Commercial window cleaning in Leeds on a set cycle

We clean the glass, frames, cladding and signage on commercial buildings in Leeds and across Yorkshire. External windows are washed from the ground with pure-water reach-and-wash poles, internal glass is cleaned by hand, and every site has a written frequency for each elevation.

Commercial Window Cleaning in Leeds and across Yorkshire

Pure-water cleaning uses filtered water fed through a brush on a telescopic pole. The operative stays on the ground, scrubs the glass and frames, and rinses them. Because the water has had its minerals removed, it dries without spotting and no detergent is left on the glass. Frames and sills are washed at the same time, which keeps dirt from running back down the pane after the next shower of rain.

Not every window can be reached with a pole. Glass above a canopy, behind a parapet or over a lightwell may need a different method. We do not guess at this from photographs. High-level access is assessed at the site visit, where we look at each elevation, the ground conditions below it and any obstructions. The written schedule then states plainly which windows are included and how each one will be reached.

Internal glass is a separate task with its own frequency. It covers the inside faces of windows, glazed partitions, entrance doors and atrium balustrades, cleaned by hand so that desks and floors stay dry. We also wash cladding panels and fascia signage, which hold traffic film and algae and soon make a clean building look neglected. These washes are usually booked once or twice a year alongside a normal window visit.

When the glazing needs attention

  • Upper floor windows are visibly dirtier than those at ground level.
  • Green or grey staining is showing on north-facing cladding panels.
  • The shop front is cleaned but the signage above it never is.
  • The window cleaner arrives without notice and leaves no record of the visit.
  • Glazed partitions and entrance doors are marked with fingerprints by mid-week.
  • Nobody can say when the rear elevation was last washed.

What is included

Reach-and-wash exterior cleaning

Glass, frames and sills washed from the ground with pure water and a pole-fed brush.

Internal glass

Inside faces of windows, doors and partitions cleaned by hand with minimal disruption to the people working nearby.

Cladding washes

Metal and composite panels washed down to lift traffic film, algae and general grime.

Signage and fascia washes

Fascia boards, lettering and projecting signs cleaned so the frontage matches the glass.

Entrance and shop front glazing

Doors, side screens and display windows cleaned more often than the remainder of the building if needed.

High-level glazing review

Windows beyond pole reach are looked at during the visit and the access method is set out in writing.

How it runs

1. Site visit

We go round every elevation, count the panes, check water and vehicle access and look at what sits beneath each window. Any glass that a pole cannot reach is noted for separate assessment.

2. Written window schedule

The schedule lists each elevation, the method used and how often it is cleaned. Internal glass, cladding and signage appear as separate lines so you can include or leave out each one.

3. Mobilisation

We agree visit days, parking for the van, which areas need cordoning and who signs the operative in. Tenants or staff can be given notice of the first visit if you want that.

4. Reporting and review

After each visit you get a record of what was cleaned and anything that could not be reached, with the reason. The cycle is reviewed at agreed intervals and adjusted if an elevation soils faster.

Commercial Window Cleaning: common questions

  • It depends on the location and the use of the building. Frontages on busy main roads pick up traffic film quickly and are often cleaned monthly. Office parks away from heavy traffic may suit a longer cycle. We suggest a frequency for each elevation after the site visit and you decide what goes in the schedule.
  • Reach-and-wash poles let us clean a good deal of glass from the ground. Anything beyond that is assessed at the site visit, elevation by elevation. We will tell you in writing which windows we can clean, by what method, and which ones fall outside the contract.
  • Usually not. The van carries its own tank of purified water, so we only need somewhere to park within hose distance of the building. On sites where the van cannot get close we will discuss the options with you at the visit, before the schedule is written.
  • External cleaning is done from outside and needs little from you beyond access to the elevations. Hoses across walkways are signed and kept tidy. Internal glass is cleaned at times written into the schedule, which can be before opening if a busy shop floor or reception makes daytime work awkward.
  • Yes, and it is often sensible to do so. The equipment is already on site and the building looks consistent afterwards. Cladding and signage are listed separately in the schedule with their own frequency, since they seldom need washing as often as the glass.
