High Level Window Cleaning

Possibly. Send photos showing the whole side of the building and the ground below the windows, not just the glass itself. We need to see what makes access difficult. The answer may involve a water fed pole or an access platform, but the method needs to be assessed for your building.

No. The working angle and obstacles can reduce what is practically reachable. A window above a roof extension or behind a balcony is different from one directly above clear ground. Our equipment can reach up to 80 feet in suitable conditions, but we assess the layout before confirming the scope.

A platform may be considered where a suitable pole method cannot reach the glass properly. It also needs room to enter and operate, suitable ground and clearance around the work. Send any information about gates, narrow routes, slopes or restricted parking. The access method and associated costs need to be agreed before booking.

We can often start with photos, a postcode and an approximate height. A site visit may be needed where access is uncertain or equipment needs closer planning. If you already have drawings or details of how the windows were previously accessed, those can help us understand the job.

Raise this when asking for a quote. Where a platform is proposed, the arrangements, responsibilities and costs need to be clear before work is scheduled. We can also discuss the insurance information, risk assessments and method statements your organisation needs. Tell us about any site approvals or contractor documents required in advance.

Usually the main issue is controlling the working area rather than emptying the building. Entrances, pedestrian routes and parking may need temporary arrangements. Tell us which routes must stay available and any restrictions on noise or working hours so the proposed method can take them into account.

Wind, ice and other conditions can make work unsuitable, particularly when using long poles or access platforms. The decision depends on the site and equipment, not simply whether it is raining. If conditions prevent the agreed work, the visit or remaining areas will need to be rearranged.

Yes, where suitable access has been established. Tell us whether the higher windows need cleaning as often as the lower glass. Different frequencies may make sense for different elevations. If specialist access is involved, planning those visits in advance helps make the arrangements and costs clear.
