Emergency & Same-Day Commercial Cleaning

When you need cleaning done today

Most commercial cleaning is planned, scheduled, and routine. But some situations cannot wait. A flood, a burst pipe, a kitchen fire, a biohazard incident, an unexpected Environmental Health visit, a lease handback at short notice — these are the situations where a reliable emergency cleaning response matters enormously.

Highland Cleaning Co. provides emergency and same-day commercial cleaning across Inverness and the wider Highlands. We cannot always guarantee immediate deployment to every corner of the region, but we will always tell you honestly what we can do and how quickly — and we will get there as fast as we possibly can.

Situations we respond to

• Flood damage and water ingress — extraction, drying and sanitisation
• Sewage or drain overflow contamination
• Kitchen fire aftermath — smoke, soot and water damage clean-up
• Biohazard and bodily fluid incidents
• Pest infestation aftermath — deep clean following treatment
• Pre-Environmental Health inspection emergency deep clean
• Pre-opening clean after delayed construction or refurbishment
• Vandalism and graffiti clean-up on external surfaces
• Post-event emergency clean — large functions, parties, public events
• Urgent lease handback — short-notice end-of-tenancy clean
• Norovirus or infection outbreak deep clean and sanitisation

Responding across the Highlands

Being a Highlands-based company means we can respond to emergencies in Inverness and the surrounding area faster than any national contractor. For premises within Inverness city, the Inverness Business Park, or the Longman Industrial Estate, we can typically mobilise a team within hours. For locations further afield — Dingwall, Nairn, Aviemore, Fort William, Wick, Thurso — we will be honest about realistic response times and work with you accordingly.

We maintain stock of commercial-grade sanitisation and deep cleaning equipment and products at all times so we are not held up sourcing materials when an emergency call comes in.

What to do in a cleaning emergency

Call us directly on our business number rather than using the contact form — it is the fastest route. Tell us the nature of the situation, the address, and the earliest access time. We will confirm availability, give you an honest timeline, and if we cannot help, we will say so immediately rather than leave you waiting.

We charge a £150 call-out fee plus £30 per hour per operative (minimum 2 hours). All prices exclude VAT. We can provide an invoice suitable for insurance claims where applicable.

Planned emergency readiness

Some businesses — particularly food service operators, healthcare facilities, and large hospitality venues — benefit from having a pre-agreed emergency cleaning arrangement in place before they need it. This means we already know your premises, we have a current key or access arrangement, and we can respond without the administration involved in a first-time call.

If you operate a business where a cleaning emergency could genuinely cost you your trading licence or your reputation, talk to us about a standing emergency arrangement. The cost is minimal and the peace of mind is considerable.

Available across the Highlands

Emergency response is available to businesses in Inverness, Dingwall, Invergordon, Nairn, Forres, Aviemore, Fort William, and surrounding areas as a priority. For Wick, Thurso, Sutherland and the more remote areas of the Highlands, we discuss realistic timelines honestly and deploy as quickly as travel allows.
