The Challenge
Oakridge Private Clinic reached out to GC&C Group Limited after failing an internal hygiene audit that revealed lapses in surface disinfection, dust accumulation in treatment rooms, and improper waste disposal protocols. With a follow-up CQC inspection scheduled in less than a week, the clinic urgently needed a cleaning partner that understood both clinical hygiene standards and regulatory compliance.
What We Did
Within 24 hours of contact, our team conducted a full on-site hygiene assessment. Based on our findings, we developed a custom cleaning plan tailored to healthcare compliance requirements.
Our approach included:
A full deep clean of all treatment rooms, consultation spaces, and communal areas
Use of hospital-grade disinfectants and colour-coded equipment to prevent cross-contamination
Replacement of outdated waste bins with clinical-grade disposal units
Daily maintenance cleaning in the lead-up to the inspection
Our Strategy & Strengths
🧽 Clinical-Level Expertise
Our cleaning team is trained in infection control, COSHH compliance, and CQC inspection standards, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
🕐 Flexible Scheduling
We worked evenings and early mornings to avoid disrupting patient care—demonstrating our ability to work around healthcare operations seamlessly.
📸 Before & After Visuals
We documented all work with photographic evidence and provided the client with a full hygiene compliance report to present to their inspectors.
📋 Ongoing Quality Assurance
Post-clean, we carried out random spot checks and trained the in-house team on how to maintain hygiene levels between contracted cleans.
- Project Outcomes
- Passed follow-up CQC hygiene inspection
- 100% of cleaning criteria met and signed off
- Clinic extended contract to weekly maintenance cleaning
- Staff and patients reported improved confidence in facility standards
