Commercial cleaning in Edinburgh: offices, shops and workspaces
Tell Edinburgh providers about your office, shop or studio, add photos or a walkthrough video, and compare the quotes they send. You choose who comes in, on price and on reviews from paid jobs.
Free to request. No obligation to book.

Three things that get you an accurate quote first time.
Commercial jobs are priced by each provider from your brief. The better the brief, the closer the quotes are to each other and to the real job.
- 1
The space
What it is (office, shop, studio, communal areas), the approximate floor area, and how many rooms, toilets and kitchens there are.
- 2
The job
A one-off deep clean, a pre-opening clean, a post-event clean, or what you’d want done on each visit. Add your opening hours and when the work can happen.
- 3
Photos or a short video
The request form takes both. A 60-second walkthrough of the premises beats a paragraph of description.
Not sure it can be priced from photos? Ask for an in-person visit. Your first visit for a job is free (one free visit per postcode every 7 days), and a quote after a visit stays valid for up to 3 months.
Quotes you can compare. Providers you can choose.
Traditional contract cleaning works one way: one company, one price, a long term, and whoever they send that week. When quality slips, your only lever is the contract.
Cleanifiq works differently. You send one brief, independent providers and small local companies quote for it, and you decide who comes in. If the first provider isn’t right, the next job can go to someone else.
Several quotes, one brief
Each provider quotes the same description, and each has a public rating and reviews from paid jobs.
You choose who comes in
Profiles show completed jobs and reviews, not a sales pitch. Rebook the provider you liked.
Everything on the record
The quote, the scope and every message go through the platform. If there’s a disagreement, that record resolves it.
Invoices that suit a business
On a paid business plan, each job is invoiced after completion on 30-day terms. On the free Marketplace account you pay per job at checkout, like a private customer. Many providers are sole traders or small firms below the VAT threshold, so there’s often no VAT on their invoices.
If it isn’t right
- Tell us within 48 hours of the job, with photos or a short video of what isn’t right. Your provider gets 48 working hours to come back and put it right at no cost to you, and we hold their payment until it’s settled. If they can’t or won’t, you choose: the value of the unfinished items back as a refund or Cleanifiq credit, or a new, smaller job for just those items with another provider (you see the price before confirming anything).
Honest limit: specialist industrial, clinical or biohazard cleaning isn’t quoted through this page. Those jobs need a conversation first: call sales on 0141 846 7777 or book a call.
Free to request. No contract, no minimum term.

Compare price, reviews and availability, then book one.

Job done, then paid
You’re invoiced on a paid business plan, or the payment you made at checkout is released to the provider.
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Edinburgh?
Commercial jobs are quoted by each provider from your brief, so there’s no price list and we don’t publish an average: there aren’t yet enough commercial jobs on Cleanifiq to make one honest.
The price depends on the floor area, how many toilets and kitchens there are, the condition, and when the work can happen. Each provider sets a minimum call-out.
What affects the price
- Floor area and number of rooms
- Toilets and kitchens: the slowest rooms to do well
- Condition, and how long since the last proper clean
- When the work can happen (evenings and weekends can cost more; providers set any weekend fee)
- Access, parking and loading
Why quotes differ
Providers set their own rates and size the job differently: a team of two for one evening, or one person over two. Compare the scope and the time each quote assumes, not only the total.
Protected from request to sign-off.
Your payment is held
You choose at checkout: pay a deposit (20% of the job, or the provider’s minimum call-out fee if that’s higher) or pay in full. If you pay a deposit, the balance is due by 7:30am on the day of the job. Your money goes to Cleanifiq, not the provider, and release to the provider starts the day after the job, once they’ve completed it on the platform.
Not right? Tell us within 48 hours
Tell us within 48 hours of the job, with photos or a short video of what isn’t right. Your provider gets 48 working hours to come back and put it right at no cost to you, and we hold their payment until it’s settled. If they can’t or won’t, you choose: the value of the unfinished items back as a refund or Cleanifiq credit, or a new, smaller job for just those items with another provider (you see the price before confirming anything).
Checked before they quote
Before a provider can take bookings we check photo ID, proof of address and public liability insurance, plus a criminal record check (Basic Disclosure Scotland or equivalent) and right to work where it applies. For companies we check a director’s ID, the business address, public liability insurance and Companies House status. Documents with expiry dates are re-checked when they expire. Every review on a provider’s profile comes from a booked, paid job. Cleanifiq’s insurance covers a new provider’s first three jobs while their own cover is being verified.
Keep it on the platform
Always pay through Cleanifiq, including for anything added on the day. Work paid for privately falls outside our guarantee, our insurance and our dispute resolution.
Old buildings, tight windows.
A lot of Edinburgh business premises sit in buildings that were never designed for a cleaning trolley. Give providers the details that affect the time.
Stair-only access
Old Town and New Town premises often have stair-only access and narrow doorways. Say so in the brief so quotes include the time to carry equipment up and down.
Loading and parking
Most of central Edinburgh is a controlled parking zone, and loading is time-limited on many streets. Tell providers where they can unload and for how long.
Early days for commercial
We don’t have a track record of commercial jobs in Edinburgh yet. Providers who already clean homes here may quote for smaller premises; for anything large, ask for a visit.

Commercial Cleaning in Edinburgh: your questions
- Tell us when the work can happen when you request quotes, and providers quote for those times. Evenings and weekends can cost more; each provider sets any weekend fee.
- On a paid business plan, each job is invoiced after completion on 30-day terms. On the free Marketplace account you pay per job at checkout, like a private customer.
- Say when the work can happen and when loading is allowed on your street. Providers quote for those times; early mornings, evenings and weekends can cost more, and each provider sets any weekend fee themselves.
- For jobs that need seeing first, some providers offer an in-person visit. Your first visit for a job is free (one free visit per postcode every 7 days); a second provider’s visit fee is shown before you book it and refunded if they cancel. A quote given after a visit is valid for up to 3 months. Paid business plans include more in-person visit quotes per job.
