Four halls of residence within a few streets of the Cutty Sark, cleaned inside and out between 2017 and 2020, are the core of SeeForth's Greenwich work: rope access from the roof on the taller block, reach and wash on the rest, cladding panels, carpets and a window sill on the way. This page shows the buildings and what each one needed.

The tallest of the four. External glazing cleaned by hand tools where the ground allowed and by rope access from the roof for the rest, twice a year from March 2018 to August 2020, six visits in all. A window sill outside one flat was repaired in December 2020 on the same call.

External glazing in May 2018 and August 2019, with the heavily soiled cladding panels cleaned by reach and wash with purified water in September 2018 and again in August 2019, leaving the panels free of water marks.
