R & C CLEANING SERVICES LIMITED
Company number 04938885 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
R & C Cleaning Services Limited is a long-established small operator in the fragmented UK contract cleaning sector, demonstrating a commendable turnaround from near-insolvency in 2015 to a stable, growing business with 30 employees and £19,559 in net assets. The company occupies a defensible niche between sole traders and regional operators, leveraging its 20-year track record and owner-manager model for client retention. However, its thin capital base, significant creditor dependency, and single-director risk present vulnerabilities—particularly as National Living Wage increases compress margins in this labour-intensive sector. Continued growth will require careful balance sheet strengthening and potentially succession planning to sustain the business beyond its current owner.
