Chris Thomas

Fantastic service. Our office is always cleaned to a high standard. Would highly recommend

Claire Williams

An extremely fantastic service. The team are so helpful, and hardworking with very high standards. Having just completed our 44 week tenancy check out deep cleans for us I cannot speak highly enough of the service we have received. So much so that I know we have nothing to worry about when it comes to our 51 week tenancy check out deep cleans, and the fun of one week summer turnaround arrives, the Archway team will SMASH IT.

Emily Chamberlain

Archways were amazing and provided spotless cleaning for us. If you're looking for a truly reliable company, with staff who have extremely high standards, this is the company you want! I hope to work with you again in the future. Archways truly raised the bar. Special shout out to my faves - Aiste & Vaida.

I couldn't recommend Archway Facilities enough. Snezana & the team are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always on hand to help. The cleaning is of such a high standard and the staff are lovely. For anyone looking for a cleaning company, I wouldn't worry about looking elsewhere as Archway Facilities are all you need!

We used Archway Facilities for our Student Accommodation summer cleans in Exeter, and they are by far the best standard of clean we have received. We use a number of cleaning companies across the country for a number of our Student Blocks and Archway always show a new level of Standard. We had no complaints regarding cleanliness from any tenants that moved in and the cleans were completed in a short turnaround period. For high standards of cleaning- Archway are definitely recommended.

I have found Archway Facilities to be a very efficient, hard-working team who provide a very high standard of cleaning.
Archway Facilities are our daily cleaning contractor for our 50,000 square foot office and their high standards are maintained throughout their team of Cleaning Operatives, Supervisors and Management.
I have also used them for a number of individual projects, for example, end of tenancy property cleans, floor tile grout stripping & sealing and residential cleans. I would be happy to recommend them for any cleaning project small or large.
