High rise buildings

Our cleaning contractor will clean ground floor entrances and lifts once a day from Monday to Friday. They will clean shared areas like corridors, landings, entrance halls and stairs once a week.

We will display the times when cleaners will be in your building on the notice board. Cleaners will sign the notice to say when they have cleaned.

If you find anything in a shared area that could be dangerous to someone’s health such as sharps or vomit, contact us immediately and we will send someone out to clean up within two hours.

 

Trees

SCH works with Solihull Council’s Forestry Team on the management of trees throughout the borough.

If you wish to report an issue with a tree, please read through the information on the council website here. This will detail how trees are managed and the work that can and cannot be carried out.
