Project Snapshot

Client: Hatfield Road Doctors’ Surgery (St Albans)
Service: Healthcare / Post-works Clean (non-clinical waste)
Property Type: General Practice (GP) medical centre
Team & Duration: 6 cleaners over 1 day (adjust if needed)
Objective: Deliver a thorough, hygienic clean across front-of-house and clinical areas to support safe patient use and inspections.

Setting the Scene: St Albans’ Busy Hatfield Road

Located on one of St Albans’ main thoroughfares, the Hatfield Road surgery serves a high volume of patients daily. That means floors, touchpoints, and waiting spaces experience heavy footfall and require a meticulous, methodical cleaning approach that respects healthcare protocols and minimises disruption for staff and patients.

The Brief

Provide a coordinated clean across reception, waiting rooms, corridors, treatment/consultation rooms, and staff areas—with particular attention to dust from recent minor works, smudging on glazing/partitions, and high-touch sanitisation to support infection-control standards.

Challenges We Solved

Healthcare protocols: Colour-coded cleaning, COSHH compliance, and safe systems of work.
High touchpoints: Doors, seating arms, counters, card machines, rails, and washroom fixtures.
Operational continuity: Working around staff schedules and maintaining clear routes.
Glass & partitions: Smears and dust on internal glazing and privacy screens.

Our Approach (Step-by-Step)

Induction & zoning: Walkthrough with the practice manager; building divided into zones with checklists and sequence to reduce re-contamination.
Top-down dust control: HEPA-filtered vacuuming of vents, ledges, and fixtures; damp microfibre for shelves and equipment exteriors.
High-touch sanitisation: EN-standard disinfectants on door furniture, counters, seating arms, switches, handrails, and lift buttons (if applicable).
Glass & screens: Streak-free clean of reception glazing, room partitions, and internal windows.
Floors: Multi-pass vacuuming, then damp mopping with neutral detergents appropriate to the floor type; spot treatment where needed.
Washrooms & staff areas: Descale and sanitise taps/sinks; restock where requested; ensure odour-free finish.
Final QC “sparkle”: Supervisor walkthrough to catch settling dust and fingerprints; sign-off with practice contact.

Scope & Safety

Included: Non-clinical cleaning of patient-facing areas, treatment/consultation rooms (external surfaces), staff rooms, corridors, and washrooms.
Excluded: Handling of sharps, clinical waste, or invasive equipment; any tasks requiring clinical decontamination protocols are managed by surgery procedures.
Compliance: Colour-coded cleaning, COSHH-compliant products, PAT-tested equipment, RAMS available on request.

Results

Hygienic and patient-ready: Waiting and consultation spaces presented to a consistent, professional standard.
Clear glazing & bright finish: Internal glass and partitions left smear-free for a calm, clean feel.
Happy client: Surgery team satisfied with timing, coordination, and quality checks.
