GXO Lutterworth: High-Level Internal Cleaning Restores Warehouse Standards After 10 Years

Exterius completed a three-week internal high-level deep clean at GXO’s Lutterworth site, safely removing over a decade of dust and debris build-up across the 19-metre warehouse. Using a mix of SpaceVac and MEWP access systems, the team delivered outstanding results with zero disruption to operations—transforming the working environment and leading to further site commissions across the UK.

Overview of the GXO Lutterworth Project

Exterius was commissioned by GXO to undertake a comprehensive internal high-level deep clean at their Lutterworth facility – a large-scale warehouse that had not been deep cleaned in over a decade.

With the building reaching a height of 19 metres, the project required a specialist contractor capable of safely delivering precision cleaning in a live operational environment…

The Scope of Work

• Full warehouse walls and steel purlins
• Extraction kits and ducting
• Plant room curtain walls
• Extensive pipework and overhead structures
