Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions commercial cleaning contractors, facilities managers and hygiene providers ask about accounting.
How is contract cleaning income recognised?
Service contract income is recognised over the period services are delivered, not when invoiced in advance. Monthly or quarterly contracts are matched to the period each clean is performed.
How does payroll work for cleaning teams?
Hourly-paid cleaning staff require PAYE, NIC and NMW compliance on every pay run. Holiday pay must be calculated correctly. Auto-enrolment pensions apply to all eligible workers regardless of hours.
What happens to staff when contracts transfer?
TUPE regulations transfer employees to the incoming contractor on their existing terms. Pension obligations, holiday accruals and redundancy liabilities may transfer. Proper due diligence before accepting contracts is essential.
What equipment qualifies for capital allowances?
Industrial vacuums, floor polishers, steam cleaners, pressure washers, vans and specialist cleaning machinery qualify for Annual Investment Allowance at 100%. Uniforms and cleaning supplies are deductible revenue expenses.
How are multi-site operations tracked?
Revenue, staff costs and supplies for each client contract need separate tracking. Per-contract profitability analysis identifies underperforming sites and supports pricing decisions when contracts come up for renewal.
Can ABM support cleaning businesses nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves cleaning and facilities businesses across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to commercial cleaners, facilities managers and hygiene providers.
