Our regional management structure enables us to take a local approach to national contracts.

Our health and safety record is second to none thanks to our ongoing training, continual improvement and commitment to the highest of safety standards.

All, of course, while guaranteeing a spotless job. Aside from conventional window cleaning methods we also employ the very latest access techniques using in-house equipment and vehicles:-

• Rope access / abseiling
• Cradle Systems
• Truck mounted access platforms
• Water-fed poles system

Rope access

Rope access for window cleaning is one of the most cost effective ways to keep your building looking pristine all-year round. On top of that, industrial rope access boasts the best safety record in the UK access industry.

• Glazing can be cleaned without the need for expensive cradle equipment, reducing capital build costs and ongoing maintenance
• Access to windows that would be otherwise impossible
• Minimal disturbance to building occupants, pedestrians or vehicle traffic flow
• Better quality of cleaning by bringing the cleaner closer to the window

As with all NSS services, we constantly monitor and update our safety systems to make sure we keep to the latest HSE directives. You can count on a rope access team that’s individually and fully trained to IRATA  standards. We are a company that has achieved IRATA accreditation too.

Cradle

Whether suspended access cradles offer the best and safest approach to cleaning depends on all sorts of factors. These can include the height, scale and complexity of a building façade. Not to mention duration and extent of the work.

Many of the UK’s larger modern buildings now have cradle systems fitted as part of the building structure. That’s why in our specialist cleaning team, we have a number of people who are highly experienced and qualified in a variety of cradle systems. Our testing division even installs and maintains such systems.

Truck mounted access platforms

Our window cleaning experts are trained to operate all kinds of access platforms, from specialist compact machines small enough to fit through a single doorway, to large truck-mounted access platforms.

We’ve invested heavily to stay at the cutting edge of technology, owning some of the latest truck-mounted access platforms in the UK.

• Access platforms let us get set up and working within minutes of arriving onsite
• They allow us to access confined spaces with variable width jacking
• Our equipment gives us excellent working height and outreach capability

Water-fed pole

Using the latest water purification technology, our water-fed pole cleaning systems use reverse osmosis and demineralising resin to produce 100% pure water.

This means there’s no need to use cleaning detergents, making it ideal for achieving a spotless shine on all your windows. Not only saving money, but reducing environmental impact, with zero chemicals involved.

By far the safest and most cost-effective way to clean windows, it allows our teams to work from the safety of solid ground, typically for buildings up to five storeys high.

Water-fed poles also speed up the cleaning process and reduce the disturbance to people in and around a building, giving them a greater sense of privacy. Each vehicle in the fleet has a self-contained system, it’s the complete window cleaning solution.
