Clean Shield

What Clean Shield does

Clean Shield Professional Ltd is a privately held, founder-led commercial cleaning services company headquartered in Gloucester, United Kingdom. The company provides a comprehensive portfolio of cleaning services targeting commercial clients across Gloucestershire and adjacent areas, including Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, Stroud, Tewkesbury, and the Forest of Dean. Founded by Managing Director Kathy Price in the early 1990s, Clean Shield serves more than 300 commercial spaces and maintains 250+ regular clients, with reported staff headcount of 51–100 employees. The company is structured around a vertical segmentation model spanning offices, healthcare facilities (doctors, dentists, vets), schools and colleges, property management, government contracts, and specialist end-markets including biohazard decontamination, end-of-tenancy cleaning, and elderly support services.

The company's core service offering comprises routine scheduled commercial cleaning (daily/weekly contracts), specialist deep cleaning using the proprietary Texatherm carpet cleaning system, hard floor maintenance (scrubbing, re-polishing, steam cleaning), healthcare-grade sanitisation, and certified biohazard decontamination. Underlying technology is conventional cleaning equipment supplemented by the Texatherm system (for carpet extraction) and certified biohazard handling protocols; SafeContractor health and safety accreditation (Alcumus, since 2015 and renewed through 2025) and a Certified Biohazard credential underpin the company's compliance positioning. Operational infrastructure includes a six-vehicle mobile fleet and a multi-tier team structure (Managing Director, Operations Manager, Area Managers, Mobile Supervisors, Mobile Cleaners, and an Administration Apprentice), supported by NVQ-qualified staff trained to HABC Level 2 in Cleaning & Support Service Skills.

The revenue model is exclusively professional services delivered under three streams: recurring commercial cleaning contracts (monthly billing on custom quotes), one-off or periodic specialist jobs (carpet, floor, biohazard, end-of-tenancy) priced per project, and flexible agency cleaning staff supply. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; example published rates include £60 for a large lounge carpet and £108 for a three-room carpet clean. Go-to-market is direct sales-led via a website quote request form, two dedicated regional phone lines (Gloucester and Cheltenham), and email outreach, with marketing activity concentrated on a WordPress blog, Facebook, and Twitter/X. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no acquisition activity.
