Mercera Cleaning

For businesses with an existing cleaner

Switching cleaners is easier than staying put

Most businesses stick with a mediocre cleaner because changing feels like hassle. It isn't — we handle the awkward parts, including TUPE, and there's no lock-in at our end.

30-day rolling agreement. No long lock-in. Leave any time with a month's notice — though our customers rarely do.

Notice periods handled

We help you check your current contract and time the switch so there's no gap in service.

TUPE managed for you

Existing staff transfer with their rights — it's routine and we manage the whole process.

Frequently asked questions

What is TUPE and does it apply to us?

TUPE (the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations) means that when a cleaning contract transfers to a new provider, the existing cleaning staff usually transfer too, keeping their employment rights. It sounds daunting but it's routine — we handle it all the time and manage the process so you don't have to.

How much notice do I need to give my current cleaner?

It depends on your existing contract — commonly 30, 60 or 90 days. Check the termination clause; our downloadable template notice letter makes serving notice simple. We'll time our mobilisation to your notice period so there's no gap in service.

Will there be a gap in cleaning during the switch?

No. We plan the handover around your notice period so our team starts seamlessly as the previous contract ends. In most cases you won't notice anything except a better standard.

Are your agreements long lock-ins?

No — we offer a 30-day rolling agreement. In a sector dominated by long contracts, that's a deliberate differentiator: you stay with us because the service is good.

What if we're mid-contract?

We can still talk. Many clients line up a switch to coincide with their contract end or break clause, and we're happy to advise on timing without any obligation.
