Our Mission Statement

“To improve our local community by helping businesses provide sustainable, hygienic, and healthier environments for their employees and customers. Our focus is reducing the impact of chemicals to minimise the repercussions we all have on the world we live in and securing better futures for our children”.

CleanKing is a privately owned dynamic cleaning company headed by Paul Hillman. He has over 20 years of cleaning expertise and decided to incorporate CleanKing in 1999 after spending his former years sub-contracting to larger cleaning companies.

CleanKing has now grown to its present size and developed a large industrial division and a specialised restoration division. This has been achieved by providing high quality, value for money service often going the extra mile for its clients.

Our focus over the past few years has been the research and development of new and innovative cleaning products to reduce the impact of chemicals on the environment. This alongside our Carbon Net Zero aim is key to ensuring the impact we all have on the world we live in, and securing better futures for our children and grandchildren.

Areas we cover

CleanKing has its Head Office in Farnborough, Hampshire and offices in Charing Cross Road, Central London and Birmingham. This enables our industrial and restoration divisions to cover the whole of the UK and Ireland. Our passion and consistent approach to quality is borne out by a growing list of clients and satisfied customers.
