SCS cleans up with acquisition

A SPECIALIST cleaning business in Preston is to expand its service offering with the acquisition of a business that cleans the exterior of properties.

Specialised Cleaning Services (SCS) has bought Extra Clean Property Services, also based in Preston, for an undisclosed sum.

SCS, which has a turnover of £1.2m and employs 34 staff, plans to grow by broadening its service range and has recently introducing asbestos removal and planned maintenance and repairs, including bathroom and kitchen replacement.

The addition of Extra Clean Property Services will allow the firm to offer exterior cleaning works include pressure washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning and graffiti removal.

Sarah Southworth, managing director of SCS said: “This is a fantastic coup for us that adds yet more weight to our business. Extra Clean Property Services is an established firm within the sector that have carved a solid reputation.

“This is the first time that we have acquired a firm rather than launching a new division. The existing skills, experiences and understanding of the sector by the existing team there will allow us to hit the ground running.”

She added: “Bringing Extra Clean Property Services into the company fold will strengthen our service proposition and help build the brand further still. We will continue to employee the team under SCS and hope to add more staff to the team in the coming months as this new arm gathers momentum.”
