Student Accommodation Cleaning Services

Professional, Reliable Cleaning for Student Residences Across Glasgow and the Central Belt

At Platinum Contracts, we understand the unique demands of student accommodation cleaning. High turnover, tight schedules and the need for consistently high standards mean these properties require a specialist approach. With over 50 years of combined experience across commercial and residential cleaning, we provide a seamless service designed for student accommodation providers, property managers and maintenance teams who need a dependable partner to keep their properties spotless and ready for the next tenants.

We’ve worked in this sector before, previously subcontracting for large-scale student accommodation providers. Now, with our team’s scale, systems and proven reliability, we’re looking to partner directly with private student accommodation providers and estate teams who value efficiency, accountability and professional results.

A Complete Cleaning Solution for Student Properties

Student accommodation cleaning isn’t like a typical domestic job. Each property must be turned around quickly, often within a narrow window at the end of term, while meeting high hygiene and presentation standards for incoming students. Our service is designed to take care of everything, so property owners and managers can focus on occupancy, not logistics.

Our full service approach includes:

End-of-Tenancy Cleans
When students move out, our team steps in to reset the property. We handle everything from deep cleaning bedrooms and bathrooms to communal kitchens, lounges, and hallways. Every surface, fixture and appliance is cleaned to a professional standard, ensuring properties are ready for inspection, photography or immediate re-let.

Full Deep Cleans
Where accommodation requires a more intensive service, we provide thorough deep cleans that go beyond surface-level tidying. This includes descaling bathrooms, sanitising kitchens, steam cleaning hard floors and restoring carpets and soft furnishings to their best possible condition.

Pre-Arrival & Mid-Term Cleaning
First impressions matter. We ensure every room feels fresh and welcoming for new students by cleaning all touchpoints, windows and shared areas. For longer-term contracts, we also provide scheduled mid-term cleans to maintain high hygiene standards throughout the academic year.

Post-Renovation Cleaning
Many accommodation blocks undergo refurbishments during the summer months. Our specialist post-renovation cleans remove construction dust, paint splashes, plaster residue and debris, leaving the property clean, safe and ready for occupancy.

What We Clean

Our student accommodation cleaning service covers all key areas and items within each property. Common tasks include:

• Bedrooms: dusting, vacuuming, sanitising desks, wardrobes, and mirrors

• Bathrooms: descaling, disinfecting toilets, sinks, tiles, and shower areas

• Kitchens: cleaning ovens, hobs, microwaves, fridges, and extraction units

• Living Areas: cleaning sofas, tables, floors, and windows

• Hallways and Communal Areas: mopping, wiping skirting boards, and removing rubbish

• Upholstery and Carpets: vacuuming, spot-cleaning, and stain removal

• Windows and Frames: interior and exterior cleaning (where accessible)

• High-Touch Areas: sanitising switches, door handles, and railings

We also offer mattress and sofa cleaning, oven deep cleans, and window and UPVC frame cleaning as part of our full-service packages.

With a combined 50 years of experience across commercial, residential and specialist cleaning, Platinum Contracts has built a reputation for reliability and high standards. We’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, from property developers and estate agents to commercial sites, serviced apartments and retail fit-outs. This breadth of experience allows us to adapt seamlessly to the fast-paced requirements of student accommodation cleaning.

Direct Contracts, Not Subcontracting

We’ve previously supported student accommodation providers through subcontracted work. Now, we’re ready to take on direct contracts, offering the same trusted service but with greater flexibility, accountability and communication. Working directly with us means one point of contact, transparent pricing and faster responses.

Flexible Scheduling

We know that student move-out and move-in dates are time-critical, especially in May, June, and September. Our team is fully equipped to handle large-scale projects within tight timeframes. We plan around your academic calendar, ensuring every room, corridor and communal area is cleaned and inspected on schedule.

Fully Accredited and Insured

Platinum Contracts is SafeContractor accredited, with comprehensive insurance that covers all eventualities. All of our staff are disclosure-checked and sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), ensuring professionalism, confidentiality and compliance with your site’s access and data security requirements.

Consistent Standards

Every clean is carried out under our Platinum Promise, our guarantee that any issue will be rectified the same day. Every property is itemised within our quotation and sign-off process, so nothing is missed and every clean can be tracked and verified.

Supporting Maintenance and Facilities Teams

We work closely with maintenance managers, property teams and facilities coordinators to integrate cleaning around their operations. Whether it’s preparing properties after maintenance work or cleaning in coordination with inspection schedules, our team works around you, not the other way around.

Our systems make it easy to book, track and confirm cleans across multiple properties, ensuring clarity and accountability for every site. We also provide tailored reporting where required, giving you visibility of completed work and scheduled cleans.

Health, Safety and Hygiene

Student accommodations experience high traffic and frequent use of shared facilities, making hygiene a priority. Our cleaning processes use approved, effective products that remove bacteria, mould and allergens without harsh chemical residues. This not only ensures a safer environment for students but also helps reduce maintenance issues like odour, staining and long-term material damage.

We’re also committed to environmental responsibility, using eco-friendly products wherever possible and ensuring all waste is disposed of responsibly.
