The pressures of operating buses and trains

means these surfaces suffer greatly over time.

Unless you’re fastidious about the interior

cleaning on a daily basis build ups can and do

occur. As the weeks & months roll by hidden

grime, wrappers, dust and junk can just pile up.

Unfortunately there is just not enough time

during the daily and weekly service cycles to do

all you need to do to keep your fleet in top

condition and maintaining specialist equipment

which will only be used periodically does not

make commercial sense.

You’re in-house or contract staff know how to

prepare your fleet so it meets the requirements

of your daily service commitments but trying to

get the same attention to detail on a periodic

basis is difficult.

Fleet

Valet

Keeping you fleet clean has many benefits:

· Retains the value of your asset

· Portrays the image you want to your clients

· Improves your Mystery Traveller surveys

· Reduces customer complaints

· Extends the life time of your surfaces by at

least double

· Reduces insurance claims for clothes soiling

· Prevents opportunities for bug infestation

· Restores faded fabrics

· Reduces those “strange” odours that masking

will just not address

· Gives the asset a new, fresh appearance

A clean fleet is also treated better by the travelling

public which is a proven fact. Using the intelligent

approach we can provide a planned valet project for

your fleet that will return it to its former glory – In

additional to the valet we can then also protect the

surfaces so they will stay cleaner for longer and will

be easier to clean on a daily basis.

Our vast experience across all forms of

transport has given us industry leading skills to

be able to deliver the project whilst causing no

disruption to your current operation – We

provide all the manpower and equipment to

get the job done and our proven

environmentally aware products allow us to

treat any surface without detriment to the

substrate.

Not only will having a clean fleet be beneficial

to your image it also generates increased

revenue due to the increase in patronage as

one of the main reasons cited by the travelling

public against transport is the general

impression that they are dirty – Promoting

your standard of cleanliness and the steps to

take to maintain standards can change

passenger perception and can help to regain or

gain tendered services or operating bonuses.

Our dedicated Valet teams know what it takes

to make things right and are focused on the

overall excellence in your fleet’s appearance.

Clients have used our services as part of a

midlife refurbishment programme, Annual

Maintenance or just before lease periods

expire.

Fleet

Valet

We can provide valet services for single elements

(flooring, seating etc.) or for all the internal

surfaces. By providing these services at fixed costs

the fleet manager doesn’t need to worry about

the high costs or headaches of unplanned

maintenance cleaning.

Speak to us to see how we can help you maintain

your fleet – Intelligently!

Your fleet reflects your company and sometimes

what you can’t see has a bigger impact on what

you can. Passenger perception is a key hurdle for

all operators to cross and the increased

awareness and risk of been personally affected

by the surfaces passengers come in contact can

lead to them choosing alternative means.

Cleaning regimes address the visible but the

invisible is what threatens people most. All know

about the value of good hygiene yet few seem

to live by this creed.

Your fleet can suffer from the effects by

harbouring pathogens and other undesirables

and this can have a direct impact on your

revenue and bottom line.

Certified

Sanitisation

To address this Intelligent have developed a fleet

sanitisation programme that gives you the choice of

the latest proven treatments to periodically sanitise

the whole of your fleet.

The benefits of our treatments include:

· Reduction of stale odours

· Removal of all hidden germs

· A safer environment for your passengers and

staff

We are the only company that offers you a range of

non-damaging, industry leading and clinically proven

treatments from all the leading global suppliers and

have designed our service to fit around the needs of

the operator with treatments taking place outside

operational hours.

Our unique services utilise the latest in electrostatic

spray equipment to deliver the most complete

coverage of every surface using the minimum

amount of product which ensures less wastage and

that vehicle downtime is kept to a minimum.

Once we sanitise your fleet we provide a

confirmation certificate that can be attached

wherever desired to clearly show your

commitment to excellence for all to see. The

service takes just minutes and your fleet is free

for operation almost immediately.

Treatments can provide instant kill and/or you

can have a residual treatment which, once

used, goes on working between treatments.

