Accreditation & Training

Quality, Safety and Consistency

When you invite a cleaning team into your premises, you need more than a good first impression, you need a supplier with proven systems. Our approach is built around clear processes, detailed checks and a strong health and safety culture.

From risk assessments and method statements to site-specific inductions, we plan each job properly so work runs smoothly and your building stays protected. It is how we maintain high standards across offices, schools, residential blocks and specialist external cleaning projects.

We are proud to hold recognised accreditations that support the way we operate, and we continuously review our processes to improve service delivery for every client.

Our Accreditations

Independent proof you can trust

Accreditations are not badges for the footer, they are frameworks that keep quality, safety and environmental responsibility consistent on every visit. They help ensure our teams work to agreed standards, follow best practice, and deliver a service that stands up to scrutiny.

Our ISO 9001 accreditation reflects our commitment to a structured quality management system. Our ISO 14001 environmental management certification demonstrates how we manage and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. Alongside this, ISO 45001 confirms that robust health and safety management systems are in place to protect our staff, clients and members of the public.

Together, these systems mean work is properly planned, risks are assessed, environmental considerations are taken into account, and service delivery is monitored to ensure consistent standards. If you manage a commercial building, you need contractors who can integrate with your site rules, reporting requirements and schedules. Our accreditations support that, and our team backs it up with professional, polite service on site.

We Invest in Training

A capable team on every job

Great results come from great people. We invest in training so our operatives understand the correct methods for different surfaces, equipment and environments, from routine office cleaning to specialist exterior systems.

We keep training practical and relevant: safe use of equipment, working at height awareness where required, site safety routines, and clear communication while working in live environments. This keeps standards high and disruption low.

It also means consistency. You get a cleaning contractor that turns up prepared, works safely, and leaves your premises looking its best every time.

I have used Ellemby since they started and had no problem in recommending their excellent window cleaning and commercial cleaning service. I would hate to have to use anyone else.

MRS GAYE RASENBERG

I have circulated Ellemby’s details as a recommended vendor on the Hertfordshire Association of Business Manager professionals and amongst other ESC Business Managers. I must say that we have been very impressed at the high standard of clean during the sessions under our contract over this past year. Really could not fault the service received.

Kirsten Beaven, Business Manager at DESC

We didn’t realise quite how dirty our windows had got until Ellemby had cleaned them and we received compliments on the building. They also jet washed the paving slabs at the front of the building which made a huge difference to the exterior. They were extremely professional with great communication throughout. I would fully recommend Ellemby to anyone looking for a supplier with a quality finish and great customer service.

TRAINING ADMIN MANAGER

Outstanding job! Many thanks to the staff who really worked very hard from start to finish.

MR STEVENS

Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ellemby Ltd.

MRS WOLSTENHOLME

I was looking for a window cleaning company who could undertake high rise window cleaning for a block of apartments. I was concerned they would not be able to reach the 4th storey and to be able to clean to a high standard at that height. Ellemby cleaned the windows using a pole cleaning system and I have to say I am very impressed with the results and will be using them regularly.

MR RAO

Slough Borough Housing Service have been using Ellemby Ltd for both window cleaning and general cleaning work for the past three years. I have always found Ellemby Ltd to be very professional in their work and very responsive to our requests.

FACILITIES & BUSINESS SUPPORT MANAGER

The Company was forthcoming with cost effective suggestions for alternative cleaning solutions that met and exceeded my business requirements.

Ellemby Ltd has held our Building Cleaning Contract since April 2006 to the present date. They have provided the Building Cleaning Contract with excellent support in the area of management, supervision, reliability, honesty, efficiency and meeting the cleaning standards outlined in the contract. We can confidently recommend Ellemby Ltd as a solid and reliable supplier, and experts in their field.

I would like to thank you very much for providing a thoroughly reliable and trouble-free cleaning service since your teams started coming to clean here in January 2003. It has been especially important to me to have a cleaning service with integrity as I have had to rely on your cleaners working to their own initiative on their own in the house. I can say that I have never had a moment’s cause for concern in any matters of reliability and honesty, furthermore your cleaners have always done a really thorough job.

MR W. PARKER

I have used Ellemby Ltd for almost 15 years now and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Both the cleaning & window cleaning service have always been to a high standard.

Mrs West

I asked Ellemby to give me a quote for jetwashing my driveway & patio and was a bit dubious about how it would clean up as I had used another company in the past who I wasn’t impressed with. Ellemby kindly offered to do a test on one of my paving slabs which I was happy with and asked them to clean it all. I have to say I am delighted with the outcome and the patio looks brand new. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.

MRS CLANCY

This is just to thank you for the very thorough job you did spring cleaning our house. Your staff were very courteous and hard working. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your company.

A. MITCHELL

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the team for an excellent service. I have used Ellemby for the past 5 years and have been extremely happy with their service. It’s a seamless process and I haven’t ever met with any of the team but have always found the windows exceptionally clean and no complaints from neighbours (which is always good when you live in a flat)! Since Ellemby allowed clients to pay online rather than via cheque it’s been an even easier relationship. I can’t fault them! We are due to move out of the area and I will be sorry to lose such a great service.

MRS HARRIS

Amazing results, as always. This is another outstanding piece of work, and the quality, attention to detail, and professionalism really show throughout.

Please pass on my sincere thanks and compliments to the entire team. Everyone involved should be proud of what they’ve achieved. Their hard work, expertise, and commitment are clearly reflected in the final result, and it’s genuinely appreciated. Thank you all for another excellent job!

I can confirm that that we have used Ellembys Window Cleaning services for a number of years and have always found that they are reliable. They have always taken feedback on board positively and strive to work in partnership with the Council to achieve the best outcome.They are very responsive and efficient and have always met the standards of the cleaning contract. I would be happy to recommend them for any future contracts.

I have always found the Company to be reliable and efficient in their business dealings and in their cleaning services. The staff the Company uses I have always found to be polite, friendly and helpful. During the time I have used Ellemby Ltd I have found that they are flexible in their approach to meet my requirements as a customer, some of which have been at very short notice.
