New Contract Case Study: Saint-Gobain

We are delighted to have secured a new industrial cleaning contract with Saint-Gobain at their East Leake Works site in Leicestershire

Founded in 1665, Saint-Gobain designs, manufactures, and distributes materials and services for the construction and industrial sectors. Their solutions are integrated into various aspects of everyday life, from buildings and transportation to infrastructure and industrial applications.

The East Leake site we now service houses the company’s head offices, one of its Training Academies, and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, including a plasterboard production area.

Scope of Work

Our team of 12 full-time operatives are responsible for a range of cleaning services, including:

  • Plasterboard production area cleaning
  • Specialist cleaning of production line rollers
  • Daily office cleaning
  • Canteen hygiene maintenance
  • Wet room and washroom cleaning

 

To enhance efficiency and maintain the highest standards, we utilise specialist cleaning equipment tailored to the site’s unique requirements.

Rapid Mobilisation & Specialist Training

One of the key factors in securing this contract was our ability to mobilise quickly. The contract was awarded on the 2nd of December, with a start date of January 1st, a particularly challenging period given the Christmas break and the need for site-specific training. Despite this, we successfully onboarded the team, including the recruitment of two new operatives, ensuring a smooth transition.

Why CleanTEC?

Saint-Gobain highlighted several reasons why CleanTEC stood out in the tender process. Some of these included:

  • Strong Client Base – Our established relationships with our clients highlight a solid foundation of trust and reliability.

  • Monthly Audits & Reviews – Our structured approach ensures consistent service quality and accountability.
Looking Ahead

This contract not only strengthens our partnership with Saint-Gobain (where we have been servicing another site since 2010) but also reinforces our expansion into industrial cleaning. By combining specialist expertise, innovation, and a people-focused approach, we continue to drive high standards across all sectors we serve.
