Cleaning Services
DBS checked, ISO certified cleaning for schools, academies, colleges and nurseries across South East England. Safe, reliable, and built around your timetable.
Why it matters
Schools need more than a standard clean
Schools are high-traffic environments where hygiene directly affects pupil health, attendance, and wellbeing. A poorly maintained school — dirty washrooms, dusty classrooms, unhygienic kitchens — creates a poor learning environment and can contribute to the spread of illness.
For schools, the requirements go beyond a standard commercial clean. Staff must be DBS checked. Products must be safe for use around children. Cleaning must be scheduled around the school day. And the company must be able to demonstrate its quality and safety credentials to governors, local authorities, and Ofsted.
CQD has been cleaning schools across South East England since 2012. Our triple ISO certification, DBS checked staff, and documented cleaning processes give schools the assurance they need — and the standard their pupils deserve.

School cleaning — frequently asked questions
Are your school cleaning staff DBS checked?
Yes. Every member of our cleaning team holds a current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. This is a non-negotiable requirement for all CQD staff working in schools, nurseries, and educational settings.
When do you clean — during school hours or after?
Most school cleaning is carried out after school hours or early in the morning before pupils arrive. We work around your timetable to ensure cleaning never disrupts lessons or school activities.
Do you clean nurseries and early years settings?
Yes. We clean nurseries, pre-schools, and early years settings. Our teams understand the higher hygiene standards required in early years environments and use appropriate, safe cleaning products.
What areas of a school do you clean?
We clean all areas of school premises — classrooms, corridors, washrooms, staff rooms, kitchens, sports halls, reception areas, and outdoor hard surfaces. We can also carry out periodic deep cleans during school holidays.
Are you ISO certified for school cleaning?
Yes. CQD holds ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and ISO 45001 (health and safety) certifications — all independently audited. These are the standards that local authorities and academy trusts expect from a cleaning contractor.
