Local points to consider
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Working hours
Most Durham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Frequency
Most units need a deep clean every one to two years; kitchens and salons more often.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Durham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
