Specialist Cleaning
Providing hygiene solutions to commercial and residential properties across North West England. Expert technicians, specialist equipment, 24/7 availability.
The Service
In high-rise offices and residential blocks, refuse chutes offer convenient waste disposal. However, their design and height make them extremely difficult to clean, quickly becoming a health hazard. Rubbish chutes deal with large amounts of daily waste — leading to blockages, offensive odours, and bacterial development.
Food waste accumulation in the chute and bin store area encourages pests like rats, mice, and cockroaches, making control difficult. Regular professional cleaning of rubbish chutes, bin storage areas, and wheelie bins is vital in avoiding persistent issues.
The Risks
Airborne pathogenic bacteria from waste residue can be easily inhaled by residents, posing a direct risk of illness. Food waste in bin stores creates ideal breeding grounds for Salmonella, cockroaches, rats, and flies — particularly in warmer months.
Bulky or inappropriate items quickly cause blockages, allowing waste to build up and decay. Blocked, waste-filled chutes pose a significant fire safety risk and can prevent waste removal throughout the entire building.
Decaying food waste creates the perfect damp environment for black mould to thrive. Mould spores can become airborne and penetrate nearby residential areas, causing respiratory hazards. Ignoring this is a breach of your legal duty of care.
How We Work
Before any work begins, our technicians carry out a full site inspection and detailed risk assessment — identifying hazards and ensuring the safety of residents, staff, and our team throughout.
We deploy specialist high-pressure cleaning equipment capable of reaching the full length of the chute. Powerful yet environmentally responsible biocidal chemicals — always accompanied by a COSHH assessment — break down stubborn organic residues.
After cleaning, a biocidal disinfectant is applied throughout to destroy remaining bacteria and mould. A pleasant fragrance is added, leaving the chute and bin store hygienic, fresh, and compliant.
We leave a full written record of all work completed for your records, remove all waste in line with national regulations, and provide tailored advice on cleaning frequency to keep your building protected.
Who We Serve
Stretching high into the sky, high-rise residential blocks almost always feature rubbish chutes. We work with tenants, landlords, and building owners to schedule cleans around access times.
With extensive experience working alongside housing associations and property management companies, Kerdel are trusted experts in residential bin chute and bin store cleaning across the North West.
It is always best to clean a rubbish chute system in one go. Where chutes pass through several properties, we can help organise cleans within shared spaces or provide an individual service where possible.
