DBS Approved Cleaners for Safe and Trusted Cleaning Services in London
Cleanovation supplies DBS approved cleaners to businesses, schools, healthcare sites and care homes across London. Every cleaner on our team passes a background check before they step through your door, so you get a safe, trusted and fully accountable cleaning service.
What Are DBS
Approved Cleaners?
DBS stands for Disclosure and Barring Service. It is a UK government check on a person's background. It shows if someone has a criminal record before they start work.
A DBS approved cleaner has passed this check. This makes them safe to work in places that need extra trust, like when they hold keys or clean alone after hours.
Many businesses now ask for DBS checked cleaners as standard. It lowers risk and builds trust with staff, parents, patients and visitors.
The check matters most where the law requires it, such as schools, nurseries, care homes, hospitals and GP surgeries. It also matters in offices that hold private information.
How Does a Cleaner
Become DBS Checked?
Getting DBS checked is not a single form. It is a full checking process that Cleanovation runs before any cleaner joins a client site.

1
Identity check
We check original documents, such as a passport or driving licence, to confirm the person applying is who they say they are.

We apply for the right level of DBS check, basic, standard or enhanced, based on the site and the type of work.

Criminal record check
The DBS checks police records and, for enhanced checks, the lists of people barred from working with children or adults at risk.

Certificate review
We look over the DBS certificate in full before a cleaner is approved for any client site.

Right to work check
We confirm the person can legally work in the UK, using official documents.

Reference checks
We contact past employers to check work history and conduct.

Ongoing checks
We review DBS certificates on a set schedule, so a check from years ago does not get forgotten.
Why Choose Cleaners
With DBS Checks?
A cleaning contract is about who you let into your building, not just a clean floor. Choosing cleaners with DBS checks changes how much risk you carry as a business owner or facilities manager.
Staff, visitors and residents share a space with people who have been checked, not strangers hired on trust alone.
A DBS certificate backs up the person doing the work, not just their CV.
Fewer surprises around theft, bad behaviour or unsafe actions on site.
Managers stop worrying about who is cleaning after hours and can focus on running the business.
Schools, care homes and healthcare sites often need DBS checked staff by law or by contract, and using checked cleaners keeps you within the rules.
