465 Units. 5 Days. One Crew of 45.
The Tannery, Leicester needed a full summer turnover deep clean across every ensuite, studio and kitchen before the next intake of tenants arrived — with zero margin for delay. Here's exactly how Klean Touch delivered it, and the inspection result at handover.
Client: The Tannery, Leicester — 115 Bath Lane, Leicester LE3 5EU, operated by Fresh Student Living.
A compressed 5-day window, no room for delay
The brief was a full summer turnover across 465 units at The Tannery in Leicester — every ensuite, studio and kitchen, including intensive kitchen and oven degreasing, finished before the next intake of students arrived. That volume of deep-clean work left effectively zero margin for delays: any lost day would have to be recovered inside an already tight schedule.
Scope: 465 units — ensuites, studios and kitchens — including heavy-duty oven and appliance degreasing, ahead of the next tenant intake.
Constraint: a fixed 5-day deadline, requiring an average completion rate of 93 units per day to hit handover on time.
How we hit 93 units a day without cutting corners
Precision Scheduling Against a Fixed Deadline
With zero margin for delay, the 465-unit scope was broken into a day-by-day, block-by-block schedule built to sustain an average of 93 completed units per day across the full 5-day window.
Coordinated Deployment of a 45-Person Crew
Managing a crew of this size on a single site requires clear zone ownership and task sequencing so teams working on ensuites, studios and kitchens in parallel never duplicate or miss a unit.
Strict Inspection Before Every Handover
Every one of the 465 units went through an internal inspection before being signed off, including the heavy-duty kitchen and oven degreasing work — catching issues before handover, not after.
