If your office has a particularly unique design, or it’s not set up for cradle cleaning, you’ll benefit from abseil window cleaning to clean your high-rise buildings, office blocks or tower blocks.
With rope access window cleaning, the work can be carried out safely and at a greater speed than other methods; there’s also minimal disruption to those working or living inside.
It offers a safe option when cleaning hard to reach areas, ideal for buildings that lack equipment infrastructure and have awkward angles.
Let’s look at some of the things you can do to make the process go smoothly within just 3 steps…
Step 1 – The Building Assessment
The first step is to work with experienced specialists to carry out a building risk assessment. This is vital so that both parties know the scope of the project and can plan for potential risks.
Abseil window cleaning requires complex manoeuvres, and an expert is required so they can assess the skills needed for the job to provide an exceptional window clean.
You should make sure your contractor uses guidance from the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA), in conjunction with HSE guidelines. This will ensure they’re well-trained to conduct your window clean.
It’s important to note that rules and recommendations change all the time, and most modern guidance must be followed.
Step 2 – Communication
Once the risk assessment is complete and the date is set for the work to take place, communication is crucial, you need to make sure the preparation is done properly.
For staff, give the date and approximate time of the work so they’re aware that windows must be closed, and that work should carry on as usual inside the building. With this, they’re aware that there shouldn’t be disruptions to their day.
Visitors should be told in advance that they may need to enter the building from a different entrance, that warning signs could be placed and that they may need to park in a different place for safety. Meetings should be held in rooms with blinds where possible, to avoid distraction.
If your office is straight onto the street you will need to discuss barriers and signage to ensure pedestrians are re-routed effectively. You can also talk about access to the roof, so your commercial window cleaners can tidy up before they descend.
Step 3 -The Importance Of Specialist Knowledge
As abseiling cleaning experts, we understand the potential risks of working at height. It’s not just about descending safely, but also about achieving a high standard of cleaning on the way down.
So, it’s essential to speak to professionals when it comes to your commercial window cleaning solution.
The combination of rope work and window cleaning skills is not easy to come by, and you need to consult the right people to prepare.
