Who we are

Not just a cleaning company.

Most facilities managers tell us the same thing: they are spending time managing their cleaning contractor instead of doing their job. We fix that. Reliable shifts, full accountability, fast responses, and a partner who genuinely cares about your building and the planet it sits on. We call this Sustainability by Design. We have operated this way since 2010.

More buildings. Less impact.

The Blade, Reading
"A huge thank you to our cleaning team at Lakeside. Whilst it may feel like the recent heatwave is finally coming to an end, we'd like to take a moment to recognise the hard work and dedication of our cleaning team at Lakeside. Over the past few weeks, Sadie and her team have worked tirelessly to keep Lakeside looking its best, ensuring our public areas, communal spaces, corridors, stairwells and facilities remain clean, safe and welcoming for occupiers and visitors alike. Working across a large campus is no easy task at the best of times, let alone during periods of exceptionally warm weather. Despite this, the team consistently approaches every day with professionalism, commitment and a friendly smile. Thank you, Sadie and the entire Eco Drift Commercial Cleaning team, for everything you do. Your hard work is noticed and greatly appreciated by everyone at Lakeside."
