Agencies and practices in the town centre
Central Cannes is home to many small businesses that welcome the public: estate agents, yacht brokers, event agencies, law firms and architects. Premises are often compact, with a street window, a reception area, two or three offices and a meeting room.
In places like these, first impressions are made at the door. We come early in the morning so the window, reception and meeting room are spotless at opening time, and we adjust the frequency to the number of visitors you receive. A practice that sees two clients a day does not need the same schedule as an agency with a constant flow of visitors.
Estate agents and brokers often have windows covered in listings. We clean the inside of the glass while taking care of the displays, without peeling anything off or moving it.
Offices that follow the rhythm of the Palais
In Cannes, an office's workload often follows the Palais des Festivals calendar. During MIPIM, Cannes Lions, the Film Festival or MIPCOM, an agency can see three times as many meetings, stay open late and host drinks on its own premises.
For those weeks we plan an evening visit to put the premises back in order, with a short morning visit before the first meetings if needed. The rest of the year, the usual rhythm returns without anything having to be renegotiated.
When a congress runs over a weekend, our visits follow the same calendar. We set the times with you as soon as your meeting schedule is known.
Showrooms and congress spaces
During the big trade events, many companies turn an apartment, a villa, an empty shop or a hotel suite into a showroom or reception space. These places must be spotless before the installers arrive, kept that way every day of the event, then left clean after the dismantling.
We organise those three stages with you or with your event agency: a full clean before set-up, daily visits early in the morning, and a complete clean once the crews have left. If you are also looking for a venue, our concierge service rents out apartments and villas for congresses.
A congress showroom sees a lot of people in a short time: marked floors, glasses left everywhere, washrooms under pressure. The morning visit is short and targeted, so everything is ready before the first meetings without getting in the way of the teams arriving.
- Full clean before set-up
- Daily visit before the first meeting
- Reset after drinks or a reception
- End-of-event clean after dismantling
Residences and common areas
In residential buildings in La Californie, on the Croisette or in the centre, the common areas are the building's shop window. Lobby, letterboxes, mirrors, stairs, landings, lifts, bin stores and car parks: each area has its own frequency, agreed with the managing agent or the residents' committee.
Many Cannes residences live by the seasons: half empty in winter, full in summer or during congresses. The checklist can follow that rhythm, with more frequent visits when the building is busy and times chosen so as not to disturb residents.
In buildings where apartments are let by the week, we can also add a common-area visit after the main departure days, when lobbies and lifts have seen plenty of suitcases go by.
- Lobby, mirrors and letterboxes
- Stairs, landings and banisters
- Lifts: car, doors and buttons
- Bin stores washed and disinfected
- Car parks and entrances, at the agreed frequency
The care of a prestige property
Clicknkey grew out of prestige real estate, and every week our team prepares exceptional villas and apartments. We bring that same standard to the marble lobbies, brass fittings, wood panelling and tall mirrors of upmarket residences.
Each material has its own product and its own technique: no harsh detergent on limestone, no abrasive cloth on brass, not a single streak on a three-metre mirror. These instructions are written into the checklist, so the result is the same whatever the day.
We also respect what gives an older building its character: a wrought-iron banister, a mosaic floor, original glazed doors. Care for those details shows every time someone walks into the lobby.
What the Cleannproof report contains
Cleannproof is our own software. During the visit, every checklist item is ticked off and photographed on site; arrival and departure times are time-stamped by our server and cannot be changed.
The report goes to the person you choose: agency director, office manager, event project lead or property manager. A managing agent can show the residents' committee exactly what was done, landing by landing, without an inspection visit.
The report history stays available at any time, which makes conversations easier with a landlord, a building manager or a demanding client.
- Arrival and departure times
- Completed items, area by area
- Photos taken during the visit
- Issues reported: bulb, leak, damage, bulky waste
Our own team, just round the corner
We do not subcontract. The people who come into your premises are part of our own team, work to our method and are supervised from our office, six minutes' walk from the Palais des Festivals.
Being close means we can react quickly: an extra visit before an important viewing, a clean-up after a water leak, extra hands during a congress week. We also work in Le Cannet, Mougins and as far as Nice. When the town is busy and the roads are slow, being on foot from the centre is a real advantage.
The same team works in the villas and apartments we manage and for our business clients. Standards do not change from one place to another.
Setting up your cleaning
We start with a free visit to the offices or the residence, to look at surfaces, access, keys and any building constraints. For a congress showroom, we agree the set-up and dismantling dates together.
You receive a checklist and a quote. After the first visit, we go through the report with you and adjust whatever needs adjusting. Your checklist can evolve as your premises do.
For a residence, we can present the checklist to the residents' committee, so everyone knows exactly what the cleaning covers.