We provide the very low cost service either as

a one off or on a rolling project basis and all we

need is access and everything else is provided

by our self-contained units.

Not only can you enhance the passenger

quality but you also reduce your ligation

exposure as you will have a clear due diligence

trial for all to follow.

Our service is not only suitable for the standard

public transport format of Bus, Train & Plane

but is increasingly being used by taxi

companies & vehicle hire companies to

promote their commitment to excellence.

Certified

Sanitisation

One of the key sectors is the cruise ship industry

and we can provide our complete service during

port time to significantly reduce the potential

cases of Norovirus etc. which leads to a lot of

negative press.

your fleet – Intelligently!

Moisture, Alkalinity and Dirt (MAD) can easily

cause glass, exterior or interior, to become

Problem Glass. Glass is a prominent part of the

many transport surfaces and it promises

visibility, clarity and cleanliness. Unless glass is

protected against MAD, it can easily break these

promises and lead to a low level of passenger

experience.

Problem Glass is any glass that has broken, or is

likely to break, its original promises of visibility,

clarity and cleanliness. This causes glass to

become increasingly difficult to clean and keep

clean – a high-maintenance material of

construction. In spite of frequent and intensive

cleaning, Problem Glass can easily lose its

original visibility and “sparkling” appearance.

ClearShield

Problem Glass can also fail to achieve standards for

light transmission that were met at the time of train

design. This has negative effects on vehicle

presentation/ambiance not to mention the effects

on structural glazing.

Problem Glass can be found in many places on

transport fleet and structures with one or more of

the aggressive trio of MAD is found present. The two

biggest enemies of glass are moisture and alkalinity.

Either individually or together, they can etch or

dissolve the surface of glass, making it appear dull

and sometimes white in appearance. Some dirt can

damage the surface, and further harm can be caused

in efforts to remove it.

Improved glazing appearance instantly improves the

overall appearance of fleet and structures and clear

shield ensures that the appearances is maintained

with a huge decrease in maintenance requirements.

Moisture can be in its liquid form, such as

rainfall, or as a vapour in high humidity areas.

Alkalinity comes from the fleet wash cycles as

well as the general operating environment.

Although Organic dirt does not normally attack

glass it can attach firmly to the surface and be

difficult to remove. For exterior glass, this

includes traffic film, bird droppings and grease.

For interior glass, organic dirt includes finger

marks and head marks.

Inorganic dirt bonds chemically to glass and is

difficult, if not impossible, to remove using

conventional cleaning methods.

Inorganic dirt on exterior glass includes sea

spray, industrial emissions, metal oxides from

the braking systems etc. For interior glass

consecutive tears of chemical based cleaning

agents can begin to take their toll.

For more than 30 years, Clear Shield has been

developed and supplied innovative and cost-

effective solutions for Problem Glass.

ClearShield

These solutions will provide the cure for the glass

and provide an increased passenger perception

not to mention the reduction in current cleaning

productivity.

We are approved and certificated applicators of

the clear shield system with a particular emphasis

on transport systems – Real world trials have

shown how effective the system is when

embraced with a clear ROI being achieved.

and protect all of your glazing – Intelligently!

Many transport environments suffer from build

ups over time – From engineering areas to

offices, bus Stops to train stations the heavy

footfall and exposure to the environment takes

its toll.

With over 3 decades of experience in providing

services to the transport industry Intelligent

have created surface restoration solutions for all

environments.

Through the use of Power Washing, next

generation soft washing or the application of

Nano based surface protection treatments we

have answers for all problems.

Surface

Restoration

By using our unique industry working experience our

systems are tailored to work around the operational

needs as opposed to interfere with them and we

know how to work within our client’s requirements.

We provide single or on-going restoration projects

which have included:

· Engineering bay/workshop degreasing

· Out station/bus stop cleaning

· Platform Chewing Gum Removal

· External Algae control

· Internal mould remediation

· Hard Surface deep cleansing (internal &

External)

· Sanitary area restoration

Current practices sometimes only deal with the daily

aspects and the requirement for specialist

equipment/skills is at times beyond the reach of the

current resources be they internal or external.

