Event cleaning
An event is judged on the bins and the toilets. Everything else can go beautifully and a queue for an overflowing cubicle is what people remember and post. Regency scales crews up for the build, the live days and the overnight resets, then clears the site afterwards — including the waste, which most cleaning contractors leave for somebody else to worry about.

Common questions
- How do you size a crew for an event?
- From footfall, the length of the trading day, the number of welfare units and how the site is laid out — a long thin site costs more to cover than a compact one with the same headcount. We would rather walk the ground than quote from a plan.
- Do you handle the waste as well as the cleaning?
- Yes, and it is worth insisting on. Splitting cleaning from waste across two suppliers is where event sites go wrong: the bins get emptied into a pile nobody is contracted to take away.
- What happens overnight between show days?
- An overnight reset — litter clearance, welfare units serviced and restocked, bins emptied, back-of-house put back — so the site opens on day two looking like it did on day one.
- How quickly can a site be cleared afterwards?
- That depends on your hand-back deadline, and it is the number to tell us first. Breakdown is usually the tightest window in the whole event, because the landowner wants the ground back and everyone else has gone home.
- Can you supply the welfare units too?
- We service them and can coordinate supply. What matters is that servicing and waste sit with one contractor — split across two, and full units become an argument instead of a job.
- What happens if the weather turns?
- Wet-weather contingency is planned into the crew size, because rain changes the work rather than pausing it: mud in walkways, more litter, and welfare units needing more frequent attention.
