High Rise Building & Tower Block Cleaning: A Guide to Choosing a Contractor

Hiring a high rise cleaning company? Then this guide is for you. It explains the latest techniques for cleaning tower blocks or any types of awkward to reach buildings internally and externally, and what to look for in a specialist commercial cleaning contractor.

Obviously this is a dangerous and difficult area of work and only the best, fully qualified and experienced high rise commercial cleaners should be contracted to carry out the work. What are the key aspects to look for in a high quality commercial cleaning company?

Fully Equipped with Specialist High Rise Cleaning Equipment

The best commercial cleaning companies will have modern, state of the art equipment that can effectively clean high rise buildings such as tower blocks, apartment complexes, retail units, industrial premises and office blocks. These will include:

Water Fed Poles: Minimal Disruption; Cost Effective

Water fed poles is one the most advanced technologies currently in use by the most renowned commercial cleaning companies. They use a form of pure water which eliminates the need for detergents. When pure water flows over a surface, it absorbs all existing substances such as dirt and grime, leaving a clean, smear free finish. Poles can reach heights of over 70 feet and create minimal disruption to the building. They are perhaps the most cost effective option available. Ask each cleaning company if they offer this option to gage how up to date the company really is in its practices.

Abseiling: No Need for Scaffolding or Cradles; No Damage Caused to Buildings

If your building has hard to reach places either in the interior or exterior, then fully qualified Industrial Rope Access Trained Association (IRATA) teams may be the best option to clean your high rise block. IRATA specialists should provide a free site survey of the building to better understand the layout and to secure the best anchorage points. Fully qualified abseiling teams will cause no damage to the building and as they avoid the need for scaffolding and cradles, would cause minimal disruption to those living or working in the building. 

Health and Safety

Perhaps the most important aspect when researching which commercial cleaning company can provide the best service is the safety procedures that they have in place. All technicians should be independently tested and assessed and should follow government regulated guidelines.  Undertrained technicians are dangerous not only to themselves, but also to others around them.

Full Guarantees

Before starting to clean high rise buildings, apartment or office blocks, a cleaning company should make you fully aware of the risks involved and provide you will a full guarantee that all procedures are followed and adhered to. Supervisors should monitor the work carried out to check on safety procedure and quality.

The key to selecting the ideal commercial cleaning company is to do your research. Ask about the equipment at their disposal and about its benefits. The specialist high rise cleaning company should offer free site visits and estimations. Be sure that the company you choose has fully qualified and trained staff as well as clear and in depth safety guidelines that are strictly followed at all times. Do not cut corners on safety. A commercial cleaning company worth its salt certainly will not.
