Working at Height Cleaning Services
Safe, Skilled & Specialist Cleaning Where Others Can’t Reach
Cleaning at height requires far more than just the right tools—it demands specialist training, strict safety protocols, and the ability to work efficiently in challenging environments. Whether it’s external windows, cladding, signage, or roofs, SVM Cleaning delivers professional, fully compliant working-at-height cleaning services for commercial buildings of all sizes.
Our trained team uses a range of techniques including mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), rope access (abseiling), and reach-and-wash pole systems to ensure your high-level surfaces are cleaned safely, thoroughly, and with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is working at height safe? Yes—with SVM Cleaning, all operatives are fully trained, equipped, and risk-assessed before every job. We follow strict health and safety procedures and provide all necessary documentation.
What access methods do you use? Depending on the site, we may use:
- MEWPs (mobile platforms like boom lifts)
- Rope access (abseiling)
- Scaffold towers or cherry pickers
- Telescopic poles (up to 80ft) for water-fed systems
Can you clean glass and cladding at the same time? Absolutely. We often combine window cleaning and façade cleaning into a single visit for efficiency and cost savings.
Do you clean in all weather conditions? We can work in light rain, but high winds or extreme conditions may require rescheduling to ensure safety.
Do I need to close my building during the clean? Not usually. We work outside of peak hours or in sections to keep disruption to a minimum. Safety signage and barriers are always used.
