Other Guides
The Essential Guide to Abseil Window Cleaning
Abseil access is one of the most versatile ways to clean a building, with no height restrictions and no machinery set-up time. This guide explains how trained rope access teams work, how to plan a clean, and how to prepare your staff and visitors.
Perfect for: Property managers with buildings that can’t take cradles or cherry pickers, or with awkward, hard-to-reach glazing.
The Essential Guide to BMU (Cradle) Window Cleaning
Building Maintenance Units are permanently installed on a building, so access is always on hand. This guide explains why BMUs suit high-rise facades, the safety and certification checks to confirm, and what to expect from a cleaning team using one.
Perfect for: Managers of high-rise buildings with a BMU already installed, or those wanting to understand how their cradle should be maintained and used.
The Essential Guide to Cherry Picker (MEWP) Window Cleaning
Cherry pickers (MEWPs) reach heights of up to 200ft and get to windows other methods can’t, such as those behind balconies or in recessed areas. This guide covers the benefits, the ground space, obstruction and permit questions to ask, and why we use them.
Perfect for: Property managers needing a flexible solution for one-off or occasional cleans, or buildings with obstacles that block other access methods.
