What We Do
The Kleaning Company was established in 2012 to offer a bespoke, unique Commercial Cleaning service, specifically targeted at After-Build Sparkle Cleaning for B-2-B construction companies. Our vision is to be the “1st Choice for After-Build & Sparkle Cleaning”.
The business ethos is focused on offering personalised, detailed deep-cleaning services towards the end of construction projects – often large-scale building constructions with big-ticket cleaning fees. Services are delivered by professional, trained operatives. The distinctive characteristic of the business is its unrivalled focus on After-Build Cleaning, a gap in the market identified and now being fulfilled by us.
We have excellent client feedback, fantastic testimonials and a strong reputation for quality, service & exceptional attention-to-detail resulting in satisfied blue-chip, b-2-b clients who use our services on an on-going basis and who importantly, also refer businesses to us. Our client base includes major construction & interior fit-out companies, typically with projects for house-builders; hotel chains; national retailers; sports stadiums; student accommodation complexes & building renovation companies to name a few.
TKC’s branding is distinctive. Our business strapline is “The After Build & Sparkle Cleaning Specialists”. We are focussed on delivering this vision & to continue to build an outstanding reputation with our ever-growing client base. The business holds all the major industry recognized quality assurance & training certificates. TKC staff are fully trained and hold qualifications & certifications to ensure professional, high standards of operation and meet safe working practices under H&S Legislation.
What is 'After-Build and Sparkle Cleaning'
After-build cleaning involves deep cleaning buildings towards the end of, or immediately on completion of a new build or refurbishment construction project in commercial or residential developments.
Depending on the degree of cleaning required, the process could involve up to 6 cleans to achieve a pristine, sparkle clean building. Attention-to-detail is essential in all aspects of our services. The cleaning services are delivered by professional, trained cleaning teams, transforming newly-built or refurbished buildings into spotlessly clean, fresh and totally presentable environments ready for occupation by owners, tenants, businesses or customers.
Our Core Values
Customer Service: We build relationships that last because of the positive difference we make to our clients’ lives
Quality: We strive each day to surpass expectations by providing an outstanding level of service and value to all our clients
Teamwork: We work together across the whole of the UK to meet the needs of our clients & our franchisees
Our People: We respect our people, encourage development and reward performance
An Exciting Opportunity
The TKC business is well established and has a record of fast, sustainable growth and profitability. The business is supported by high levels of client demand, retention and advocacy, has excellent margins and exciting potential for expansion. This is a niche business, in a growing market sector with a strong reputation for quality & exceptional service delivery.
To facilitate our growth & aspirations and to develop national brand coverage, we are now offering franchises to a select number of individuals (or companies).
Franchisees will be given an exclusive and agreed trading area. We have identified 21 franchise territories in the UK, each offering an excellent opportunity for the ambitious entrepreneurs to build a highly profitable and successful business in a large geographic area. We will actively assist and support franchisees to grow sales revenues in their designated territory and will work collaboratively with them.
At TKC we are fully committed to sharing the rewards inherent in our business system and to abiding by ethical franchising principles.
TKC will advise, support and work closely with franchisees to develop each territory. Our comprehensive, on-going support and administration package results in a strong relationship between TKC and franchisees – effectively a Sub-Contactor business relationship. We view this relationship as a key strength in the success of each franchisee and the business overall.
Our Teamwork Approach
You will be part of a growing network of franchisees and have the backing and strength of the TKC team. We can learn from each other and feel proud to be part of a ‘larger family’. As we are only recruiting 21 franchisees across the UK, our franchise will be unique and exclusive in a large geographic territory in so much as we aim to cultivate a personal relationship with our franchisees and indeed between each franchisee. We will grow the franchise business with this ethos and we will work in collaboration as a team for the ultimate benefit of growing sales, profitability and brand awareness for everyone in the franchise network.
Our Selection Process
Franchisees would ideally have some experience of and exposure to the construction industry or commercial cleaning industries – possibly as a Site Manager, Project Manager, Surveyor, Recruiter or maybe working in sales for a building material, equipment supply company or construction industry recruitment. A husband and wife team may also make ideal franchisees.
However, as our professionalism and our reputation in our niche market are important to our success to date, it is more important that franchisees have the necessary b-2-b sales and relationship management expertise to develop and sustain strong professional business relationships. Franchisees will also need to demonstrate excellent people management and leadership skills, as well as exceptional business administration, management and customer service.