Completed on a fixed price basis, budget

controls has never been simpler and clients can

focus on the areas that cause them the most

concern and/or can return the most for their

investment.

Having a robust programme in place maintains

and extends the lifespan of substrates making

a clear value justification and by being able to

clearly demonstrate the actions taken ensure

that clients “duty of care” towards employees

and customers is very clear leading to

complete compliance with all types of

legislation.

Sometimes there are projects that need

alternative methods to be used and the

industry renowned flexibility of the Intelligent

service provision allows for all these

alternatives to be provided under the one

umbrella

Our experience has shown what works in each

environment and we have always risen to

whatever challenge is placed before us –

Regardless of how obscure the requirement

can be! Plant & premises can be some of the

most revenue hungry aspects of transport so

investing in preventing these areas becoming

problems has clear financial benefits.

Surface

Restoration

We are committed to using the most sustainable

and effective methods possible with an increasing

amount of solutions being 100% organic.

We take an active part in our world to reduce

negative environmental impacts caused by

outdated inefficient practices.

all of your surfaces – Intelligently!

The transport industry invests millions each year

on assets and maintaining their fleet. When

purchased these purchases can begin to

deteriorate in appearance and in turn devalue

due to the nature of the operational

environment.

Coating the visible surfaces with Nanoclear is

one very positive way to help with this

demoralising issue and give longevity to the

surfaces which suffer from fading, staining,

corroding and tarnishing.

Nanoclear covers and protects nearly all of the

components in your fleet and infrastructure to

give less cleaning, better impact resistance,

much better solvent resistance and life

expectancy that no other clear coat can hope

for.

Nanoclear

Using Nanoclear we can restore and protect surfaces

such as:

· Fleet Paintwork & Bright work

· Alloy Wheels

· Signage

· Stainless steel

· Plastics

The proven coatings protect against all the harsh

environments including road film, fertilisers, acids,

bird droppings and salts just to name a few.

Nanoclear will rejuvenate highly oxidized surfaces to

restore colour, gloss and UV properties. Nanoclear

will protect almost any surface to give longevity,

easy to clean, long lasting surface properties and is

proven to revive and protect fibreglass, paint,

plastics, vinyl, stainless steel, aluminium and much

more.

The treatment provides extreme weathering

resistance, high scratch resistance, and innovative

self cleaning properties as well as being chemical

and solvent proof for easy maintenance which

covers every aspect of transport, automotive,

architecture and marine surfaces.

Laboratory tests prove that treatments require

60% less cleaning, have 75% better impact

resistance, 476% better solvent resistance, and

45% better abrasion resistance than even the

closest clear coat competitors.

Using Nanoclear technology in the transport

market has proven to have huge benefits and

to far exceed expectations in every sector of

vehicles, rolling stock, commercial property

and more. Our nanotechnology based coatings

restore original gloss, surface hardness and UV

resistance to highly oxidized paint, gel coat and

fibreglass surfaces which is idea for on street

facilities such as bus stops.

Nanoclear coatings penetrate deep into the

smallest pores within newly painted or highly

oxidized paint surfaces to form a highly cross-

linked hard coat surface.

Nanoclear coatings provide dramatically longer

surface protection over conventional

automotive, marine, aerospace and industrial

paints including epoxies and polyurethanes.

Nanoclear coatings prevent UV degradation of

the substrate by absorbing harmful UV rays.

Nanoclear

Nanoclear coatings are only available for

application from Intelligent for the whole of the

UK & Ireland under an on-going exclusive

arrangement – The coatings are manufactured to

give properties that far exceed OEM specification

and have been used extensively by the Canadian

rail freight industry and US Navy as well as many

others.

can Intelligently do for you!

Vinyl based flooring in all its formats has proven

to be one of the most flexible but difficult areas

to maintain to a consistent acceptable standard

due to the properties of the flooring. Applying

layers of polish can briefly enhance the surface

and reduce maintenance time but is short lived

and can increase the risk of slips and trips.

There is an answer and that answer is the

patented revolutionary WEARMAX© coating.

