Window Cleaning Services

Maintaining the visual clarity and structural health of a building’s exterior requires a systematic approach to cleaning. We provide expert-led façade washing services that leverage our deep understanding of access machinery to deliver superior results without compromising safety.

Scheduled Façade Maintenance

We provide tailored window cleaning programmes—including quarterly, bi-annual, or bespoke cycles—designed to meet the specific architectural needs of your building.

Specialist Access Techniques

Our teams are experts in utilising Building Maintenance Units (BMUs), suspended cradles, and rope access, ensuring full coverage of the building envelope while minimising disruption.

Environmentally Conscious Cleaning

We utilise advanced reach-and-wash systems and eco-friendly cleaning agents to deliver a streak-free finish without harming the building’s materials or the surrounding environment.

Safety-First Operations

Every project is preceded by a rigorous risk assessment and method statement (RAMS), verifying all safety systems before work begins to ensure total compliance with Work at Height Regulations.

Glass Replacement Services

When glazing fails or sustains damage, it poses a risk to both the building’s thermal performance and public safety. Our glass replacement service manages the entire lifecycle of a repair, from the logistics of heavy lifting to the final verification of the unit’s weather-tight seal.

Emergency & Planned Replacement

We offer rapid-response emergency repairs and planned replacements for failed units, ensuring the new glass matches the original architectural specifications perfectly.

Heavy Lifting & Specialist Rigging

For oversized or heavy units, we employ specialist vacuum lifting frames and bespoke rigging, coordinating with BMUs to transport and place glass with precision.

Façade Integrity Testing

Following any replacement, we perform essential checks to verify weather-tightness and ensure the thermal and acoustic properties of the façade remain uncompromised.

Logistics & Pedestrian Management

We handle all necessary urban permits and implement strict exclusion zones during lifting operations to ensure the safety of the public and site personnel.
