What trademark class is a cleaning company in?

Most cleaning companies register in class 37. Class 37 covers construction & repair. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.

Do cleaning companies need to register in more than one class?

Often, yes. A trademark is only protected in the classes you register, and you pay a fee for each one. Cleaning companies usually start with class 37, then add others as the business grows.

How much does it cost a cleaning company to register a trademark?

Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a cleaning company covering class 37 pays about £205. The fee isn't refunded if your mark is refused — which is why checking the name is free first matters.

Which trademark classes does a cleaning company need?

Most cleaning companies register in class 37 (Construction & repair).

Cleaning of buildings is a service in the construction-and-maintenance class — which surprises people who expect it with cleaning products. The detergents and sprays you might sell sit in a separate goods class.

Before you file in class 37, make sure the name is free. If it's already taken, your application can be refused — and the £205 IPO fee isn't refunded. Checking takes seconds and costs nothing.
