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.
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.
