Cleaning, building services and landscaping: business data for France

Office and window cleaning firms, facility service providers, chimney sweeps, disinfection and pest control, landscapers and grounds maintenance: for suppliers of products and equipment, publishers of scheduling software and clients looking for contractors in a département.

Our database for France holds 1,577,933 records (as of 4 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.

Export of the whole industry: €359 (full price). Selections by region, department or your own filters are quoted on request.

Official statistics: 168,048 businesses in France according to Eurostat, structural business statistics (sbs_ovw_act) (reference year 2024, data as of 30 September 2026). Division 81 services to buildings and landscape activities: combined facilities support (81.1), cleaning (81.2) and landscaping (81.3). This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.

Finding contractors by service area

Choose the subclass (general cleaning, specialised cleaning, pest control or landscaping), then the départements covered. The phone number serves call campaigns, the website lets you check the services offered.

Our records do not yet carry a NAF code: selecting by activity (NAF subclass) will only be possible for records matched with the Sirene database (matching in progress). The quote states what can be done today: area and required fields.

The official figure for the industry combines cleaning, facility services and landscaping. It does not tell you how many firms actually work in a given département.

Price of the whole industry: €359. A selection by region, sub-industry or required fields is quoted individually; the whole-industry price is not a price promise for the filtered selection.

What counts as Cleaning, building services and landscaping

Division 81 of the NAF covers services to buildings once they are built: general cleaning (81.21Z), specialised and industrial cleaning (81.22Z), disinfection and pest control (81.29A), and landscape planting and maintenance (81.30Z). A provider that handles cleaning, reception and security on the same site is classified in 81.10Z.

According to INSEE, chimney sweeping and window cleaning belong to 81.22Z; swimming pool maintenance, cleaning of trains or aircraft and snow clearing of roads to 81.29B. Garden design falls under landscape architecture (71.11Z, in Architects and engineering consultancies), landscape construction works under construction, and car washes under the motor trade.

No dedicated trade register, but rules that shape the work

We have found no public register specific to cleaning or landscaping. Two sources are still useful:

National business register
Like all businesses, firms in this industry are registered in the national business register (RNE), the single registration register since 1 January 2023; its data can be consulted free of charge on DATA INPI. It is not a directory of contractors by trade.
No pesticides in living areas
Since 1 July 2022 the use of phytopharmaceutical products has been banned in living areas, including private residential properties, hotels and campsites, cemeteries and the green spaces of workplaces; apart from exemptions, only biocontrol, low-risk products and products authorised for organic farming remain allowed (note by DRAAF Occitanie).

Not in the export

  • certificates and approvals for using phytopharmaceutical or biocidal products
  • clients, current contracts and maintained sites
  • quality labels and certifications
  • number of employees and turnover
  • mobile numbers of team leaders

The 15 columns supplied are described on the export page.

Head office, branches and client sites

A cleaning or landscaping firm works at its clients’ premises: the address in the export is that of the business or its branch, never that of the sites it maintains. For a service area, remember to include the neighbouring départements.

Large contractors have branches in several départements. Once matched with the Sirene database, each branch has its own SIRET and all share the company’s SIREN, so you can group the records of one company or target each branch separately.

Where the contractor is a sole proprietor (entrepreneur individuel), their contact details are personal data: the GDPR requires informing the person and respecting their objection. The forme_juridique column, filled in once matched with Sirene, lets you identify these records.

Questions

Cleaning, building services and landscaping: frequently asked questions

Not yet: our records do not carry a NAF code yet. Disinfection and pest control have their own subclass, 81.29A; selection by NAF code will be possible for records matched with the Sirene database (matching in progress), and the quote states how many records have a NAF code and how many do not yet.

No. INSEE classifies landscape design and architecture in 71.11Z, with architecture; this industry covers planting and maintenance (81.30Z). To reach both, combine this list with architects and engineering consultancies.
