 Window Cleaning

Ladders

Indispensable for all work up to 9 meters inside and out. All Tectonics staff are fully trained in the safe positioning of ladders and safe working practices at height. We only use professional window cleaning ladders with 3 points of contact for total stability, i.e. extra wide feet and single point high friction rubber padded top.


Cherry Pickers


All the way to 43 meters/142 feet in fact. This means we can reach from the ground up to the 13th floor and still have 9 meters of outreach in any direction from the truck.


For smaller buildings still requiring cherry picker access, we can use a variety of smaller cherry pickers, some of which can be manoeuvred into very tight spaces to solve awkward access situations.


Our extensive experience with powered access platforms/cherry pickers means we always choose the right machine for the job, thereby saving our clients hundreds of pounds.


Abseiling


We have the UK’s highest buildings covered with International Rope Access Training Association (IRATA) qualified abseilers. All of our rope access is done using the best climbing equipment available and ropes are always double secured to certified anchor points or parts of the building with full structural integrity.


Pure Water Fed Poles


We use Pure water Fed Poles, also known as the “reach and wash” system to clean windows up to 16 meters whilst standing on the ground. This recent innovation in window cleaning allows us to pump purified water from the ground via a pole to the fine filament brush which washes windows and frames without leaving any residue or run marks. This is ideal for modern fully-sealed windows outside.

 

Project overview, Tate Modern London

In 2000 Tectonic Undertook the Builders Clean of all the vertical steel and gantry crane via rope access. The internal balcony window cleaning was accessed by aerial platform. The external was accessed by industrial abseiling, cradle and powered access.

Client Schal International

Fenwick's Department Store London 2000

Three hours to clean the front facade and windows, Tectonic commissioned two 35M Bronto Skylifts to undertake the works. Speed was of the essence due to minimise disruption to the store opening times and commuters.
