CQC GP Surgery Cleaning Gainsborough
Frustrated With Inconsistent Cleaning at Your GP Surgery
If you're constantly chasing cleaners, spotting missed areas, or worrying about inspections, you're not alone. Many practices feel let down by providers who overpromise and underdeliver, putting hygiene, compliance, and patient trust at risk. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we specialise in solving these exact problems. Our trained, DBS-checked teams follow structured cleaning plans backed by daily audits, clear communication, and full CQC alignment. If you're ready for a cleaning service that actually does what it says it will click below to see how we can help.
The surgery had problems with high staff turnover from their old cleaning contractor, meaning new cleaners were on site every week. We assigned a dedicated, low-turnover team of DBS-vetted staff who became familiar with the surgery’s needs. Management highlighted that consistency built trust and made it far easier to maintain hygiene standards.

With a 100% success rate in supporting Gainsborough GP surgeries through inspections, the Platinum Plan offers not just a cleaner practice but also total peace of mind, ensuring your environment remains safe, audit-ready, and fully NHS-aligned.
Cleaning Operatives You Can Trust
Our uniformed cleaning operatives are background-checked, DBS-vetted, and have signed confidentiality agreements to protect your patients and practice. Each team member receives ongoing, role-specific training tailored to healthcare environments, including cleaning procedures aligned with Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. You can rely on our team to work discreetly, professionally, and in full compliance with the strict requirements of medical cleaning.
Bespoke, Area-Specific Cleaning Plan
We'll work directly with your Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) lead to develop a bespoke cleaning plan tailored to the specific layout and risk profile of your facility. Each area will be assigned a functional risk category, with cleaning frequencies and methods aligned to NHS guidance. The plan is built using examples from the National Patient Safety Agency, the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, and the NHS guidance on setting and measuring cleaning performance outcomes for primary care, dental, and medical premises. You'll have a clear, auditable cleaning framework that supports CQC compliance and keeps your practice safe and inspection-ready.
Transparent Cleaning Schedules and Audit Access
You'll have full visibility of your daily cleaning schedules and audit results through a secure VIP link and password, accessible from any device at any time. This digital portal is designed with busy practice managers in mind, offering a hassle-free way to monitor standards, review completed tasks, and stay informed without having to chase paperwork or email updates.
All technical and efficacy audits are securely archived in your Practice Handbook, alongside printed versions of daily schedules, checklists, and any corrective actions taken. This dual-record system ensures you're always inspection-ready, with a full, traceable cleaning history to demonstrate your CQC and IPC compliance at a moment's notice. Whether it's preparing for an audit or reviewing a specific date's activity, everything you need is at your fingertips.
Complete Documentation for Full CQC Compliance
At Clean Sweep Commercial, we equip every GP surgery with two key resources to keep your site organised, compliant, and inspection-ready: the Compliance Handbook and the Audit & Performance Logbook. The Compliance Handbook includes everything required to meet NHS and CQC standards, from Risk Assessments and Method Statements to cleaning schedules, training records, DBS checks, confidentiality agreements, insurance documents, and up-to-date COSHH data sheets. It's a one-stop reference for your infection control lead and inspectors alike. The Audit & Performance Logbook records your daily cleaning checks, technical audits, efficacy reviews, deep cleaning history, and floorcare schedules, ensuring a clear, dated cleaning activity trail matching your agreed plan.
Yearly Deep Clean, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
The Platinum CQC-Compliant Cleaning Package includes comprehensive deep cleaning every 12 months, along with routine carpet and upholstery cleaning every six months. These measures are vital for meeting the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 and upholding rigorous IPC control across your Gainsborough facility.
We conduct a thorough top-to-bottom clean across all risk zones, including skirting boards, behind equipment, and fixtures, while also treating carpets and upholstery in patient-facing and staff areas. All cleaning is done using NHS-compliant antimicrobial products, reducing HCAI risks and enhancing indoor hygiene. Every clean is recorded in your Audit & Performance Logbook, providing peace of mind that your facility is CQC inspection-ready 365 days a year.
