Contract Cleaning & Food Factory Hygiene

In-house food factory hygiene, delivered by one directly employed team

One contractor for your whole site

ACS Specialist Cleaning provides an end-to-end solution directly to you, delivered in-house by one directly employed team with no subcontractors. You get one point of contact, one standard of work and audited, measurable results for every job on your site, with minimal disruption to production.

Many other hygiene providers, from large facilities management companies to smaller hygiene firms, don’t supply directly to the client. They subcontract the more specialist work, which dilutes accountability for quality and service and adds to the overall cost.

Facilities and water hygiene

Hygiene doesn’t stop at the production floor. The water systems, tanks and drainage behind your production need looking after too, and they need to stay safe and compliant.

Our directly employed team covers these building services as part of the same contract, with the same standards and reporting as the rest of our work on your site.

Legionella compliance monitoring

Regular monitoring of your water systems to help you manage legionella risk and keep the records you need for compliance.

Effluent and water tank cleans

Cleaning of effluent systems and water storage tanks to keep them hygienic, working properly and ready for inspection.

Health, safety & environment

Protecting the people on your site and keeping you compliant with health and safety regulations. We provide the paperwork and support that goes with the cleaning, not just the clean itself.

Personal hygiene facility cleans: changing rooms, toilets and hand-wash areas kept to the standard a food site needs.
Risk assessments, SOPs and COSHH assessments: provided as part of our health, safety and environmental support for your site.
PPE supply: the right protective equipment for hygiene work on your site.
Waste management: the waste from cleaning and hygiene work handled safely and responsibly.
Emergency response: urgent support when something goes wrong on site.

Compliance, quality & food safety

Essential for meeting regulatory frameworks and passing industry audits. All our cleaning services meet the required audit standards, and our work is planned with your audits in mind.

Allergen control: cleaning that helps prevent allergen cross-contamination between products and production runs.
Environmental hygiene: production areas, surfaces and the wider factory environment kept clean and compliant.
Clean in Place (CIP) systems: support with CIP systems, so enclosed equipment is cleaned effectively without being taken apart.

Emergency, planned and long-term hygiene contracts

Every job is individually surveyed first, so the right equipment, resources and timescales are in place and the work fits around your production schedule.

Long-term contracted hygiene

Our Mobile Team can visit as little as once a year or as often as 314 days a year, covering silo cleaning, vacuum extraction, ducting and high-level and low-level cleaning. For daily cover, we can put an on-site hygiene team in place 7 days a week.

Repeat planned hygiene

If you would rather not sign a formal contract, we can book the same work in year after year for regular maintenance and planned factory shutdowns.

Reactive and emergency hygiene

When something goes wrong, we mobilise quickly. Typical call-outs include blocked silos, faulty dust extraction, pest issues, and cleans before an audit or after a failed one.

Specialist hygiene teams and labour

Our hygiene teams can carry out periodic factory cleans, planned maintenance cleans or full deep-cleaning programmes. We work around your production schedule, often during shutdowns and engineering works, so there is as little disruption as possible.

We can also provide skilled and experienced hygiene operatives on an ad-hoc basis, giving you immediate access to specialist support when you need it. Alternatively, we can manage the recruitment and training of a dedicated hygiene team for your site, reducing the burden on your internal resources.

With extensive experience across food manufacturing environments, our team brings strong leadership, operational stability and robust compliance support, so you can be confident your hygiene standards are consistently met and maintained.

What our clients say

I would like to offer my appreciation and gratitude to ACS on the superb work carried out by the technicians on the overhead cleaning during our Christmas shutdown. This was an extremely challenging task involving a good deal of pre-planning and great deal of physical effort and application on behalf of the technicians on site. The attitude, dedication to the task, and attention to detail was excellent. The standard attained in an area where access was challenging was outstanding in what was a "headache".
