Deep cleaning that goes the extra mile to ensure everyone’s safety

Since the coronavirus outbreak, it has never been more important to keep the environment in which you work as clean and hygienic as possible - this is as true of a large factory that produces foodstuffs as it is of a small office containing only computing equipment.

Keep your staff, visitors, produce and reputation safe with our deep cleaning and decontamination (fogging) services. Stationed across England, we have capacity to serve nationwide.

Decontamination

Houseman Services have developed a strategy using guidance from Public Health England to offer a specialist sanitisation services for all premises that have either suffered from a confirmed case of Coronavirus or wish to take precautionary measures.

Our fogging service creates an antiviral shield that kills bacteria and viruses that land on it and provides protection up to 7 days.

We employ two methods of deep cleaning, which are detailed below.

Touch-point surface cleaning

This is the process of disinfecting all those areas that are regular touch points in your establishment. We'll make sure all surfaces are thoroughly wiped down with approved anti-microbial products.

Fogging
We utilise powerful steam fogging machines to quickly and comprehensively sanitise any area of your premises. Our fogging process is carried out throughout your establishment using approved anti-microbial disinfectants and germicides.

The sprayed product produces a mist to ensure appropriate dwell time and as it is fogged, it fills the air, envelops furnishings and clings to surfaces resulting in a thorough application which does not need to be wiped off or hand cleaned.

Once applied an antiviral shield will be created that can protect surfaces for up to 7 days.

How do we perform our decontamination service?

It is essential to be as thorough as possible so that you can have confidence in the cleanliness of your surroundings. Below are the steps we employ.

The risk assessment

Identifying which areas are high, intermediate or low risk. This will determine which areas and items need special attention when carrying out our cleaning service.

Cleaning
The next step is to ensure all areas have been wiped down and are visibly clean and free from dirt, grease, stains and other contaminants.

Choosing the right disinfectant solutions to be used

Not all bacteria and viruses can be eradicated with a single solution. Based upon the findings of our risk assessment, we will select the most appropriate disinfectants for your workplace, giving us the best possible outcome when carrying out the decontamination process.

Keep your employees protected
Reduce the possibility of instruments and equipment being contaminated
Have greater confidence in your workplace
Protect your reputation

Aftercare

After each deep clean you will be issued with a report which confirms the work completed with photographic evidence of areas cleaned by our engineers. You will also receive a decontamination certificate for your H&S records.

Air Hygiene

The first step in providing and maintaining a safe, compliant and clean working environment is air quality. Air quality can have serious repercussions for human health and can have several environmental impacts.

Monitoring gases, temperature and humidity is a critical process to ensure staff safety. If not maintained, air systems, ductwork and extraction units can build up with dirt, grease and other contaminants and need to be regularly cleaned.

Houseman Services deliver a range of air hygiene services that safeguard you, your employees, and visitors. We use the latest air quality testing equipment which is sensitive to the highest levels to detect gas and pollutants.

Our services include:

• Air quality surveys (identify potential or existing contaminants & health hazards)

Trade Effluent Monitoring Services

Helping you achieve compliance

If you have a consent with your sewerage wholesaler to discharge non-domestic waste (effluent), you have a duty to monitor and ensure the volume and the composition of your effluent is compliant and within the set parameters.

At Houseman we can help your business monitor compliance levels by undertaking independent sampling and analysis of effluent discharge.

We design sampling programmes bespoke to your needs and will provide reports on the results, alerting you immediately if any breaches occur and if any remedial action is necessary.

We offer both composite sampling and spot sampling service solutions, which includes the sale and the lease of sampling equipment, where appropriate.

All samples are analysed by an UKAS accredited laboratory. Sample collection and courier services included.
