Introduction

During the summer period, many commercial sites see a natural dip in activity. Whether due to staff holidays, scheduled shutdowns, or lighter workloads, this quieter window creates the ideal conditions for planned cleaning work to take place.

The SSH Group has supported clients across offices, industrial sites, and multi-use commercial buildings with targeted summer cleans, focused on areas that are often missed during regular cleaning or inaccessible during peak hours.

Pain Points Addressed

We’ve found that clients most commonly use the summer period to address issues such as:

• Dust and debris buildup in less-accessible or high-level areas (e.g. ductwork, pipework, roof spaces)
• Odour and hygiene concerns in kitchens, washrooms, or plant rooms left unaddressed during the busier months
• External areas affected by dirt, staining, or moss accumulation due to weather and footfall

These issues may not present as emergencies, but left unresolved, they can affect compliance, safety, and day-to-day operations.

The Solution

This summer, our teams delivered a range of site-specific cleans, including:

• High-level ducting and external pipework cleaning for a large industrial workshop in London, improving internal air quality and safety.
• Kitchen deep cleans across multiple commercial sites, including grease extraction points and canopy filters, completed during quiet shifts or out-of-hours
• Pressure washing and exterior cleaning of roofing and cladding on facilities, preparing for autumn works or site visits

Each project was scoped to fit around the client’s operations, often taking place outside of working hours or during planned downtime.

Results

By scheduling this work during the summer period, our clients benefited from:

• Minimal disruption to operations, with work completed during quieter hours or shutdown periods
• Improved visual presentation of external areas before key inspections or project handovers
• Safer, cleaner environments heading into the second half of the year

For one client, a summer clean also helped identify a minor drainage issue early, preventing a potential odour complaint or emergency repair later in the year.

Conclusion

If your site experiences a seasonal slowdown, now is the time to carry out deeper cleaning work with minimal operational impact. The SSH Group offers a range of flexible cleaning services to help you get ahead of issues, not just react to them.
