Mould Cleaning

Tackling a mould problem properly needs professional know how.

Our mould remediation services are designed to give you a complete solution, covering everything from the initial inspection and mould testing right through to thorough removal and making sure it stays away for good. 


We're here to protect your property and keep your family safe and healthy.


Please get in touch and we can chat through your mould issues, answer your questions and discuss the options available to you.


You can read more about Mould in the article below.

Commercial Cleaning

Why Hiring a Professional Commercial Cleaning Company Makes Good Sense


When you're running a business, there's already enough on your plate without worrying about whether the loos are clean or the carpets need hoovering. 


Yet the state of your premises really does matter, more than you might think. 


That's where bringing in a professional commercial cleaning company can be an absolute game changer.


First Impressions Count for Everything


Whether you're welcoming customers into a shop, clients into your office, or diners into your restaurant, they're forming an opinion of your business before anyone's even said hello. 


Walk into a space that's spotless and fresh, and you immediately feel you're dealing with people who've got their act together. 


A grubby reception area or sticky floors? 


That's a different message entirely, and not one you want to be sending.


It's About More Than Just Looking Tidy


Professional commercial cleaners don't just make your place look presentable, they actually know what they're doing. 


They've got the proper training, the right equipment, and the specialist products that you probably don't have gathering dust in your supply cupboard. 


Those industrial carpet cleaners, the commercial grade sanitizers, the kit for reaching high windows; it all makes a genuine difference to the quality of clean you get.


Keeping Your Team Happy and Healthy


Let's face it, nobody comes to work dreaming about scrubbing toilets or emptying bins. 


When you've got professional cleaners taking care of the premises, your staff can focus on what you actually employ them to do. 


Plus, a properly cleaned workplace is a healthier one. 


Professional cleaners know how to properly eliminate germs, bacteria, and allergens that can lead to staff absences and lower productivity. 


Fewer sick days mean a happier, more productive team.


Consistency You Can Rely On


When cleaning gets squeezed in around everything else, standards inevitably slip. 


One busy week and suddenly the kitchen's a state, the bins are overflowing, and there's a suspicious smell coming from somewhere. 


Professional cleaning companies work to a schedule and a standard. 


You know exactly when they'll be there and exactly what they'll do. 


No more wondering whether anyone's remembered to clean the staff toilets or if the entrance area's been mopped.


Flexibility to Suit Your Business


Commercial cleaning companies understand that every business is different.


Perhaps you need someone in at different times of the day?


Maybe you want daily light cleaning with a deep clean once a month, or just a weekly service that covers everything? 


Good commercial cleaners will work around your schedule and your specific requirements, not the other way around.


Saving You Money in the Long Run


You might be thinking that hiring professional cleaners is an unnecessary expense, but it's worth looking at the bigger picture. 


Well-maintained carpets, floors, and fixtures last longer. 


Regular, professional, cleaning prevents the build-up of dirt and grime that causes permanent damage. 


That expensive flooring?


It'll stay looking good for years longer with proper care. 


Those upholstered chairs?


Regular professional cleaning stops them becoming shabby and stained. 


It's preventative maintenance that protects your investment in your premises.


Proper Insurance and Peace of Mind


When you hire a reputable commercial cleaning company, they come with the right insurance cover. 


If something gets damaged or there's an accident, you're protected. 


Try to save money by getting someone uninsured to do it cheaper, and you could end up seriously out of pocket if things go wrong. 


Professional companies also vet their staff properly, which matters when you're giving people access to your premises.


Health and Safety Compliance


There are regulations about workplace cleanliness and hygiene, particularly in certain industries like food service or healthcare. 


Professional commercial cleaners know these requirements inside out and ensure your business stays compliant. 


They use the right products in the right way, follow proper procedures, and keep records of what's been done. 


That's one less thing for you to worry about when the inspectors come calling.


Making Life Easier for You


Running a business is demanding enough without adding "manage the cleaning" to your to-do list. 


When you hire a professional company, they handle everything, ordering supplies, managing their staff, dealing with any issues that crop up. 


You've got one point of contact, one invoice, and the peace of mind that it's all taken care of. 


