The outside areas of any building are incredibly important, particularly when it comes to first impressions. Clean premises help to project a professional image to industry peers, make customers feel welcome and ensure visitors to the building feel they are entering a business that cares about its reputation. For any company that serves food, cleanliness is especially important.

If the inside of the building is clean and tidy, that’s a great indicator of pride in the work being carried out by the staff. If the outside is dirty and looking a bit run down, you’ve got an uphill struggle ahead.

Outside areas

There are a number of outside areas of a building that can become dirty and unkempt. These really lower the image of a company:

  • Car park area; weeds, litter and broken glass
  • Dirty signage
  • Grimy windows
  • Guttering with overflowing leaves giving your guests a shower
  • Fascias which look tired and dirty
  • Overflowing litter bins
  • Unemptied cigarette bins

Cleaning is the answer

If this sounds like an office you work for – or even own – you need to act fast. Rectify the problem and put a plan in place to maintain a smart appearance.

  • All staff should be informed that they have a personal responsibility for looking after their workplace – both inside and out. While they can’t be expected to clean the toilets, they have a responsibility to look after the facilities and avoid littering
  • Managers need to understand the effect on ROI. A dirty building exterior will lower the customer experience and will present a poor image to surrounding businesses who keep the outside of their building presentable
  • The business can be liable to claims if anyone is injured through negligence. Make sure broken glass and cigarette ends are cleaned up, spills are mopped and damage is repaired promptly
  • Cleaner windows help employees to get more natural light, and this really helps to improve health and well being, particularly in winter when sunlight is scarce

Where to turn to

Many jobs, such as cleaning upper floor windows and guttering, require equipment that can only be used by those who have received training for working at height. But even a run of the mill job should be assigned to a dedicated cleaning company.

Our window cleaning specialists will make a site visit to formulate a plan and can then start work on making the building and surrounding area look presentable. This might include cleaning the windows, the frames, windowsills, cleansing guttering and power washing the paving outside. Our cleaners also wash any type of signage, from painted to plastic, without causing damage or decay. By making use of the correct tools, such as water-fed poles we can ensure the job is carried out efficiently.