Cleaning Chemicals & Equipment That Meet NHS Standards
We use hospital-grade cleaning chemicals and follow strict colour-coded equipment protocols to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between clinical and non-clinical areas. All vacuum cleaners are fitted with HEPA-FLO filtration bags, effectively capturing fine dust, allergens, and airborne pathogens. Our team operates with single-use mop heads and disposable cleaning cloths to reduce infection risk, and all equipment is PAT tested regularly to ensure safe operation. Full COSHH data sheets, usage logs, and equipment checklists are included in your Practice Compliance Handbook, which aligns with NHS Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) guidance and the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness. This approach ensures your surgery remains safe, compliant, and consistently hygienic.
This practice treated many vulnerable patients, and there was concern about the spread of infection in the waiting areas. We introduced a daily out-of-hours cleaning plan with hospital-grade disinfectants, touchpoint sanitisation, and germicidal floor care. Staff reported that it noticeably improved patient confidence, with a decrease in hygiene-related complaints.

Get Compliant With the New 2025 NHS Cleanliness Standards
A low star rating under the 2025 National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness can cause serious problems for your practice. It often leads to increased CQC scrutiny, including surprise inspections, compliance action plans, and added pressure on already stretched staff.
It also damages patient trust. In today's environment, poor cleanliness scores can drive patients to register elsewhere and tarnish your surgery's reputation both online and in the community.
There are financial risks, too. Consistently low scores may impact funding, contract renewals, or eligibility for service expansions, especially where NHS commissioners are involved.
Most importantly, low ratings often reflect real issues like missed cleaning tasks or poor infection control, increasing the risk of infections, complaints, and legal exposure.
In short, a poor rating doesn't just cost you a reputation; it costs time, money, and peace of mind.
Achieving the Highest Standards of Cleanliness in your GP Surgery
Maintaining high levels of cleanliness is crucial for GP surgeries in Gainsborough, and regular audits play a vital role in ensuring consistent hygiene standards. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we conduct three types of audits daily: technical, efficacy, and compliance audits to give you complete confidence in your cleaning regime. Daily audits confirm that scheduled tasks are being completed as planned. Technical audits review how chemicals, equipment, and procedures are being used. Efficacy audits, typically conducted annually, assess the overall impact of the cleaning programme. Together, these layers of inspection ensure your surgery stays compliant, hygienic, and inspection-ready at all times.
Trackable, Auditable GP Cleaning with Sentinel
Clean Sweep Commercial’s proprietary cloud-based auditing system, Sentinel, ensures every clean is fully tracked and verified. Your supervisor logs in on-site via our app, capturing the time, date, and GPS location, which is then fed directly into your daily cleaning audit. Each area is assigned a risk category with a colour-coded schedule outlining exactly what needs to be cleaned and how often it needs to be done. Photos are taken for proof, QR codes are scanned for confirmation, and daily reports are accessible via a secure VIP link from any device. Hard copies are also stored in your Practice Handbook for inspection readiness. Sentinel doesn’t just record cleaning; it proves it, keeping you fully compliant and always audit-ready.
Ensuring Safe Standards Through Technical Audits
Technical audits play a key role in maintaining high cleaning standards within healthcare settings. By conducting audits at random times and on varied days, we get an accurate picture of performance, not just when teams are expecting it. Each area is scored against a defined safe standard, ensuring protocols are followed, and results are consistently thorough. Regular technical audits not only help confirm cleaners are delivering to standard but also support a safe, efficient, and well-managed cleaning operation across your practice.
Why Efficacy Audits Are Essential in GP Surgery Cleaning
An efficacy audit is a critical management tool that ensures cleaning procedures consistently meet Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and health and safety standards. These audits give GP surgeries clear visibility into the quality and compliance of their cleaning operations. Our supervisors observe the cleaning staff in real time, verifying correct colour coding, appropriate chemical use, approved cleaning techniques, and PPE compliance. We also assess how well training and safe working methods are applied, helping your practice remain inspection-ready and clinically safe at all times.
A Gainsborough surgery needed proper RAMS, COSHH, and insurance documentation to satisfy CQC requirements, but their previous provider couldn’t supply it. Clean Sweep delivered a full compliance pack alongside Sentinel™-tracked cleaning. The practice manager said inspections became far easier because everything was “in black and white and fully auditable.”
