What Is Abseiling Window Cleaning?
Abseiling window cleaning, also known as rope access cleaning, uses trained technicians who descend the exterior of a building using specialist rope access equipment.
It is one of the most versatile commercial window cleaning services available. Unlike cherry pickers or cradle systems, rope access requires no heavy machinery and no complex rigging.
The setup is fast, the disruption is minimal, and our abseil window cleaners can reach every part of your building’s exterior.
All our rope access technicians hold current IRATA certification, the internationally recognised standard for safe working at height.
