What to Look for When Choosing a High Rise Cleaner
Choosing a window cleaning company with the correct qualifications and training is crucial. It’s easy too. Choose a contractor who displays their accreditation and memberships to associations. These accreditations are not just empty badges, they show that a company has passed rigorous vetting procedures and continual checking to ensure that they offer consistently safe and high standard services.

Aquamark is an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 registered firm.

If In Doubt, Ask!
If you’re not sure of your current window cleaner’s health and safety policies, ask! A respectable firm will show you their up to date policies without any issue. They will also be able to discuss what this means in terms of the service they provide and how their staff work to the guidelines on each and every job. Ask about professional membership to leading industry bodies and associations too. Firms such as Aquamark work hard to achieve and maintain these accreditations so are happy to show off their memberships at any given opportunity!
The safety of your employees and visitors is not worth the gamble so make sure that your window cleaning operators are fully trained and up to date with all the Health and Safety guidelines that are in place to keep us all safe. For professional, risk-free commercial window cleaning,
