Window Cleaning

Our clients can rely on our professional approach to solve their entire window cleaning requirements. For every window cleaning job the choice of access equipment will be determined by the height to be negotiated, site conditions, duration and extent of work and frequency of access.

At ARL we utilise mobile operatives travelling from site to site to clean several smaller premises over the course of the day or static operatives working on a larger site for a few days, weeks or even full time. Where access to windows is not straightforward we can provide a full range of access methods, including aerial platforms, the Reach and Wash system, abseiling and experienced cradle operatives.

An ARL manager will visit a prospective client to discuss their window cleaning requirements and will design a cleaning program to meet these as efficiently and as safely as possible.

Mobile Operatives

At ARL we utilise mobile operatives travelling from site to site to clean several smaller premises over the course of the day. Due to the large number of commercial and retail clients that we already service we not only cover a large geographical spread but our operatives also clean several premises in each area. On a typical high street our operatives will often be cleaning the windows of five or more retailers. This means that our operatives do not waste most of their day driving from job to job and ARL is able to offer an extremely competitive rate to our retail clients.

In addition, smaller premises that require a one off or periodic window clean that will take less than a day benefit from reduced rates as we will always have an operative nearby that can carry out other work before or after their clean.

Static Operatives

For clients who require larger premises to be cleaned we can offer static window cleaning operatives who remain on site for days, weeks or even work on the site full time. They are totally dedicated to that site, and so are always on hand to respond to urgent requests and to act upon any changes in the window cleaning specification. If it is ever necessary our mobile operatives can be called upon to assist with large special cleans.

Whatever the access methods required our operatives will be fully trained and competent in their use and an ARL manager will be appointed to the job to oversee the work carried out and to liaise with our client.

Aerial Platforms

We have a full range of hydraulic aerial platforms available to us, ensuring we have the right equipment to meet your cleaning specifications. All ARL operatives are trained and certified with qualifications for the whole range of access platforms from specialist compact machines which will fit through a single doorway, to large hydraulic truck mounts extending up to 75 metres. Due to the nature of this type of access we are extremely flexible with work times, working through the night or at weekends in order to minimise disruption to our clients.

Where an aerial platform is required an ARL operative will visit your site to provide a free assessment and survey to ensure the most suitable and cost effective machine is used for each site. Due to the large volume of aerial platform work that we undertake we are offered preferable rates and discounts from our access hire companies which we are then able to pass onto our clients.

Reach & Wash System

The Reach & Wash system enables the operator to clean to a height of sixty feet without having to leave the ground. A water treatment system feeds pure water through carbon fibre poles to the area that needs to be cleaned. As this is all carried out from the ground there are few health and safety concerns. Where suitable it is undoubtedly the safest method available for cleaning windows at height. It is ideal where the area to be cleaned is surrounded by a soft surface, such as grass, that would make it unsuitable for aerial platforms to be used.

Our operatives bring up to 1,000 litres of pure water to the job site in the tank of a vehicle mounted mobile water treatment system. Our five-stage water filtration system ensures that we use the purest water available to achieve the highest possible standards. Using pure water (0 ppm) means that your windows dry spotless and as there is no detergent residue left behind the windows stay cleaner for longer.

Abseiling

Highly trained abseiling operatives can soon provide the solution to areas that are difficult to access, up to any height. This method is perfect for internal cleans where the Reach & Wash system would be impractical or for confined spaces out of doors where aerial platforms cannot reach. There is no need for a large flat area of ground beneath the work site and even if an aerial platform is an option abseiling is a less disruptive method. There is minimal disturbance to the building's occupants and to pedestrians and traffic.

It is a cost effective and most importantly a safe method of access. In the UK abseiling access has the best safety statistics across the whole of the access industry. Our operatives are fully IRATA (industrial rope access trade association) qualified and certified and have a wide range of experience in the filed.

Cradles

Our specialist high-rise cleaning teams are fully conversant with the use of cradles for external window cleaning and ensure the equipment is operated safely and efficiently at all times.

All ARL operatives that work on larger sites are experienced in the use of all types of electric cradle from manual to self-rigging models. An ARL manager will attend all sessions where training is given to operatives to gain the necessary site-specific accreditation required under Health and Safety laws.
