Hi Guys,

I need some advice, I viewed a commercial premesis today to tender for there office cleaning contract, as well as the office cleaning they will require there windows cleaning but due to a number of problems with access this isnt as straight forward as you might think.
The building is a 4 story office block which is set to be demolished within the next 4 years, this means they wont spend money fitting anchoring points or rails to comply with health and safey for absailing,etc. As on a couple of sides of the building there is about 4 meters between the neibouring building, a WFP system may not be ideal as the angle cleaning the top story could be insufficient. You guys are the experts so please prove me wrong  .
At the front of the building there is a single story area with a flat roof which isnt permited to work on top of, this and them not wanting there grassed areas ruined seems to rule out a cheery picker, not to mention the cost of hire!
Up to now they have used a company who has little regard for H and S so they have simply hung themselves out the windows
Any advice on methods that may get around the problems would be greatly recieved

Many thanks

difficult one without seeing it..do you have (or can get hold of) a digital camera ? If we could see a few pics of the problem, it might help to clarify a solution...just a thought....

i would clean the windows from the inside aswell

Would you require some type of anchoring point from the inside of the building to ensure H and S regs are not breached??
