McDonalds Restaurants




CEI Services has been working with various Mcdonalds restaurants for the past couple of years but recently we have been quoting at more restaurants than ever. We have now formed great working relationships with several managers who really are great people. They want an outstanding first impression to be created for their customers and as we are big on 1st impressions here at CEI we feel we can exceed their expectations. We now have contracts and regular cleans of many locations throughout Cumbria, Northumberland, Yorkshire and Lancashire and as we are able to offer tailored services and "special" McDonalds rates we hope this is a business relationship that will just keep on growing! As a lot of the restaurants are similar in their layout and size we know exactly how to approach each job to produce the best results!

Chewing gum removal, graffiti removal,application of anti graffiti coatings, building and roof cleaning, painting works, car park and drive thru cleaning, hygiene and sanitation services and some minor repairs are a selection of the services we have provided McDonalds outlets throughout Northern England. We are proud of our work with this client and hope it continues to develop for many years to come!

Councils and local authorities


CEI Services has worked hard to build up our reputation both locally and nationally and as you can see by the types of businesses we regularly work with, HSBC, McDonalds, Lloyds Motor Group and Iceland we have a right to be proud of our work and our end results. The one issue that mystifies us is the lack of support we receive from our local authorities with regards to giving out work to local businesses. We feel it shows a lack of support for exactly the type of people and businesses the council should be encouraging! We have approached authorities throughout Cumbria periodically for the past 2-3 years and have made relatively very little progress. We even approached Allerdale with an extremely cost effective plan to rid our entire borough of graffiti within 18 months. After documenting literally hundreds of graffiti images taken in and around Workington and Cockermouth we took the images and a plan of action to the council. In fact we sent the information to several different managers and senior officials, and we didnt even get a single response!



The limited work we have completed for councils and parish councils has produced outstanding results and repeat business so we know we can satisfy the demands placed upon us in terms of health and safety and end results. We are proud to be based in Cumbria and would love to be given the opportunity to improve the look of more public areas.

CEI Services Donates Money To Cockermouth Flood Victims

As mentioned earlier on in this blog, CEI Services Company Secretary Kate Archer, CEI staff and friends managed to raise £350 at Kates 60th birthday party. We all wanted this money to go to those most affected by the floods last year. We contacted the flood fund and several local organisations as we wanted our money to go directly to someone who needed it, but had little or no response. We even took out an advert in the paper offering the money and our flood restoration services free of charge to someone or to a family in need. Still we had no response. This says a lot about the way our community has pulled together in these hard times, free money, free restoration services, no takers!

Kate began working at one of the drop in centres in the centre of Cockermouth set up to offer care and advice to those who need it and in doing this she soon started to meet plenty of people who would gratefully receive what we were offering. After several encounters with Mr and Mrs Casson, Cockermouth residents whose home and lives had been disrupted by the floods, Kate decided to give the cheque to them so that they could get away from it all for a few days or put it towards whatever they need the most.

It is a pleasure to be able to help and our offer of free flood restoration assistance still stands, we are involved in several small projects in and around Cockermouth, working with insurance companies and local businesses. It is incredible to see the way our small town has pulled together and I think we can all now see genuine progress being made both on the Main Street and int he surrounding areas.
