Switching Cleaners Without the Headaches

TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) may sound like legal red tape, and it can be, if not handled correctly. But when you’re changing cleaning providers at your Newark GP surgery, you don’t have to deal with the mess yourself.

At Clean Sweep Commercial, we’ve managed TUPE transitions for over 20 years. We are aware of the pitfalls, we understand the process, and most importantly, we know how to do it with minimal disruption to your surgery.

What TUPE Means for Your Surgery

In simple terms, TUPE protects the rights of cleaning staff when their employment is transferred to a new company. That means if your current cleaning team is outsourced and you change providers, those cleaners may legally transfer over to the new company (i.e., us).

Handled well, it’s seamless. Poorly managed, it’s stressful.

We treat all incoming staff fairly and professionally, vetting, retraining, and re-onboarding them to meet NHS standards and your surgery’s expectations. If they’re not suitable, we handle that too.

We Respect People—But Standards Come First

We understand that some surgeries worry about “inheriting” the same issues under a different name. That’s not how we operate.

Every TUPE case is assessed on merit. We identify who is suitable to stay, who requires retraining, and where new DBS-vetted staff should be introduced to meet your infection control standards.

You’re not just swapping logos; you’re getting a complete service upgrade.

A Structured, Transparent Transition

From day one, we provide your practice manager with:

• A complete TUPE compliance plan
• A clear timeline of actions and milestones
• Staff vetting and DBS re-checks
• Infection control training as required
• Direct communication with HR and current provider

We handle the tedious (but essential) tasks so you can focus on running a safe and effective surgery.

Why CQC Inspections Matter in Newark

When the Care Quality Commission (CQC) visits your Newark surgery, cleanliness isn't a side note; it's a core pillar of patient safety. A poor hygiene rating can negatively impact your practice's reputation, patient confidence, and even funding opportunities.

Yet many surgeries are still caught out by basic oversights, dusty vents, grimy corners, and non-compliant cleaning logs. The good news? That's entirely avoidable.

What Inspectors Look For

It's not just about wiping surfaces. CQC inspectors assess:

• Compliance with National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025
• Whether your cleaning staff follow colour coding, wear correct PPE, and use approved chemicals
• If there are clear records of cleaning schedules, audit trails, and corrective actions
• High-risk areas (waiting rooms, clinical rooms, toilets) meet hygiene benchmarks.

You don't need a team of auditors. You need a partner that knows what to do and never cuts corners.

Gainsborough Office Cleaning – Do You Know Who’s Cleaning Your Building?

Trust in the workplace is everything. You wouldn’t hand over your business accounts to a random stranger, so why let just anyone clean your office?

It’s time to take a closer look.

You Deserve to Know Who’s In Your Space

Too many businesses outsource cleaning to faceless agencies who send different staff each week. No names. No consistency. There is no real accountability.

That’s not how we do things at Clean Sweep Commercial.

Our uniformed, DBS-vetted staff are thoroughly background-checked, trained, and insured. You’ll know exactly who’s coming, when, and what they’ll be doing. Every visit is logged, photographed, and traceable.

What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

If you can’t answer that, you’re not adequately protected. Whether it’s damage, theft, or access control, your cleaners should be covered by valid insurance, and so should your business.

Clean Sweep Commercial holds full liability coverage, and our Sentinel digital audit trail ensures that every clean is recorded and verifiable.

We’re Not Just “the Cleaners”

We’re the ones who maintain hygiene, protect your staff’s health, and uphold your brand image. That role deserves professionalism and transparency.

In over 20 years of cleaning Gainsborough offices, we’ve never missed a clean and never compromised on integrity.
