National Cleaning Services

What National Cleaning Services does

National Cleaning Services (trading as Nat Clean) is a family-owned commercial cleaning services provider headquartered in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Founded in 1918, the company operates with a disclosed headcount of approximately 8 employees and has maintained continuous trading for over a century. Its service portfolio spans eight categories: commercial window cleaning (using a water fed pole system capable of reaching 80 feet without ladders), residential window cleaning, office cleaning, carpet cleaning, facia and canopy cleaning, pressure washing (using bio-friendly chemicals), rental property cleaning, and tiered builders cleans (Full, Mid, and Sparkle). The company's underlying technology is mechanical and process-based — purified-water pole systems, ECO-friendly cleaning solutions, and standard professional equipment — rather than software-driven.