This new and unique ceramic coating system is

suitable for vinyl, linoleum, synthetic and natural

rubber and gives your flooring the properties

desired. Key benefits include:

· Guaranteed for a minimum of 5 years on

building interiors

· Totally restores existing flooring

· Increased slip resistance

· UV fading and chemical resistant

· Reduces daily maintenance by a minimum

of 50%

· No additional treatment needed

· Can be maintained with mechanical floor

scrubbers

WearMax

WEARMAX© is a multiple Coat-System.

WEARMAX© Primer (Base Coat) is specially

formulated to generate adhesion on the substrates

mentioned.

The primer contains ceramics and provides the

actual main wear-layer. The ceramic used in

WEARMAX© performs with a hardness of 9.2 – 9.4

(natural diamond = 10).

The entire system is formulated to allow the

individual ceramic particles to protrude through the

final surface, generating a smooth to touch but

extremely hard and enduring protection against

daily wear and tear.

Due to the dense and even particle distribution

across the entire surface excellent protection of the

coated surface is achieved as well as excellent

traction due to the fine roughness generated by the

exposed ceramic particles.

Excellent traction is provided even on damp

and/or wet surfaces. WEARMAX© allows

you to reduce the cost of daily floor care and

maintenance with savings in labour and

cleaning materials whilst deliver a consistent

high level of appearance that is second to

none.

WEARMAX© will increase the life span of

any floor substrate to levels previously

unknown!

The long-lasting clean appearance of your

floors coated with the WEARMAX® System

will improve the image of your company and

assets.

WEARMAX© treatments can be beneficial in

every area of a business – From the floors on

your canteeen to the floors in your

executive bathrooms.

The principle is simple: the larger the coated

surface area, the higher the potential

savings. However, significant savings can be

made even in small areas!

WearMax

The top coat can be Matt, Satin or Gloss finish and

gives the protection against dirt and soils. This

product performs with excellent resistance against

diluted acids and alkaline substances. The coating

can only be applied by a certified WEARMAX© Team

Partner and Intelligent are the exclusive team

partners in the UK & Ireland

Intelligently do for you!

Stone protection is the application of a surface

treatment to surfaces constructed of stone to

reduce staining and corrosion. All stone is riddled

with interconnected channels that permit

penetration by liquids and gases. These channels

act like a sponge and draw in liquids over time,

along with any dissolved salts etc.

Very porous stone, such as sandstone absorbs

liquids relatively quickly, while denser igneous

stones such as granite are significantly less

porous; they absorb smaller volumes, and more

slowly.

When surfaces become porous they allow

rainwater penetration, causing a number of

problems. These issues occur when the water

soaks into the stone, as minerals and salt are

drawn to the surface which are then deposited as

white efflorescence on the stone surface.

Stone

Protection

Grime and dirt can then also penetrate the surface,

making the surface increasingly harder to keep

clean. Heat loss through walls and deposits of

internal damp can also increase as this takes place.

The longevity and usefulness of stone can be

extended by sealing its surface effectively, so as to

exclude harmful liquids and gases. The ancient

Romans often used olive oil to seal their stone.

Such treatment provided some protection by

excluding water and other weathering agents, but it

stained the stone permanently.

Staining is the most common form of damage

found on stone surfaces. It is the result of oils or

other liquids penetrating deeply into the channels

and depositing material that is effectively

impossible to remove without destroying the stone.

Salt Attack occurs when salts dissolved in water are

carried into the stone.

Salt attack is better known as Efflorescence

which is the formation of a gritty deposit,

commonly white, on the surface. Acid

erodes the stone, leaving dull marks on

polished surfaces. In time it may cause deep

pitting, eventually totally obliterating the

forms of statues, memorials and other

sculptures

Our coatings will protect stone from water

ingress, pollution, vegetation, algae and

staining keeping your surface looking like

new for years, saving you energy, time and

money.

The stone protection and waterproofing

performance coatings are water resistant,

colourless stone impregnation - up to 15mm

deep which will prevent the need for

continual cleaning, power washing and

painting. They are all breathable to prevent

the internal area becoming damp and

improves the thermal efficiency of stone and

masonry as the stone impregnation prevents

water ingress.

