School and student accommodation cleaning work in Co. Dublin
This work follows the academic calendar rather than the week: term-time cleaning is routine and predictable, and the real volume lands in the changeover periods when buildings empty and have to be turned around quickly.
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.
