Spec Services
Holistic Approach to Commercial Cleaning

There were several lessons learnt from the COVID-19 outbreak, one of which was the significance of the good old sanitation practice. The daunting challenge of maintaining a clean environment amid the pandemic has proven to be arduous, but it is an extremely vital one. As people return to work, a key concern is whether or not the workplace has been properly disinfected. Many businesses are uncertain of the steps to be taken to ensure safety. To this end, Spec services offers the best of the breed disinfection and sanitation services and also helps businesses by guiding them on the measures to be taken to ensure that their facility is clean and safe for work.

With its inception in 2014, Spec Services, a large-scale commercial and construction cleaning company, has set a benchmark for quality services within the cleaning industry. “On time, on budget and on spec,” says Katie Hale, Founder, Spec Services. The company distinguishes itself through a collaborative and professional approach, delivering cleaning and disinfection services on time, on budget, and according to the exact specification or requirements of the facility. Spec Services provides commercial, biological, and environmental decontamination, forensic cleaning, and facility management services with a specialized team.

Adding to the proficiency of Spec Services, the company offers a transparent and well-planned remediation cleaning strategy so that clients are fully cognizant of everything that Spec Services is doing for them across the cleaning and sanitation spectrum. Aside from doing complicated cleaning duties to meet each client’s unique requirements, Spec Services, in Katie’s perspective, is also responsible for identifying and resolving other sanitation challenges that the clients might encounter.

To further accentuate the services provided by Spec Services, Katie highlights a case study where the company was chosen by LDK Greenway views, an aged care home, to clean its 26,000 square meter facility. The facility was cleaned from the onset of the construction and after construction as per guidelines.
To cap it all off, once the facility was turned over by the construction company to LDK, Spec Services collaborated with them to start the commercial cleaning package. More recently, due to the pandemic, LDK again entrusted Spec Services to perform a thorough deep clean of the whole facility, including the secure dementia ward. The company also worked in cooperation with Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Health to put all the protocols in place to ensure that the facility could safely function as normal.

Katie attributes the success of Spec Services to its workforce, especially its managers that come from industries where the customer is always put first. As per Katie, it’s crucial to recruit people having customer service experience who, in turn, can educate other members of the crew in upholding service quality.

Another crucial factor that sets the company apart is their strong belief in equal opportunity for all. In light of that, Spec Services is dedicated to providing inclusive and equitable employment opportunities to all regardless of ethnicity, faith, sex, nationality, disability, or gender identity. The company is also deeply committed to providing employment opportunities to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI) individuals. By empowering them to make informed decisions about their employment and finances, the company hopes to inspire a new generation that is more educated and focused on professional advancement.

As a leading construction and commercial cleaning business in New South Wales (NSW) and ACT, Spec Services is looking to expand its services across Australia. With regional NSW as a key location for the company, an ambitious growth in that region has already begun. Aside from geographical growth, the company is redefining its current services and expanding into services closely connected with cleaning, such as sustainable waste management, to provide clients with more comprehensive cleaning solutions. “Clients can rest assured that when we leave the environment, what we have created is safe,” Katie signs off.