Stone

Protection

Coatings can be used as part of a flood protection

system for a building and are extremely abrasion

and frost resistant which are also highly effective as

a waterproofing membrane and reduces the growth

of micro-organisms, moulds, moss and algae

increasing hygiene on the surface.

One such product is Gum-stop which prevents gum,

dirt, grime, grease, oil and moss from adhering to

the surface of paving slabs, brickwork, granite,

marble and concrete. This innovative stain and

chewing gum repellent makes cleaning pavements

and paths an easier and more routine process. Even

a sweeper or man and broom will successfully

remove dropped gum.

Speak to us to see the stone protection that is

Intelligently right for you!

Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and

staining, low maintenance and familiar lustre

make it an ideal material for many applications.

There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of

which fifteen are most commonly used.

Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or

stain with water as ordinary steel does, but

despite the name it is not fully stain-proof, most

notably under low-oxygen, high-salinity, or poor-

circulation environments.

Particularly corrosive conditions include:

· Sea water, or de-icing salt splashing, or

salt spray

· High industrial or urban pollution levels

· Hot, humid locations with salt or pollution

exposure and very low rainfall.

Stainless

Steel

There are different grades and surface finishes of

stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy

must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the

properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are

required. Stainless steel is used for buildings for

both practical and aesthetic reasons. In order to

maintain optimum appearance, the surface of

stainless steel must be cared for regularly.

Current practices include the use of oils on the

surface but these methods can lead to an increase

in dirt retention as well as the problems caused by

the transfer of the surface residue. This method

does nothing for protection of cleansing but just

gives a visibly shiny surface which is short lived.

Stainless Steel coatings are commercial non-stick

protective coatings that seals the surface, making

cleaning and maintenance easier. They are

completely invisible and do not change or alter the

appearance of the surface.

The coatings provide both hydrophobic and

oleophobic protection, reducing both

corrosion and staining that often forms in

most commercial environments.

Many acidic cleaners that are used to treat

the corrosion that develops on stainless

steel can accelerate and increase the return

rate. Our stainless steel coatings will

eliminate the need to use those cleaners,

and will dramatically slow the corrosion

process.

Similar to a non-stick fry pan, cleaning is

made easier using only water and a mild

detergent or with a microfiber cloth. The

superior protection also helps prevent the

build-up of mould and harmful bacteria,

promoting a germ free environment.

Stainless Steel Coatings can be applied to all

new or existing surfaces. Ideal applications

include: marine and public transport

surfaces, commercial kitchens, escalator

side panels. Passenger and goods lifts and

general fixtures

Stainless

Steel

Fingerprints, Streaks and general grime become

much easier to remove and cleaning and

maintenance times are reduced by up to 90% with

the surfaces only requiring a regular wipe over to

remove any grime build up. It keeps surfaces looking

brand new and removes the need for harsh

chemicals of other products. By helping to prevent

bacteria build up protected surfaces promote a germ

free environment.

Extensive testing has proven the coatings to be

highly durable. A 2-year limited warranty is provided

for application to both new and existing stainless

steel surfaces but the coatings can last up to 2 times

longer than this.

Speak to us to see how we can Intelligently restore

and protect your stainless steel surfaces!

Global organizations have invested billions to

protect valuable assets from corrosion, water

damage, scratching, chipping, chemical attack

and harmful UV rays.

Many of these assets were painted using inferior

materials not designed to withstand long-term

weathering.

Companies have various options when these

surfaces degrade from UV damage:

· Do nothing and allow the paint UV

degradation cycle to continue (reduced

corrosion, chemical and water resistance).

· Replace the existing paint system using

the same inferior conventional system

(epoxy, polyurethane or latex).

· Restore, enhance and extend the surface

life of new or highly oxidized paint by 10

years using Nano-Clear®.

Given the high cost of having repainted it makes

financial sense to restore the existing paint. UV

rays and salt can seriously fade the surface of

paint. Often the damage is only on the surface

and can be repaired.

