I have been in the business of window cleaning for over 30 years and we have worked on various
Commercial Window Cleaning in London contracts for different types of premises including: high rise office blocks; factories;warehouses; supermarkets; hotels; universities; historic buildings; schools; hospitals and residential units.
During that time I have, as you would expect, learnt a huge amount about the
Commercial Window Cleaning trade. I have come across some extremely professional people but some rogues as well.
I have worked closely with a wide range of people who have had responsibility for managing window cleaningon their sites. Some have been more experienced and knowledgeable than others, but they have all shared broadly the same objectives:
keeping windows clean
keeping personal input to a minimum
keeping costs down
preserving the safety of their people and protecting their property
If, like me, you expect a good job for a fair price, then this article will help you to achieve those objectives.
What should you expect?
Much will depend of course on the nature of your building and the constraints youre under financially. The usage of the building can also play a large part in the extent to which you need your contractor to perform.
Pricing
You should, of course, expect to pay a reasonable price for the window cleaning carried out. It is worth seeing if prices are fixed for any length of time. Some of the best companies will fix prices for three years to give you stability.
Insurance, Health & Safety
Do they have a published Health & Safety policy? What evidence is there that the policy is adhered to? What action do they take when there are problems? What is their accident record? Do they have adequate public and employers liability insurance cover?
I hope this article proves useful to you, and thanks for reading!
