When you’re making arrangements for your office cleaning requirements, one area you’ll need to look at is the cleaning of the windows. Most multi-occupancy offices get one company to do the whole lot. On the ground floor, any window cleaner is going to be able to do a good job of your windows. If you’re any further up the building – or in a challenging area such as a corner – you’ll need a company that can employ specialist cleaning techniques.

Cleaning companies will offer a number of ways to get high windows sparkling, including cherry pickers, water-fed poles and with cradle access. Not many offer abseil cleaning, though. Aquamark has invested a lot of money kitting out abseil window cleaners and ensuring they work to the highest possible safety standards so that you get the best possible result.

What Is Abseiling Window Cleaning?

Abseiling window cleaning is also known as rope access window cleaning. It’s essentially an offshoot of mountaineering designed to tackle windows in very high buildings. The humble beginnings of abseiling has come a long way.

Your window cleaner will be attached to ropes and a harness, and will descend the building slowly, cleaning windows by hand as they go. This gives the benefit of close attention for every pane, unlike some techniques that result in a rushed job, or a quick wipe from a distance.

It’s possible for an abseil window cleaner to clean tight corners, and get right to the edge of each pane. Despite the intricate task, it’s inherently very safe and is the best way to get a sparkling shine on very high windows and glass.

Does Abseil Window Cleaning Save Money?

When looking at costs with abseil window cleaning, we have to be able to compare solutions for the same situation. Often, the only alternative to abseilin cleaning is to use a cradle, but that’s not as simple as it sounds.

Cradle equipment is expensive to buy and use, and there’s a huge upfront investment required. Some buildings aren’t suitable for installation of a cradle, so there are really no safe and economical alternatives to abseil cleaning.

Also, factor in the convenience. Abseil window cleaners are always working outside, so there’s very little disturbance to anyone whilst the work is carried out. Staff can remain at their desks, pedestrians don’t have to make a detour around equipment, and vehicle traffic does not need to be directed away from the site.

Finally, we believe in a job well done. With abseiling window cleaning, the operative can get incredibly close to the window, much closer than another cleaner using alternative methods. This means that none of the window is missed, and they can get right into the corners. As a result, the windows won’t need cleaning again as soon as we’re done.
