We know your building

This is their home. We work like guests.

A care home never empties — so contractors who need a clear building are contractors you can’t use. We work in agreed phases through the quietest hours, coordinate with night staff, and treat noise, odour and access with the same seriousness as the floor itself.

Resident-first scheduling

Phased overnight work agreed with your night team — routines, sleep and dignity undisturbed.

Slip safety, evidenced

Safety flooring restored and pendulum tested, with documentation for CQC inspection files.

Infection-control ready

Low-odour, hygiene-appropriate methods, plus Virobac antimicrobial protection where specified.

Fast-return cleaning

Low-moisture carpet systems keep corridors and lounges walkable — no cordoned-off routes.

We work while you’re closed

Delivered out of hours, as standard.

Care homes never close, so we work the way night staff do: quietly, in phases, around the people who live there. Floors improve; nobody’s night is interrupted.

  1. 17:30

    Your business closes

    Staff and customers head home. Your premises are handed over under agreed access protocols.

  2. 18:00

    Zest arrives

    Our technicians arrive on site with everything needed — no deliveries, no daytime setup.

  3. Overnight

    Professional restoration

    The full restoration is completed while the building is empty. No noise complaints, no closed-off areas.

  4. 05:30

    Final inspection

    Every area is checked, dried and signed off against the agreed specification.

  5. 08:00

    You open on restored floors

    Doors open on time, to a floor that looks new. Your team simply arrives to the result.

Access, security and keyholding protocols are agreed before any work begins. Weekend and closure-period programmes are available where an overnight window isn’t enough.

Questions, answered

What care homes managers ask us.

If your question isn’t covered, the survey is the fastest way to a straight answer — free and without obligation.

How do you avoid disturbing residents at night?

Work is phased with your night staff, quiet methods are selected for sleeping areas, and anything noisier is scheduled for the least sensitive hours and zones. Residents’ routines lead the plan — not the other way round.

Can floors stay in use during the work?

Circulation routes are kept open throughout. We work in sections, and fast-drying methods mean corridors return to service quickly — important when residents move around at night.

What documentation do you provide for CQC?

Method statements before work, and sign-off records after — including PTV results where slip testing is included. Managers typically file them directly into their compliance evidence.