Oxidised

Surfaces

Nanoclear® NCI-RC is the only industrial coating in

the global marketplace to enhance, restore and

extend the in-service life of highly oxidized surfaces

by 10 years. Nanoclear provides extreme corrosion

resistance, abrasion, chemical & UV resistance,

water repellency and reduced surface maintenance.

Nanoclear penetrates deep into the pores of newly

painted or highly oxidized paints, enhances colour,

improves gloss, increases surface hardness and

extends UV resistance.

Nanotechnology gives us the ability to

develop and alter materials at the

molecular level. Manufacturing at the

atomic level allows chemical

engineers to alter the physical

characteristics of parent material

atom-by-atom to create entirely new

substances.

Companies are currently

manufacturing revolutionary nano-

based materials including carbon

nanotubes, nano-polymers, nano-

glass and nano-ceramic.

Nanoclear Coatings are manufactured

using proprietary 3D nanostructured

polymers. These 3D nano-scale

networks form the polymer backbone

of all Nanoclear Coating Systems.

Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis

(DMTA) is utilized to calculate the

"crosslink density" of coating

polymers.

Oxidised

Surfaces

Nanoclear Coatings provide extreme crosslink density as

measured using DMTA, including remarkable surface

hardness, chemical resistance, extreme UV resistance and

high flexibility.

Interestingly enough, Nanoclear Coatings do not contain any

nanoparticles like many marketed nanocoatings. Rather, all

Nanoclear Coatings rely on crosslink density to exceed OEM

technical specifications.

Not only will the treatment restore your oxidised surface

back to its former glory but it then provides protection

guaranteed for up to 10 years

Speak to us to see how we can Intelligently restore your

oxidised surfaces!

An increasing amount of external surfaces are

becoming unsuitable for pressure washing either

due to the type of surface or location and many

clients also require the use of water/chemicals in

external maintenance to be kept at a minimum.

Self-finished silicone renders have become more

popular among architects as there are many good

reasons for this which includes architectural and

practical design.

Whether you’re a local authority with council

properties, A commercial building, a retail unit, a

school or even an historic property with

monuments and delicate brickwork, over time

your surfaces will develop general soiling as well

as bacterial and, under the right conditions, algal

growths. These areas can become unsightly and

hazardous to customers, staff and the public if

left untreated not to mention to potential

damage it causes to the surface substrate.

SoftWash

Our various softwash treatments is completed by

the use of our own designed high reach pole &

brush systems from ground for surfaces up to 10

metres or from access platforms for higher levels.

There are many benefits for this system which

include

• Cause no damage to surfaces

• Kill organic growth and inhibit Re-growth

• Removes carbon and other general

soiling build-ups

• Can be used on all surfaces including

Brick, Stone, Wood, Metal, Plaster etc.

• Increases the lifecycle of surfaces

• Creates surfaces where less dirt & grime

are retained

• General appearance stays cleaner for

longer

• Be completed without any major

disruption

• And all with a low environmental impact

Biofilms such as Algae etc. almost always

consist of mixtures of many species of bacteria,

as well as fungi, algae, yeasts and other micro-

organisms. If left untreated these can cause

severe deterioration on untreated surfaces not

to mention the unsightly, unkempt image it

creates which has a negative impact for the

building and all who use or see it.

Power washing actually drives the algae further

into the surface and spreads spores over a

wider area causing increased growth going

forward and, in the wrong hands, can cause

significant surface damage.

Our answers are to treat the surfaces with a

range of biodegradable solutions that will

penetrate all the soiling or cells of the algae

safely and quickly giving visible results in under

24 hours.

Softwash

The Algae problems have increased as urban

weed control has become better targeted and

more environmentally aware, particularly in areas

of non-residual weed control.

These problems are a concern as they can make

any surface extremely slippery. The problems are

most prevalent in autumn and spring when the

soiling and algae have ideal moisture and

temperature conditions.

The aim of our advisory service is to assess the

current status of the in-house or contracted

services, identify positive & negative areas and

to instigate changes and monitoring procedures

that would allow for the service to be performed

to meet & exceed client expectations.

