Trusted by Businesses Across the North East

"We've used J&D for our Newcastle office for over three years now. The consistency is what sets them apart — every single morning the office is immaculate without us having to chase or check. Our staff have noticed and commented on it. Genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else."

Sarah Mitchell
Office Manager
Nexus Financial Services, Newcastle
Office Cleaning

"We run a busy fabrication unit and cleanliness is a health and safety requirement, not just a preference. J&D understand that. They work around our shift patterns, they know what they're doing in an industrial environment, and they've never let us down in two years."

Dave Pearson
Operations Director
Pearson Engineering, Sunderland
Industrial Cleaning

"First impressions matter in retail. Since switching to J&D our store has never looked better — floors are gleaming, windows are spotless, and the team are always discreet and professional. Our customers have actually commented on how clean the shop looks."

Karen Hughes
Store Manager
Hughes Home & Garden, Gateshead
Retail Cleaning

"We needed a cleaning contractor who could handle a 40,000 sq ft warehouse and actually deliver. J&D came in, assessed the site properly, and gave us a realistic quote. Six months in and the standard has been consistently high. Highly recommended."

Tom Gallagher
Managing Director
Gallagher Logistics, Washington
Warehouse Cleaning

"We had a deep clean done before our EHO inspection and the team were absolutely thorough — behind equipment, inside the extraction system, everywhere. We passed with flying colours. We've since moved to a weekly contract and the standard has stayed just as high."

Lisa Brennan
Restaurant Owner
The Harbour Kitchen, Sunderland
Deep Clean & Ongoing Contract

"Managing cleaning across 12 office units is complex. J&D handle it seamlessly — one point of contact, consistent quality across every unit, and they flag any issues proactively. It's taken a real headache off my plate."

Daily Office Cleaning Contract

Nexus Financial Services

The Challenge

Nexus Financial Services had been struggling with an unreliable cleaning contractor — missed visits, inconsistent standards, and a lack of communication. With 45 staff across two floors, they needed a dependable daily clean that worked around their 7am start time.

Our Solution

J&D took over the contract with a dedicated two-person team assigned to the site. We introduced a daily checklist system, a direct contact number for the office manager, and a monthly quality review. Early-morning cleans are completed before staff arrive.

The Results
Zero missed visits in 3 years
Staff satisfaction scores improved
Monthly quality reviews maintained 98%+ rating
Flexible cover arranged for bank holidays

Industrial Cleaning Contract

Pearson Engineering

The Challenge

Pearson Engineering's fabrication unit required specialist industrial cleaning to meet health & safety compliance. Previous contractors lacked the equipment and knowledge to handle the environment safely, leading to compliance concerns during audits.

Our Solution

J&D conducted a full site assessment and developed a bespoke cleaning schedule covering production areas, welfare facilities, and external loading bays. All operatives were briefed on site-specific H&S requirements before starting.

The Results
Full H&S compliance achieved on next audit
Cleaning schedule integrated with shift patterns
Specialist equipment deployed for production areas
No incidents or near-misses in 2 years of contract

Deep Clean + Weekly Contract

The Harbour Kitchen

The Challenge

The Harbour Kitchen needed a thorough deep clean ahead of an Environmental Health Officer inspection. Years of grease build-up in the extraction system, behind equipment, and in hard-to-reach areas posed a real risk to their food hygiene rating.

Our Solution

J&D deployed a specialist deep clean team over two days — working through the night to avoid disrupting service. The scope covered the full kitchen, extraction system, cold rooms, and customer-facing areas. A follow-up weekly contract was agreed to maintain standards.

The Results
5-star food hygiene rating achieved
EHO inspector noted "exceptional cleanliness"
Weekly contract in place to maintain standards
Extraction system cleaned quarterly
