Giving back to the Community
We help our staff and clients throughout the North of England to carry out services in a safe, respectful and professional matter.
We help our staff and clients perform the best they can through honest, hard work in a respectful and friendly way. As a business, we aim for constant improvement in our services through training and development – all while helping others less fortunate than ourselves.
We’re loyal and supportive to both our staff and our clients and treat people fairly at all times, showing particular tolerance when they’re struggling. When we’re able to help others, we love to make a difference!

Support for our elderly clients
Where appropriate during the Coronavirus pandemic, we’re supporting our elderly domestic clients by collecting and delivering their shopping – including prescriptions.
Hygiene tests for local businesses
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting our clients with infection control, we’re launching a limited number of free Covid-19 hygiene tests.
This service is open to small businesses (under 50 employees) based in and around our head office at Team Valley, Gateshead who can book a test following a successful infection control assessment.
CQC standards of service
As key workers, APM Cleaning and Repair Ltd has signed up to the Infection Prevention Solutions Partnership Programme.
Our aim is to use the training provided by qualified Infection Control Nurses, alongside a robust quality assurance process, to provide you with a cleaning service that will meet and exceed Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards.
