Housing officers managing communal blocks need routine communal-area cleaning as the baseline, plus a fast, insured response for the incidents that come up on an estate — needles, biohazard incidents and fly-tipping. For a routine block, a scheduled communal clean covers it; for an incident, a rapid specialist response is needed instead.
