Professional Distribution Centre & Logistics Cleaning Scotland

Distribution centre floors are the highest-wear, highest-risk surfaces in any logistics facility — forklift traffic, MHE movement, HGV loading, pallet handling, hydraulic spills, line-marking wear, and dust from packaging and product all leave their mark within a single shift. Our floor protocol uses ride-on sweepers and scrubber-dryers for large open areas, walk-behind equipment for tight corners and racking aisles, and periodic deep scrub and reseal for epoxy or painted concrete — delivered to a forklift-safe, slip-hazard-free standard every visit.

• Intensive Floor Scrubbing— Removing heavy tire marks, grease, and grime to prevent slip hazards and ensure smooth machinery movement. Ride-on scrubber-dryers (Tennant, Karcher) tackle large open dock floors at 2,000m²/hour; walk-behind machines handle tight corners and racking aisles. Oil and hydraulic spills degreased and neutralised, line markings kept visible (we flag when they need repainting), and the floor maintained to a forklift-safe standard — no debris to damage tyres, no slip hazards, no obscured walkway markings.
• Refurbishment Services— Professional restoration of floor coatings to extend the life of your facility’s foundation. Periodic deep scrub and reseal for epoxy, polyurethane, or painted concrete; line-marking refresh for pedestrian walkways, forklift exclusion zones, and dispatch lane markings; scrubber-dryer runs scheduled around dock activity (early-morning pre-shift for outbound, mid-shift lulls for inbound, end-of-shift deep for both). The single most cost-effective intervention to extend DC floor life and reduce MHE tyre wear.

The high-level surfaces in any distribution facility — high-bay racking, rafters, ductwork, ventilation systems, silos, controlled-environment storage — are the surfaces most cleaners skip, and the ones that carry the greatest compliance risk. Combustible dust on high racking is a real HSE concern (and a real fire risk); dust buildup in HVAC and refrigeration systems clogs filters, reduces efficiency, and contaminates product; silos and confined spaces require certified safety protocols. Our technical storage protocol uses HEPA-filtered industrial vacuums, IPAF-operated scissor lifts and boom lifts, and certified confined-space entry teams.

• Racking Cleaning— Meticulous dusting and debris removal from storage systems to improve air quality and prevent stock contamination. High-bay racking (8–12m tall) and beam levels dusted using extension poles, vacuum systems with extension tubes, or scissor lifts and cherry pickers where needed (IPAF 3a, 3b, 1b certified operators). Dust removed from beam tops, uprights, and pallet locations — critical for product quality (especially food, pharma, electronics) and fire safety. HEPA-filtered industrial vacuums used to prevent dust redistribution; we never use compressed air (it redistributes dust and creates explosion risk in some dust classes). Quarterly rota so the whole DC is dusted; risk assessment, Method Statement, and permit to work provided for each high-racking clean.
• Confined Space Specialist Cleans— Technical expertise for silos and restricted areas that require certified safety protocols. CRN-trained operatives for confined-space entry with standalone atmospheric monitoring, gas detection, escape sets, and rescue plans; permit-to-work documentation and method statements provided for each confined-space clean. Silos, hoppers, tank internals, ductwork internals, and restricted-access areas cleaned to food-grade (BRCGS), pharmaceutical-grade (MHRA), or general industrial standard as appropriate. Entry teams briefed on your site’s lockout/tagout procedures and rescue protocols before any entry is made.
• Clean Room Decontamination— Specialized cleaning for controlled environments, delivering the high standards required for pharmaceutical or medical research facilities. Where your DC operation includes clean rooms, controlled-environment storage, or medical/pharma fulfilment zones, we deploy dedicated clean-room protocols: non-shedding cloths, sterile mops, validated disinfectants (sporicidal where required), HEPA-filtered vacuums, dedicated colour-coded equipment, and gowning protocols to match your clean-room classification. Documented in every cleaning log, audit-ready for MHRA, FDA, and GMP inspections.

The amenity and operational zones inside a distribution facility — staff washrooms, canteens, locker rooms, supervisor offices, goods-in offices, picker workstations, break rooms — are the spaces your workforce spends their breaks in, and the spaces visiting auditors, retailers, and HSE inspectors will judge first. A dirty staff washroom or a stained office carpet undermines morale, recruitment, retention, and audit outcomes in ways that are hard to recover. Our amenity protocol uses EN 1276-certified bactericides, EN 14476 virucidal disinfectants, and colour-coded cloths to deliver a uniform, audit-grade standard across every welfare zone — every visit, on schedule, signed off in the cleaning log.

• Workstation & Office Sanitization— Thorough cleaning of logistics office zones and workstations to keep germs and bugs at bay. Supervisor offices, meeting rooms, goods-in offices, picking desks, and pack-station worktops are sanitised top-to-bottom: desks damp-wiped with a pH-neutral sanitiser, keyboards and mice sanitised with 70% IPA wipes (never spray), monitors wiped with an alcohol-free anti-static screen cleaner, phones and headsets sanitised, drawer fronts and chair arms detailed, and floors vacuumed and mopped. High-touch points (door handles, light switches, time-clock keypads, locker handles, vending machine buttons) treated with EN 14476 virucidal disinfectant with a verified 60-second contact time. Reduce seasonal colds, flu, and norovirus among your shift — documented in every cleaning log.
• Often-Missed Details— Our cleaners meticulously wipe visible skirting boards, door frames, and entry systems in communal staff areas as part of our standard service. Skirting boards, door frames, architraves, switch plates, handrails, time-clock keypads, locker handles, fire-extinguisher brackets, and entry-system keypads in staff welfare zones, offices, and canteens are damp-wiped with a pH-neutral sanitiser; ceiling light fixtures, air-conditioning vents, and extractor grilles are dusted with extendable HEPA-filtered attachments (we don’t just brush the dust back into the air); cable trays, picture frames, and notice-board trims are wiped down. These are the details that turn a “cleaned” DC into a “speechlessly spotless” one.
