When you hire contractors to work on your commercial property in York, you're not just looking for clean windows. You need assurance that your contractor meets health and safety legal requirements, carries adequate insurance, and provides proper documentation. Compliance isn't optional — it's essential.

Facilities managers at care homes, hotels, schools, and offices across York choose SafeContractor approved window cleaners because it provides documented proof of compliance — essential for insurance claims and corporate governance.
SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is an umbrella organisation that recognises health and safety assessment schemes. Our SSIP approval means:
We provide professional window cleaning services for every type of commercial building in York. Our 27+ years of experience means we understand the unique requirements of each sector.
York's office buildings — from modern business parks to historic city centre premises — require professional cleaning that works around your business hours.
Care homes in York face strict regulatory requirements. Window cleaning must be conducted safely, without disturbing residents, and by properly accredited contractors.
First impressions matter in York's competitive hospitality sector. Hotels and guest houses need pristine windows that enhance kerb appeal and guest experience.
Educational facilities require window cleaners who understand safeguarding requirements and work around the school calendar without disrupting lessons.
York's two universities generate significant demand. Whether you manage halls of residence or private student housing, we deliver consistent, compliant results.
Shop fronts, retail parks, and shopping centres need sparkling windows to attract customers and showcase products in York's competitive retail environment.
We use the right method for every job — modern water-fed pole technology for safe, ladder-free external cleaning, and traditional techniques for internal windows and specialist requirements.
We invest in professional-grade water-fed pole systems for most commercial window cleaning work, safely reaching up to 65 feet — no ladders required for the majority of commercial buildings.
For buildings exceeding 65 feet, we use appropriate access equipment (cherry pickers, boom lifts) operated by trained, certified staff.
As traditionally trained window cleaners with 27 years of experience, we're proficient in all methods. For internal windows, specialist glass, or situations where traditional methods are preferred, we provide:
We don't just turn up and clean windows. Every job follows a structured process ensuring safety, quality, and full compliance with your requirements.
Before we provide a quote or conduct any work, we visit your York premises to assess the building, identify hazards (overhead cables, fragile surfaces, restricted access), understand your compliance needs, and discuss DBS requirements or specific procedures. We then produce a written, site-specific risk assessment — not a generic template.
We provide a method statement detailing exactly how we'll conduct window cleaning at your premises — access methods, equipment to be used, safety measures, environmental considerations, and emergency procedures. Your facilities manager receives RAMS documentation before work commences, satisfying your health and safety file requirements.
We provide current certificates of insurance before commencing work: £5M public liability (covering property damage and third-party injury) and £10M employers' liability (protecting our staff). These are actual certificate copies for your records — not verbal assurances — verified annually by SafeContractor.
On your agreed schedule (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or as required), we attend your York premises and conduct professional window cleaning using water-fed pole systems for external work and traditional methods for internal. Minimal disruption, professional uniformed operatives, completed to agreed timescales without compromising quality.
After completing window cleaning, we conduct quality checks, update compliance records, and provide service documentation for your health and safety files. Contract customers receive detailed service records — making it straightforward to demonstrate compliance during audits or inspections.
When SafeContractor approved our business, they independently verified:
