Commercial Cleaning Equipment: Sales, Hire and Repairs in London

Janitorial Express supplies, hires and repairs commercial cleaning machines for businesses, cleaning contractors and facilities teams across London and the South East. Whether you need to buy new equipment, arrange a short-term rental or get an existing machine back in service, our team can help from a single point of contact.

We operate a trade counter and in-house repair workshop in Holloway, North London (close to Holloway Road Underground Station), so you can speak to people who understand professional cleaning equipment rather than placing an order with a call centre.

What we offer in one place: machine sales, selected hire options, in-house repairs and PAT testing, accessories and consumables, and practical advice on choosing the right equipment for your premises.

Tell us about your site, floor types and cleaning requirements and we will help you identify a practical, cost-effective solution.

Choosing the Right Cleaning Machine for Your Premises

The right machine depends on more than the size of the building. Before recommending anything, we consider the full picture of how the equipment will actually be used.

Factors that determine the right machine

• Floor type and surface area - hard floors, carpet, tiles and specialist surfaces each require different equipment

• Site layout and access - narrow corridors, lifts, and restricted doorways limit machine dimensions

• Operating hours and cleaning frequency - daily use demands a different specification than weekly maintenance

• Operator experience - simpler machines reduce training time and the risk of misuse

• Storage and charging - battery machines need a dedicated charging point; larger machines need appropriate storage space

• Transport requirements - some sites require equipment that fits in a van or a service lift

What to tell us when you get in touch

To help identify the most suitable equipment, let us know:

1. The type and approximate size of the area to be cleaned

2. The floor surfaces involved

3. How frequently the machine will be used

4. Any restricted access, lifts or narrow doorways

5. The cleaning results you need to achieve

6. Whether you want to purchase or hire

A compact machine may suit a congested site or a smaller building. A walk-behind or ride-on scrubber dryer can significantly improve productivity across larger hard-floor areas. Getting this decision right at the outset reduces the risk of buying equipment that is too large, too small or simply unsuitable for the building.

Commercial Cleaning Equipment We Supply

We supply and source professional cleaning machines for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Below is an overview of the main categories, along with links to the relevant product sections of our online shop.

Scrubber Dryers and Floor-Cleaning Machines

Scrubber dryers wash and dry hard flooring in a single pass, leaving floors ready for use more quickly than traditional mopping and significantly reducing labour time across larger areas.

Different models suit everything from smaller, congested sites to large offices, schools, warehouses, retail premises and leisure venues. Key variables include scrubbing width, tank capacity, battery runtime and whether a walk-behind or ride-on model is appropriate for the site.

Rotary Machines and Floor Polishers

Rotary machines handle a range of floor-maintenance tasks: scrubbing, spray cleaning, buffing and polishing. The correct combination of machine speed, pad, brush and cleaning chemical depends on the floor type and the specific task.

Our team will help you select the right combination rather than recommending the machine in isolation. Using the wrong pad or chemical on a floor can cause damage that is expensive to reverse.

Commercial Vacuum Cleaners

We supply commercial vacuum cleaners for regular contract cleaning and demanding workplace environments. When recommending a model, we consider:

• Area size and type (carpet, hard floor, or mixed)

• Filtration requirements (including HEPA where relevant)

• Tank capacity and weight

• Noise levels for occupied buildings

• Availability of replacement bags, filters and accessories

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Equipment

Professional extraction equipment can maintain carpets and upholstered furnishings, remove embedded soil and restore appearance between deep cleans. We can advise on suitable machinery alongside the correct detergents, presprays, stain removers and accessories for both planned maintenance and restorative cleaning.

Machine Accessories and Consumables

A cleaning machine is only as effective as the accessories and consumables used with it. We supply and source:

If you cannot identify the correct part, send us the machine's manufacturer, model and serial number, along with a photograph where possible, and we will source it for you.

Buy or Hire Commercial Cleaning Machines

Commercial cleaning machines are available to purchase outright, with rental options available on selected equipment subject to availability and your requirements.

Buying vs hiring: which is right for you?

Before recommending a machine, we discuss the site, application and expected level of use. This helps avoid the common and costly mistake of purchasing equipment that is unnecessarily large, too small for the task, or unsuitable for the building.

Some machines and specialist equipment are not listed in our online shop. If you cannot find what you need, contact us directly, as we may be able to source it through our professional supplier network.

Getting an accurate quotation

To prepare a recommendation and quotation, please provide:

1. The type of machine required

2. The premises type and floor surface

3. The approximate area to be cleaned

4. How often the machine will be used

5. Whether you want to buy or hire

6. Your delivery location and required timescale

Rental availability and terms vary by equipment and length of requirement. Contact us to discuss current availability and pricing.

Cleaning Machine Repairs and Servicing in London

Our in-house workshop at the Janitorial Express trade counter in Holloway repairs and services commercial cleaning machines. Repairing a serviceable machine is almost always more economical than replacing it, and it extends the equipment's working life while reducing unnecessary waste.

Established since 1991, Janitorial Express has been supporting commercial cleaning operations in London for over three decades. Our workshop team understands professional cleaning equipment from the ground up.

Machines we repair

• Commercial vacuum cleaners

• Rotary floor machines

• Scrubber dryers

• Carpet-cleaning machines

• Other professional cleaning equipment (subject to inspection)

We will assess the machine, identify the likely fault and discuss the appropriate course of action with you before any work begins. The availability and cost of replacement parts depends on the manufacturer, model and age of the equipment.

Parts and any additional work are charged separately. All charges are subject to change; contact us to confirm current rates before bringing in equipment.

You can bring suitable equipment directly to our trade counter and workshop:

Janitorial Express Unit 44, Hornsey Street London N7 8EL

Who We Supply

We work with a wide range of organisations that need dependable, professional cleaning equipment and the support to keep it running. Our customers include:

• Contract cleaning companies requiring reliable machines for new and ongoing contracts

• Facilities managers and in-house cleaning teams at commercial premises

• Schools and educational establishments managing cleaning across large, varied floor areas

• Hotels, hospitality and leisure venues where appearance standards are high and downtime is costly

Frequently Asked Questions

What commercial cleaning machine is suitable for large hard-floor areas?
