Project Overview

At Smart Cleaning Services, we provide specialist commercial window cleaning services for buildings where access, safety and minimising disruption are essential.

One of our regular commercial clients is The Ivy in Spinningfields, Manchester, where we carry out professional external window cleaning every three months. Due to the building’s design, some windows are difficult to reach using conventional window cleaning methods, requiring specialist access equipment and careful planning.

Our team typically completes this work outside normal operating hours to minimise disruption to the restaurant, its staff and customers, while helping to maintain a safe working environment.

The Challenge: High-Level and Awkward-Access Windows

Commercial buildings in busy city-centre locations often present challenges when it comes to maintaining clean windows and glazing.

At The Ivy, Spinningfields, certain windows are positioned at height or in awkward locations that require a specialist approach. Achieving thorough cleaning results while managing access, protecting the surrounding area and reducing disruption is a key part of the project.

Our experience in commercial and high-level window cleaning allows us to select suitable equipment and working methods for each individual task.

Our Solution: Specialist Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)

To safely access the more challenging areas of the building, we use a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP).

This specialist access equipment allows our operatives to reach high-level glazing and awkward-access windows that would otherwise be difficult to clean effectively.

Using a MEWP enables us to position our operatives appropriately for the work, helping us achieve a thorough, consistent finish across the building’s external glass.

The equipment is particularly useful for reaching windows where conventional access methods are unsuitable. The choice of access equipment and working method is assessed according to the specific requirements of the job.

Out-of-Hours Working to Minimise Disruption

Working in a busy Manchester city-centre location requires careful consideration of the surrounding environment.

Where appropriate, we schedule our window cleaning outside normal operating hours. This helps minimise disruption to the restaurant’s daily operations, staff and customers.

Out-of-hours working also allows us to plan the job around site activity, access requirements and the need to maintain suitable exclusion zones around the work area.

By planning the work carefully, we can carry out specialist cleaning while respecting the needs of the client and the surrounding businesses.

Safety and Professional Planning

Health and safety are central to every commercial window cleaning project we undertake.

Before work begins, the relevant access arrangements, site conditions and working methods must be assessed. Our approach takes account of the risks associated with working at height, the operation of access equipment and the presence of other people around the work area.

Depending on the job requirements, this includes appropriate risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), suitable equipment checks, competent operatives and effective control measures.

We also consider the positioning of the MEWP, ground conditions, overhead obstructions, pedestrian access and the need to segregate the work area.

Our aim is to complete every visit professionally, with safety and the client’s operational requirements at the forefront of the job.

A Reliable Quarterly Commercial Window Cleaning Service

The Ivy, Spinningfields, is cleaned on a quarterly schedule, helping maintain the appearance of the building’s external glazing throughout the year.

Regular commercial window cleaning helps businesses present a professional image to customers and visitors, while preventing the gradual build-up of dirt and environmental deposits on glass.

Our planned maintenance approach provides a consistent service, with specialist access equipment used where required to reach difficult areas.
