More Than Just a Cleaning Company

Tarem Services Limited is a UK social enterprise cleaning company tackling in-work poverty while delivering professional cleaning and labour services.

Founded in 1999 with support from The King’s Trust, Tarem Services was created to address a persistent issue in the cleaning and facilities sector: essential workers often being paid low wages despite the vital role they play in keeping workplaces safe, clean and operational.

For over two decades, we have combined high-quality professional services with a clear social mission. Our aim is to deliver reliable services while creating fairer opportunities for the people who carry out this work every day. Today, Tarem Services delivers services across London and other areas including the Midlands, South East, South West and East of England.

Our Story

The idea behind Tarem Services came from first-hand experience of the challenges faced by cleaners working across London.

Many workers were travelling between multiple job sites for only a few hours of work, often earning low wages despite providing an essential service to businesses and communities.

Tarem Services was founded to demonstrate that a different approach was possible. A model where service quality, fair wages and social responsibility can exist together.

Over the years, the company has grown into a trusted provider of professional services while remaining focused on its founding purpose: improving opportunities for cleaners and other blue-collar workers.

Professional Services with Social Value

Tarem Services provides essential services to organisations that expect reliability, professionalism and responsible business practices.

Our core services include:

Every service is delivered with a focus on high standards, dependable service and ethical employment practices.

Tarem Services is also an accredited Living Wage Employer, reflecting our commitment to fair pay for the people delivering our services.

Our Social Mission

Tarem Services exists to tackle in-work poverty, particularly among cleaners and frontline workers.

The cleaning industry plays a crucial role in the economy, yet it remains one of the lowest-paid sectors. Many workers face insecure hours, low wages and limited opportunities for progression.

Tarem Services was founded to challenge this reality by creating a business model that combines professional service delivery with fair employment practices.

Our approach focuses on three key areas:


Fair Pay and Opportunity

We promote fair wages and opportunities for employees to benefit from the success of the company. Many team members also have the opportunity to become shareholders after six months of continued service, and all staff receive monthly profit shares.

Responsible Business Practices

We aim to reduce environmental impact through responsible operations and the use of eco-conscious products wherever possible.

Community Engagement

We support initiatives that strengthen communities and provide opportunities for young people and vulnerable groups.

Through this approach, Tarem Services demonstrates that businesses can deliver professional services while also addressing important social challenges.

Tackling Food Insecurity

In October 2024, Tarem Services expanded its social mission by launching a Mobile Foodbank initiative.

The programme provides food essential items to communities experiencing hardship. Since its launch, the initiative has supported over 1,624 individuals in the communities we serve.

This initiative reflects our belief that businesses have a role to play in supporting the communities around them.
