Traditional and Reach & Wash
Window cleaning from the ground UP
Traditional mop and squeegee still gives the best results, which is why we do most ground floor windows with this method.
Using a water fed or Reach & wash method is now commonplace for commercial window cleaning services. Particularly where the windows are above ground, it becomes the preferred method due to removing the need to work at height.
Our window cleaning services cover retail, restaurants, hotels, industrial units, hospitals, offices, petrol stations, care homes, council buildings, government buildings, offices, colleges and schools all over the UK.
Reach & wash window cleaning services upto 80ft. Windows, frames, cladding, canopy and building wash downs. All done from the ground to reduce the risk as much as possible.
All our operatives are trained in all aspects of window cleaning. We believe in improving our workforce and commitment to the highest of safety standards.
