High-level cleaning
Anything above about three metres stops being cleaning and becomes a different trade: access equipment, trained operatives and a method statement written for that specific building. Regency cleans glass, cladding, ductwork and structural steel at height, inside and out — including the internal work most contractors turn down because they cannot get to it without flooding the floor below.
What the contract covers
- Internal and external glass at height, including atria
- Cladding, signage and building facade cleaning
- Ductwork, ceiling voids and structural steelwork
- Reach-and-wash, MEWP, scaffold tower and rope access methods
- IPAF and PASMA-trained operatives, RAMS for every visit
- Low-water indoor methods where flooding is not an option
- Out-of-hours scheduling around building occupancy
Who we do this for
- Corporate offices
- Industrial premises
- Public and listed buildings
- Retail and leisure
Common questions
- Can you clean internal windows at height without water everywhere?
- Yes. Indoor work at height rules out reach-and-wash volumes of water, so we specify a low-moisture method and access equipment suited to the floor loading. We have delivered exactly this in a live corporate office, working around the people below.
- Do you need scaffolding?
- Usually not. Most high-level work is done from MEWPs or towers, which are quicker to set up and far cheaper than scaffold. Scaffold is a last resort for long-duration work or where nothing else can reach.
- What paperwork comes with the job?
- A risk assessment and method statement for your site specifically, plus operator certification. Your own health and safety team will ask for all three before anyone lifts, and a contractor who has to go away and write them has told you something.
- How high can you actually reach?
- That is a question about access, not about ladders — the answer depends on the ground conditions, whether a machine can get to the position, and what is overhead. It is settled at survey.
- Do you clean solar panels?
- Yes. Soiling measurably reduces output, and panels sit at height by definition — so it is the same access problem as any other roof-level work.
- How disruptive is high-level work?
- Less than people expect if it is scheduled properly. Most of it happens out of hours or in zoned areas, and the noisy part is usually the access equipment rather than the cleaning.
