Commercial cleaning should be professional, transparent, and genuinely accountable. We've spent over a decade making that the standard.
Clean Bees was founded in Bristol in 2014 by a husband and wife team who saw a gap in the market. Not for another cleaning company, but for a different kind of cleaning company — one that operated with genuine professionalism, clear communication, and a standard of service that commercial clients could actually rely on.
The gap they identified was straightforward: too many cleaning contracts were won on price and lost on delivery. Clients had little visibility of what was actually happening on their sites, teams were inconsistent, and accountability was vague.
The founders believed there was a better way to run a cleaning business, and set about building it.
Over a decade on, Clean Bees has grown into one of Bristol's established commercial cleaning companies — serving offices, schools, healthcare settings, residential blocks, and more across the city and the wider South West. The founding principles have not changed: professional service, transparent delivery, and a team that takes pride in the work.
Today Clean Bees employs over 60 cleaning operatives, all directly employed on proper contracts and paid above the minimum wage. We do not use agency staff or subcontractors — every person working on your site is part of our team, managed by us, and accountable to us.
The past two years have seen significant investment in the systems, processes, and technology that underpin how we deliver our service. We've developed structured training programmes, built operational processes that keep standards consistent across every site, and created our own purpose-built client portal that gives commercial clients real-time visibility of every clean through photo evidence and timestamped completion logs.
These are not just internal improvements. They translate directly into a better, more accountable service for our clients, and a cleaning company that operates with the kind of transparency that was missing from the market when we started.
These are the principles we run the business by — and how we show up for clients across every site, every visit, every contract.
Every cleaning operative is directly employed. No zero-hours contracts, no agency workers, no subcontractors. Paid above minimum wage and treated as the foundation of the business.
We invest continuously in training — not just cleaning techniques but the requirements of the environments our team work in, including safeguarding, infection control, and compliance documentation.
We built our client portal so clients get proof, not promises. Every clean logged, every task photographed, every visit timestamped, and visible through a secure portal.
We use eco-conscious cleaning products across our services — effective for clients and better for the environments we work in.
Our operational processes are built around consistency: the same standards on every site and every visit. That consistency is what long-term relationships are built on.
We're a Bristol company. Our team is based here, our clients are here, and we've been part of the Bristol business community for over ten years.
“Really impressed with Clean Bees. We hired them for a builders clean and the standard of work was excellent. They tackled everything from top to bottom and the results were spot on. A reliable, professional team — wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a post-build clean in Bristol.”
“We've been extremely impressed with the cleaning service. The team is reliable, thorough, and consistently delivers a high standard. Communication is excellent, and the added reporting system with photos gives great peace of mind that everything is being completed properly.”
“We've been using Clean Bees for our office cleaning in Bristol for several months and the difference has been huge. The team are always consistent and professional. The client portal — being able to see photo evidence and task completion after each clean — means we never have to chase or wonder if everything has been done.”

Yes. All our cleaning operatives are DBS checked before working on any client site. This is standard across every contract.

Our client portal is a purpose-built system, developed in-house to provide real-time visibility of every clean with photo evidence and timestamps through secure client login access.
We are based in Bristol and cover Bristol and the surrounding region including Bath, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and Weston-super-Mare.
