Our Story

Forty years of keeping London's offices in order.

Our family has been cleaning London's offices since 1985 — first as Millards Cleaning Services, and now as Office Cleaning London. Here's how we got from there to twenty-three neighbourhoods, and what never changed along the way.

How We Started

It began in 1985.

Our family's cleaning story in London began in 1985 with Millards Cleaning Services. Mike, Jayden's father, led it as managing director for over two decades, growing it from a handful of offices into a proper operation — an office in Covent Garden, a team of employees, vans on the road and clients across Central London. Jayden grew up around it, helping out at the office as a kid.

In 2019 Millards was acquired by a larger group, and then COVID emptied London's offices. When they began to fill again, the same people — Jayden, Mike, most of the cleaners and the wider team — came back together as Office Cleaning London. The name changed; the expertise, the standards and the relationships came with us.

Same people, same standards, a new name — and the same bet we've always made: that a small team who know your building will always beat a faceless contract.

The Journey

Four decades, the short version.

1985

Millards begins

The family's cleaning story starts in London with Millards Cleaning Services, growing over the years into an office in Covent Garden, a full team and vans on the road.

2019–2020

A new name, the same people

Millards is acquired by a larger group, then COVID empties London's offices. When they fill up again, the same team comes back together as Office Cleaning London — same cleaners, same standards.

Today

Still family-run

23 Central London neighbourhoods, fully insured teams, and the same family still running it — leaner than before, with better tools taking care of the admin so more of the effort goes into the cleaning.

Bigger, but not different.

Your cleaners stay assigned to your building — not a rotating roster of whoever's free that day.

2No long tie-ins

Month to month if that's what you want. We'd rather earn the renewal than lock you into one.

3A real person, not a queue

Every account has someone who actually answers — see who you'd be talking to.

4Insured and vetted, not just claimed

Every cleaner background-checked and fully covered — it's still our name on the invoice.
