Professional office cleaning for Manchester businesses —
insured, DBS-checked and built around your schedule.
Your office says a lot about your business before anyone says a word. A cluttered reception, dusty desks, or a coffee-stained carpet in the meeting room doesn’t just look unprofessional — it actively costs you.
At TonyMay Ltd, we provide commercial cleaning services across Manchester and Greater Manchester for businesses of every size. From a busy open-plan workspace in Salford to a quiet professional office in Bolton — we handle the cleaning so your team can focus on what they do best.
Those aren’t small numbers. They translate directly into fewer sick days, stronger team morale, and a workspace your clients feel confident walking into.
We’ve cleaned everything from ground-floor start-up offices to multi-floor commercial premises. And after years in the industry, we know exactly where the real challenges lie.
Removing dried coffee stains from office carpets. Keeping glass partitions streak-free after busy meeting days. Sanitising shared kitchen surfaces that get used by 30 people before 9am. These aren’t just chores — they require the right products, the right technique, and someone who actually cares about the result.
“The biggest mistake we see in Manchester offices is treating high-touch surfaces — door handles, lift buttons, shared phones — as an afterthought. Proper high-touch surface disinfection is the single biggest thing you can do for workplace hygiene and keeping your team healthy.”
That kind of expertise is what you get when you work with us. Not a faceless contract cleaning company — a local Salford-based team that treats your space with the same care we’d want for our own.
All staff are fully insured and DBS-checked — you'll never have an unknown face in your office
We use eco-friendly cleaning products that are tough on grime but safe for your team and the environment
Every clean is COSHH compliant — we follow industry-standard safety procedures as standard, not as an add-on
We offer genuinely flexible cleaning schedules — early mornings, evenings, or weekends, whatever works around your business hours
Transparent pricing with no hidden costs — you'll know exactly what you're paying before we ever set foot in your building
No two offices are the same. A 5-person accountancy firm in Salford has completely different needs to a 60-desk open-plan agency in Manchester city centre. That's why we don't do one-size-fits-all cleaning contracts.
Every business we work with gets a tailored plan — built around your layout, your hours, and the specific areas that matter most to your team and your clients.
Here's exactly what we offer:
Daily & regular contract cleaning
Most popularYour office cleaned on a schedule that fits your business — daily, weekly or fortnightly. We arrive before your team does, or after they leave. Your call.
From £18/hr · Flexible cleaning schedule
One-off & deep office cleaning
Need a thorough reset before a big client visit, after a refurb, or just because it's overdue? Our deep clean goes far beyond the surface — grout lines, skirting boards, the works.
From £25/hr · COSHH compliant products
Washroom & kitchen cleaning
Shared kitchens and washrooms are the hardest-working spaces in any office — and the ones that get noticed most by visitors. We descale, disinfect and restock so they're always presentable.
Workplace hygiene standard maintained
High-touch surface disinfection
Door handles, lift buttons, light switches, shared phones, keyboards — these are touched hundreds of times a day and rarely cleaned thoroughly. We prioritise them on every visit.
Reduces illness spread · Every visit
A note on eco-friendly products: We use BSEN-certified, fully COSHH compliant eco-friendly cleaning products across all our commercial work — just as effective as traditional chemicals, without the harsh fumes that linger in poorly ventilated offices. Your team will notice the difference.
We bring everything — you don't lift a finger
Our commercial cleaners arrive fully equipped with professional-grade equipment and all cleaning materials. You don't need to supply a thing — no mops, no products, no storage space taken up in your office cupboard.
Every member of our team is DBS-checked and covered by our full business insurance. So whether we're cleaning after hours or while your team is still in the building, you have complete peace of mind about who's in your space.
We serve businesses across Greater Manchester — including Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Bolton, Stockport and Bury. Based in Salford M8, we're genuinely local.

Why being local actually matters for office cleaning
A lot of cleaning companies in Manchester are regional arms of national businesses. Your contract is managed remotely, your cleaner changes regularly, and when something goes wrong — getting hold of someone takes time.
We work differently. Because we're genuinely local, here's what that means in practice for your business:
If your regular cleaner is off sick, we have local cover staff who can step in — no missed visits, no excuses
We can offer same-day or next-day visits for urgent cleans before a client meeting or after an unexpected mess
You speak to the same person every time — not a call centre, not a ticketing system
Our flexible cleaning schedules are genuinely flexible — we've rearranged visits with 24 hours' notice for clients who needed it
Being based in Salford means lower travel costs — and we pass that saving on through our pricing
From a Manchester client
"What I appreciate most is that TonyMay actually show up. I've had two other cleaning companies before them who'd cancel last minute. In three years with TonyMay, it's never happened once." — David Lewis, One-Off Cleaning client, Manchester
Office cleaning across Greater Manchester — our coverage in numbers
Greater Manchester is home to over 3.8 million square feet of commercial office space — and the standard of workplace hygiene expected by tenants, landlords and employees has never been higher.
Whether you're a two-person consultancy in the Northern Quarter or a 100-desk operation in Trafford Park, the same principle applies: a clean workspace performs better. Research shows employees in well-maintained offices are 12% more productive and take up to 46% fewer sick days — figures that matter to any business, regardless of size.
We bring DBS-checked, fully insured commercial cleaners to offices across every corner of Greater Manchester — using eco-friendly cleaning products and working to COSHH compliant standards on every single visit.

