Healthcare and Hospital Cleaning
Healthcare cleaning to the National Standards of Cleanliness, with infection-prevention training, colour-coded equipment, and the audit trail your CQC and IPC leads need.
NHS NSC-aligned cleaning. Infection control. Audited daily.
Hospital and healthcare cleaning, run inside the AOG operating model.
Hospital and healthcare cleaning sits inside the same AOG account as security, construction support and vacant property. One project manager owns the contract. One helpdesk takes the calls. One weekly report covers every visit, task and reactive job.
You take the service on its own, or alongside the rest of the FM division. The covenant, the compliance ledger and the point of contact stay the same either way.
Clinical and non-clinical cleaning for NHS trusts, private hospitals and healthcare facilities. Aligned to the National Standards of Cleanliness 2025, with IPC-trained teams, colour-coded equipment and a daily audit trail evidenced against NSC functional risk categories.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What standard is hospital and healthcare cleaning delivered to?
Cleaning frequencies, methods and audit are aligned to the National Standards of Cleanliness 2025, with a daily audit against the relevant NSC functional risk categories rather than a periodic spot check.
Are cleaning teams trained in infection prevention and control?
Yes. Teams are IPC-trained, use colour-coded equipment to reduce cross-contamination, and follow chemical control appropriate to clinical protocols in patient-facing and clinical areas.
How are theatres and clinical spaces cleaned?
Theatres and other clinical spaces are cleaned to a published schedule covering terminal cleans, between-list cleans and deep cleans, so turnaround between procedures follows a fixed, auditable routine rather than an ad hoc response.
What evidence is available to support a CQC inspection?
A daily audit trail is produced against NSC functional risk categories and structured to support the evidence a CQC inspection looks for, rather than being assembled in the week of an inspection.
Can you respond to an isolation or outbreak situation?
Yes. Trained teams can support isolation room turnover, deep-clean turnover and outbreak response without needing an emergency procurement, since this capability sits within the existing contract.
