Member voices
Hear it from the industry.
As someone fairly new to the cleaning industry, I’ve found CSSA the best way to get to know the people behind the businesses. Being part of the Southern Community Group puts me in the same room as operators, suppliers and trainers, and some of my best working relationships started at SCG events. People get involved because it’s a friendly, open group where you can ask a question and get an honest answer from someone who’s been doing this for twenty years. You come away with useful contacts and a real sense of being part of the industry.

THE STANDARD EVERY MEMBER SIGNS UP TO
Our Code of Practice.
Buyers can expect the same four commitments from every CSSA member.
Members maintain a quality of service that meets the customer's specification. They provide the correct equipment, materials and supervision to meet the contract, and verified third-party accreditations.
Members hold public liability insurance to protect customer property, and employers' liability insurance to protect their people. Up-to-date policy documents are provided.
Members maintain safe working practices, with the right equipment, supervision and verified third-party accreditations.
Members comply with the legislation that applies to our industry and keep proper accounts and records in line with company law. Compliance is mandatory.
Fees
Priced for the size of your business.
What membership costs
Fees depend on your member type and your turnover band, so a micro-business does not pay what a national contractor pays.
We confirm your fee when you apply, before you commit to anything.

- A voice with government on the issues that affect you