Pricing questions we get asked a lot

Our minimum booking is 4 hours. For most small offices in Manchester, that's more than enough for a thorough standard clean — and you only pay for the time we're there.
Do prices change if I book regularly?
Yes — our regular clean rate of £18/hr is specifically for clients who book us on a weekly or fortnightly basis. It's our way of rewarding consistency and building a proper working relationship.
Are there any hidden charges?
None. The price we quote after our site visit is the price you pay. Equipment, products, travel within Greater Manchester — all included. No surprises on your invoice.
Can I get a same-week quote?
Yes. Contact us today and we'll arrange a free site visit within the week — often sooner. Most quotes are confirmed within 24 hours of our visit.

Most business owners think of office cleaning as an overhead — a necessary cost to keep the place looking decent. The data tells a very different story.
A properly maintained office, cleaned to a consistent workplace hygiene standard, directly improves the financial performance of your business. Here's the evidence:
12%
increase in employee productivity in clean, well-maintained offices
Harvard Business Review
46%
reduction in workplace absenteeism with regular cleaning and disinfection
Journal of Environmental Health
94%
of customers would avoid a business after encountering dirty restrooms
Clorox Professional Products
Those three numbers alone make the case. But let's break down what each one actually means for a Manchester business like yours.
Productivity: a clean office is a performing office
The Harvard Business Review finding isn't about aesthetics — it's about cognitive load. When a workspace is cluttered, dusty or visibly dirty, employees spend mental energy processing the disorder around them. That's energy not going into their work.
A 12% productivity gain might sound modest. But run the numbers for your team:
A team of 10 people earning an average of £30,000 per year represents £300,000 in annual salary. A 12% productivity improvement means you're getting the equivalent of £36,000 of additional output — from the same team, simply by maintaining a clean, organised workspace. The cost of a weekly contract cleaning service? A fraction of that.
This is why companies investing in commercial cleaning services don't see it as a cost — they see it as one of the highest-return line items in their budget.
Absenteeism: what dirty offices actually cost in sick days
The average UK employee takes 5.8 sick days per year. For a 10-person office, that's nearly 60 lost working days annually — costing the average business somewhere between £500 and £700 per employee per year in lost productivity.
The Journal of Environmental Health study found that regular cleaning and high-touch surface disinfection can cut absenteeism by up to 46%:
46%
Fewer sick days through consistent workplace hygiene and surface disinfection. For a 10-person office, that could mean recovering 27 lost working days per year — days that otherwise simply disappear from your business.
Journal of Environmental Health
This is exactly why we prioritise high-touch surface disinfection on every visit — not as an add-on, but as a core part of every clean we carry out across Greater Manchester.
Client perception: what visitors see before you say a word
The 94% Clorox statistic is the one that should matter most to any client-facing business in Manchester. Nearly every customer who walks into a dirty office or uses an unclean washroom will actively avoid that business in future.
Think about what that means in practice:
Reception & entrance areas
The first 10 seconds of a client visit form a lasting impression. A clean, fresh-smelling entrance signals professionalism before anyone speaks.
Boardrooms & conference spaces
Smear-free glass, clean chairs, no stale odours. The room where you pitch, negotiate and present has to be spotless — every time.
The most-noticed space in your building
94% of clients judge your business on this room. One visit to a poorly maintained washroom can permanently damage someone's impression of your company.
Kitchens & communal spaces
A clean staff kitchen signals that management cares about the team. It directly affects morale, retention and the day-to-day experience of working for your business.
Compliance: cleaning isn't optional under UK law
Beyond productivity and perception, there's a legal dimension that many Manchester business owners overlook. UK Health & Safety legislation requires employers to maintain clean, safe working environments.
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 requires all employers to maintain a safe working environment — which includes cleanliness
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 set specific requirements for workplace hygiene, ventilation and sanitation
Failure to maintain adequate cleanliness can result in HSE enforcement action, fines, or personal liability for directors
All our cleaning is carried out using COSHH compliant products and procedures — protecting both your team and your business from regulatory risk
From our team
"A lot of our Manchester clients come to us after a near-miss — a slip on an unmopped floor, a staff complaint about the kitchen, or a client comment about the washrooms. We'd rather businesses get ahead of it. The cost of prevention is always lower than the cost of what happens when you don't." — TonyMay cleaning operations team
The Manchester context: why standards are rising
Greater Manchester's commercial property market has expanded significantly in recent years. With over 3.8 million square feet of office space across the region — from MediaCityUK in Salford to the Northern Quarter and Spinningfields — competition for tenants, clients and talent is intense.
Businesses that invest in commercial cleaners and consistent flexible cleaning schedules are sending a clear signal: this is a company that takes its environment seriously. In a city where professional standards are rising, that signal matters.
The businesses that treat cleaning as an afterthought are the ones losing clients to competitors whose offices feel sharper, fresher and more professional. The ones investing in regular contract cleaning — even at the entry-level rate of £18/hr — are winning on first impressions, staff retention and client confidence.
