Rope Access / Abseil Cleaning

When you need rope access or abseil window cleaning you need a team whose health and safety record is second to none. With our expertise in high level cleaning and our fully trained IRATA operatives, you can be sure that every job is undertaken to the highest safety and cleaning standards.

What is rope access and abseil cleaning?

Rope access window cleaning is one of the most cost-effective and easiest ways to keep your building looking spotless all year round. 

Unlike cradle cleaning and scaffolding, abseiling simply requires a fully trained operative with the appropriate ropes and harnesses.

What are the benefits of using abseil cleaning?

There are a number of benefits:

• Costs are kept to a minimum – there’s no need for cradle equipment or scaffolding and ongoing maintenance and call-outs are easier to arrange
• It’s possible to access windows in hard-to-reach areas that would be impossible to clean using other methods
• There’s minimal disturbance to building occupants, pedestrians or traffic
• The cleaner is closer to the window, ensuring a pristine finish every time

With NSS you have the benefit of our extensive experience cleaning at high levels, and our stringent attention to detail when it comes to safety. All of our operatives are fully trained to IRATA standards for rope access work and we’re accredited as a business too.

How do abseilers clean windows?

Our highly skilled abseilers’ are able to clean windows exceptionally well whilst suspended at significant heights.

Our abseil team use a rope, harness and pulley system to lower themselves over the side of the building, from there they’ll use the brake and pulley systems to slowly descend and manoeuvre themselves into position.

How often should you get your windows cleaned?

How often you windows require cleaning will depend on a couple of factors, such as:

• Building location – you’ll find that buildings located in a busy city centre location will require more frequent cleaning
• Season – during the spring and summer months you may find that dirt and grime is more noticeable, thus require cleaning more frequently
