Chandlers BMW Dealership Cleaning | Commercial Case Study

Chandlers BMW — Commercial Dealership Cleaning Case Study

Chandlers is one of the most established BMW and MINI dealership groups in Sussex, with five locations across the region and their headquarters based in Brighton. With high-end vehicles on display and discerning customers walking through the showrooms daily, presentation standards have to be exceptional — from the showroom floor to the office spaces, service bays, and customer-facing areas.

Astound was appointed to deliver a full contract cleaning programme across the Brighton headquarters, covering showrooms, offices, and communal areas. This case study covers how the relationship was established and the service programme we deliver.

Why Premium Dealerships Need Specialist Contract Cleaners

Car dealerships — particularly premium marques like BMW — set a high bar for cleanliness. Customers visiting a showroom expect the same attention to detail in the environment as they do in the vehicles. Fingerprints on glass, dust on display surfaces, or untidy communal areas all undermine the brand experience.

At the same time, dealerships are operationally complex sites. Showroom floors need specialist hard floor maintenance. Service bays generate different cleaning challenges to offices. And the work has to be completed before the first customer walks through the door — which means an early-morning shift with no room for delays or missed areas.

Chandlers had previously worked with several cleaning companies, but found that communication was consistently a problem. They needed a contractor who understood the standards required and could deliver them reliably, day after day, without needing to be chased.

Our Cleaning Programme for Chandlers BMW

Astound's cleaning team arrives well before the start of the business day, with all work completed by 7am. Five days a week, our staff clean both the BMW and MINI showrooms, all office space (including group headquarters administration), and communal areas across the Brighton site.

The cleaning programme includes:

• Showroom cleaning: Daily cleaning of display areas, glass surfaces, and customer-facing spaces to maintain premium presentation
• Office cleaning: Desk areas, meeting rooms, kitchens, and washrooms across the headquarters
• Hard floor maintenance: Scheduled programme for showroom and high-traffic floors
• Carpet cleaning: Regular maintenance including spot cleaning for office and showroom carpeted areas
• Telephone sanitising: Weekly sanitisation across the site
• Wall washing and redecoration support: Periodic deep cleaning of painted surfaces
• Cladding cleaning and jet washing: External areas including car parks
• Launch event support: Blitz cleaning before and after vehicle launch functions and showroom events

Communication and Quality Control

The single biggest reason Chandlers chose Astound — and have stayed with us for over fifteen years — is communication. Previous contractors consistently fell short in this area, creating frustration for the dealership management team who needed issues resolved quickly and cleaning standards maintained without constant oversight.

Astound provides a dedicated account manager, regular quality control visits working alongside our cleaning teams, and a direct line for any additional or ad-hoc requirements. Our early-morning schedule also means that site management can assess the quality of work at the start of each business day and flag anything immediately.

The result is a genuinely hands-off experience for the client — the cleaning is done to a consistently high standard, and any issues are dealt with proactively rather than reactively.
