12 Apr, 2026
Professional communications connecting your office team with field operatives.
We understand the specific telephony requirements and communication workflows of cleaning & fm businesses — ensuring every handset, call flow and integration is tailored to how your team works.
Bespoke VoIP and phone system packages designed specifically for the cleaning & fm sector, aligned with your team size, call volumes and integration needs.
Centrally located in the City of London, providing hands-on VoIP deployment, network configuration and face-to-face support for cleaning & fm firms.
Three routes to modern business telephony. We recommend the right one based on how your team actually works — not what generates the biggest commission.
Full cloud phone system
A complete business phone system hosted in the cloud — no PBX hardware on your premises. Calls route through secure data centres with automatic failover, giving you enterprise-grade reliability with zero maintenance. Scales from 2 users to 2,000.
Calling inside Teams
Already using Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings? Add external calling directly inside Teams — one app for everything. Your team makes and receives calls from their existing Teams interface on desktop, mobile or IP handsets. No separate phone system needed.
IP connectivity for existing PBX
Already have a PBX you're happy with? SIP trunking connects it to the internet instead of traditional ISDN lines — slashing your call costs while adding disaster recovery and flexible call routing. Keep your existing investment, modernise the connection.
Cleaning and FM companies need phone systems that work for both office staff handling client enquiries and field supervisors managing mobile teams. Traditional phone systems tie communications to a single office, limiting operational flexibility.
Cloudswitched provides mobile-ready VoIP for UK cleaning and facilities management businesses. Our solutions connect your office, supervisors, and field teams under one professional phone system accessible from any device.

IT company first, telecoms provider second. That's why your phone system actually integrates with everything else.
We configure QoS, firewalls, VLANs and network settings properly — not just plug in phones and hope for the best. Your voice quality is our responsibility.
Phone system, internet connection and IT support — all managed by one team. No finger-pointing between providers when something goes wrong.
We don't just tick a box — we properly integrate your phone system with your CRM so screen pops, call logging and click-to-dial actually work reliably.
If Microsoft Teams Voice is all you need, we won't upsell you a full hosted PBX. We recommend based on what fits your business, not our margin.
We assess your broadband, configure QoS and test call quality before go-live. If your connection isn't good enough for VoIP, we'll fix that first — we do connectivity too.
VoIP fraud is real — hackers can run up thousands in international call charges overnight. Our systems include fraud detection and call barring to protect your business.
We manage the entire porting process — coordinating with carriers, scheduling the switchover and ensuring zero downtime. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Softphone apps on every device mean your team can make and receive calls from their business number whether they're in the office, at home or on the road.
Adding a new user takes minutes, not weeks. No engineer visits, no hardware orders, no waiting. Your phone system grows as fast as your business does.
