteran, started a window-cleaning round.

Decades of hard work saw it grow into a thriving, highly respected regional cleaning business. In 2009 we expanded into office cleaning for London. We continue  to uphold William’s commitment to offering secure full-time employment, which enables our people to develop and our business to deliver consistently high-quality service.

Our values inform everything we do

At The Clean Network we are committed to continually refining our office cleaning services to meet the evolving needs of London’s businesses – and go beyond their expectations. We have spent years developing robust and forward-thinking processes and policies, but we’re always working to enhance them.
We strive to strengthen our Quality Management system by proactively monitoring how we perform our cleaning services, so we can spot and rapidly close any gaps between our delivery and our clients’ needs.
And it’s our belief that a truly responsible office cleaning service must have clear objectives around sustainability. We’re enthusiastic about partnering with businesses that share our values and want a tailored office cleaning service that offers meticulous attention to detail while carefully considering its environmental and social impact.

Charlie thrives on challenging the status quo. As a business leader, he is focused both on keeping promises but also raising the bar through innovation. He also likes to continually push his limits beyond the office – as a keen runner, he recently completed seven marathons in seven days.

"I'm really proud of what we've achieved at The Clean Network,

but it’s such a rush when a client feeds back positively or sparks an idea about how we can progress what we do even further.”