We also provide advice on solutions to new

problems or issues that are not being properly

addressed.

By contracting out this process the relevant

operation would be given new focus and the

current operations would be monitored

independently to give a true reflection of where

the operation currently stands.

By having a new emphasis on the operation staff

employed within this section would also have a

clear vision on the roles they play.

Advisory

Services

As a management based project this would give the

internal management team more time to focus on

other activities as the day to day operation of the

relevant service function would be controlled.

From a purely commercial stance the proposal is

based on performance level with charges only

occurring via the system savings that could be made

following the initial consultation period.

By being tasked to achieve the corporate goals

within the current budget constraints this will

ensure that the operation is performing to the

highest levels possible for an internal operation

whilst still embracing all the procedures and

practices embraced by the contracted out providers.

As an experienced service provider (particularly in

the field of public transport) we have the skills

required to deliver projects in the most efficient &

effective way possible and with our commercial

awareness the service ensures clients will also have

the most cost effective solutions possible.

As outsourced contracting develops

management teams with little (if any)

knowledge of facilities management are faced

with an increased responsibility in these areas.

The emphasis of our advisory service is always

to ensure best value and uncompromising

quality at every stage of the process.

Our services include:

· Defining cleaning

standards/specifications

· Create a tendering process

· Evaluation of tender submissions

· Mobilising new contracts

· Project management

· Support and guidance on problem

processes

Training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills,

and competencies as a result of the teaching of

vocational or practical skills. Training has specific

goals of improving one's capability, capacity,

productivity and performance. In addition to the

basic training required employees need to

maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout

their working life.

Too many managers view training as a luxury,

not a competitive and strategic necessity. In

today's business landscape, training is not just a

matter of survival; it's what separates high

performance organisations from the others.

Embracing new processes or practices requires

employee training.

Training is more than just building the skills and

knowledge of each individual of your team for

their own personal benefit.

The fundamental concept of a Total Quality

Management system (to measure the successful

delivery of a service) depends upon getting the

input right and monitoring the out. Conducting a

Cleaning Audit considers monitoring not only

cleaning standards but also those elements,

such as training and staffing that are essential

for successful delivery of any service. Only in this

way can problems be effectively rectified and,

ultimately, prevented.

The audit service is of benefit to all involved in

cleaning management, especially:

· Direct Labour Organisations.

· Hospital Domestic and Hotel Services

Managers.

· Hospital Estates Managers.

· Local Authority Cleaning Managers.

· Property Managers.

· Public Transport Operators

Audit

Services

The service begins by monitoring the inputs which

involves areas such as: have sufficient hours been

allocated? Is there adequate site supervision? Is

there a proactive signing in and out procedure?

What level of sickness and absenteeism exists? What

is the level of staff turnover? Are staff receiving the

correct wage?

We also monitoring training & quality management

and audit the use and quality of equipment and

materials to ensure the correct equipment,

materials and processes are being used for the tasks

being completed which ensure value for money

delivery.

Once we have established the inputs we can then

monitoring the Outputs which allows us to define

the standards of performance be it hygienically

clean, prestige standard, normal standard and basic

standard. We can also determine the reasons for

failure during an inspection if present.

The mechanics of the audit are measured by

use of scoring systems with the weighting

levels set by area, or by task.

We can also include weighting by cost,

standard times to undertake certain tasks etc.

The process needed parameters such as how

many rooms will be visited or how many tasks

will be checked.

Audit visits can be random or a selective

sample from the entire site.

Pass rates are set based on what the client is

seeking & the auditor sufficiently qualified to

conduct the audit.

If using a team audit they will be consistent

with each other and the frequencies of how

often inspections will take place.

Audit

Services

Once the information is collated to agreed

parameters then we begin processing the results.

We investigate any reasons for failure to

determine if they are operative failure, materials

failure, equipment failure, failure of the fabric of

the structure, failure of the cleaning specification.

The analysing of the results will determine how to

act in correcting/preventing failures.
