Your facility. Your site requirements.
A GMP cleaning enquiry should identify the room use, the areas requiring cleaning and the procedures that apply. Production rooms, changing areas and supporting spaces may require different briefs even within one facility.
Provide your cleaning specification and any restrictions on products, equipment or access. This gives the discussion a practical starting point before methods and responsibilities are agreed.
Plan around the work on site
Tell us whether cleaning supports a planned shutdown, an operational cleaning requirement or the handover of a new pharmaceutical facility. Include the sequence in which rooms become available and the expected completion date.
Where contractors or engineers are still working, make clear which areas can be released for cleaning and how access will be controlled.
Define the handover before the work begins
Discuss the records and review process your site requires, together with the person responsible for accepting the work. Requirements for any testing, validation or release should be specified separately.
Our GMP cleaning service is part of an agreed site cleaning scope. It is not a promise of regulatory approval or a substitute for your facility’s quality systems.
Cleaning documentation to agree before work starts
A pharmaceutical cleaning brief needs more than a room size and a date. Agree the method statement, site procedures, materials and handover records with the team responsible for the facility.
Our documentation includes method statements, material approval sections, product usage logs and job reporting. The records needed for your project should be confirmed as part of the scope.
Product records and traceability
Our product usage log provides fields for product name, product code, batch number, shelf life, area of use, operative and date. Discuss which records your quality team requires and how they should be supplied at handover.
From the room schedule to handover
Start with the rooms and surfaces included, then identify the approved materials, access arrangements and sequence of work. Include any equipment restrictions, proposed shutdown dates and requirements for inspection.
Cleaning completion, environmental monitoring and facility release have different responsibilities. Agree who reviews the cleaning records and what further checks your site requires.
Your questions, answered.
What does GMP mean?
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice. For a cleaning enquiry, share the procedures, specifications and responsibilities that apply to your particular site.
Can you quote for a manufacturing shutdown?
Yes. Send the room list, proposed dates, access requirements and site cleaning specification so the scope and programme can be discussed.
What should we send with an enquiry?
Include the site postcode, room schedule or approximate area, requested dates, relevant procedures and details of the team responsible for the cleaning brief.
Nationwide coverage
We welcome enquiries throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Find your area or contact us with your postcode to discuss the project.