No more emergency dashes to buy toilet roll or arguments about whose turn it is to clean the microwave.


It Reflects Your Brand Values


Your premises are an extension of your brand. 


If you're selling luxury goods, offering professional services, or running a high end restaurant, a tatty, poorly cleaned space completely undermines your message. 


Professional commercial cleaning ensures your environment matches the quality you're trying to project. 


It shows you care about details and take pride in your business.


The Competitive Advantage


In a crowded marketplace, anything that gives you an edge matters. 


A beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean premises makes your business memorable for the right reasons. 


Customers notice, even if only subconsciously. (And your staff feel proud to walk in and work there).


Customers are more likely to return, more likely to recommend you, and more likely to spend money with you. 


It's not the only thing that matters, of course, but it's definitely part of the package.


Finding the Right Company


Not all cleaning companies are created equal, so it's worth doing your homework. 


Look for firms with good references, proper insurance, and ideally a company who understands what makes a business stand out through their own business experience.


A good commercial cleaning company will come and assess your premises, understand your requirements, and give you a clear quote with no hidden surprises. 


They should be responsive, reliable, and willing to adapt their service as your needs change.


At the end of the day, hiring a professional commercial cleaning company is about making your life easier, whilst ensuring your business looks and feels exactly how you want it to. 


It's an investment in your business's image, your staff's wellbeing, and ultimately your success. 


Let the professionals handle the cleaning while you focus on what you do best, running your business.

About Puffin Cleaning Services


It All Started From a Place of Frustration And Finding A Solution


We moved to beautiful North Devon in January 2024 and once settled in we wanted to find a cleaner as we both led busy work, family and social lives.


The problem? 


Trying to find a reliable, high-quality cleaning service was nearly impossible. 


We experienced inconsistent results, unreliable cleaners, and poor communication all of which left us frustrated


And after speaking with our new friends and neighbours, we found similar experiences and the feedback we had led them to feeling stressed, and feeling like they had to choose between a clean space or their valuable time.


Puffin Cleaning was born to change that.


Having run our own service based businesses for over 35 years, and decades of experience in cleaning, we are no strangers to trying to keep up with a full-time job, active lifestyle, and quality time with loved ones, while maintaining a clean home that felt like a constant battle. 


The juggling started to become overwhelming, and we knew we weren't alone.


We saw our new community was busy parents, the retired and semi retired, professionals, and business owners trying to balance it all. 


I knew firsthand the relief of walking into a spotless home, and I wanted to bring that feeling to others. That’s why I started Puffin Cleaning to give people their time and peace of mind back.


From the very beginning, Puffin Cleaning set out to be different.


We designed our service to solve the most frustrating pain points in the cleaning industry:


  • Consistency: Every clean is held to the same high standard, no matter the cleaning technician.

  • Reliability: On-call backups ensure your cleaning is never missed.

  • Professionalism & Communication: Our cleaners are trained, DBS checked, insured, friendly, and judgment free, plus, we keep you in the loop every step of the way.

  • A Better Experience for Everyone: We believe a great clean starts with a great workplace, so we treat our team with respect, reward them well, and create an environment where they take pride in their work.


We started slowly in 2024 with a small number of clients enabling us to understand the needs of clients in our new area.


We soon had a growing number of clients, cleaning their homes on a regular basis, plus a handful of commercial clients and holiday let turnovers.


Today, Puffin Cleaning has a mission to provide stress free, high quality cleaning so you can focus on what matters most.  Whether that’s running your business, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a fresh, spotless clean space.


Why name the business 'Puffin Cleaning Services'?


Simple, when we moved to North Devon we could see Lundy Island from the house we lived in. Lundy is famous for it's colony of Puffin birds that reside there.


Did you know that Puffins are very clean birds? 


They look after their burrow meticulously, with separate areas for living and keep their home spaces extremely clean.


This inspired our name 'Puffin Cleaning' as we are meticulous in our cleaning and have a pride in what we do for our clients.


And so, Puffin Cleaning Services was born.


Let us take the cleaning off your to do list, because your time is too valuable to waste.
