    Works Carried Out

    This building is cleaned via cradle window cleaning methods by our team of qualified cradle operatives. On average it takes our teams up to three weeks to complete a full external clean of the building.

    Issues faced on this particular project include factors such as, high footfall at ground level around the city centre retail outlets, this is managed by placing exclusion zones below the working areas. Another factor which needs to be considered are adverse weather conditions.
