Industrial cleaning work in Co. Dublin
Industrial work runs on the plant schedule rather than on yours: shutdowns, night shifts and weekends, agreed weeks in advance. It pays better per hour than domestic work and it is harder to get into, because sites ask for a method statement and a risk assessment before you get through the gate.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
