Stratford High Street, E15

Student tower, annual summer clean since 2018

A student accommodation tower on Stratford High Street has had its external glazing cleaned by rope access from the roof most years since 2018: November 2018, May 2020, July 2021, April 2022 and August 2023. Every window, frame and ledge on every elevation, planned around the summer changeover so the glass was clean for the new intake. In August 2020 the same site needed an urgent deep clean of studio rooms, twenty or more flats cleaned and sanitised to a written specification, and in 2023 the communal areas were cleaned inside on the same programme.

New Road, Whitechapel, E1

Hotel, external and internal windows on a round

A hotel on New Road had its windows cleaned outside by reach and wash and inside by hand on nine visits between April 2018 and March 2019, about every six weeks, each one booked with the hotel.

Vallance Road, E1, and Wrexham Road, E3

Flats, including an urgent job in Bow

A flat on Vallance Road cleaned by reach and wash in August 2018, and an external clean of a house on Wrexham Road in Bow the same month, done as an urgent job.

Royal Docks, E16, and Chingford, E4

The edges of the patch

Work at a commercial building on Dock Road in the Royal Docks in 2020, and a small reach and wash round for houses in Chingford in 2018. For the Isle of Dogs see our Canary Wharf page.

What we do in East London

High rise window cleaning

Rope access from tested anchors on the roof, as on the Stratford tower, or a MEWP where the ground allows. See high rise window cleaning.

Reach and wash

Purified water through a soft brush from the ground, up to about five storeys, for hotels, flats and shops. See mid rise window cleaning.

Gutters and rainwater goods

Cleared by rope access, MEWP or high-reach vacuum, with photographs of what came out. See rainwater clearance.

Cladding and render cleaning

Purified water on panels and soft washing on render, with a report on anything that does not respond. See cladding and render cleaning.

Eyebolt testing

The anchors the rope access team uses on a tower are inspected, tested and certificated first. See eyebolt testing.

Fire risk assessments

Student towers, hotels, blocks of flats and HMOs assessed by IFSM registered Level 6 assessors, report within 48 hours. See fire risk assessments.

How we work in East London

  • Towers in the summer. Student buildings are cleaned in the changeover, elevation by elevation from the roof down, with the site team told which drops are running each day.
  • Hotels around the guests. Outside by reach and wash from the pavement, inside by hand after check-out, on a round the hotel can rely on.
  • Urgent jobs are possible. The Bow house and the Stratford deep clean were both booked as urgent jobs, and the crew is based twenty minutes away.
  • Anchors before ropes. On a tower we ask for the eyebolt certificates and test the anchors if they are out of date before anyone goes over the edge.
  • Reports after every visit. Photographs of every elevation and a note of anything that needs a different treatment.

  3. Fixed quote, with the access method, the dates and what the site needs from you.
  4. The work, with RAMS in advance and a report at the end.

Common questions

Can you clean a student tower in Stratford without scaffold?

Yes. The tower on Stratford High Street has been cleaned by rope access from tested anchors on the roof most years since 2018. No scaffold, no cradle, and the site team told each day which elevations the drops are on.

Do you clean hotel windows around the guests?

Yes. The hotel on New Road had nine visits in a year, outside by reach and wash from the pavement and inside by hand, each one booked with the hotel.

How quickly can you come out in East London?

The crew is based in Shoreditch, twenty minutes away. A clean in Bow and the Stratford deep clean of twenty or more studio rooms were both taken on as urgent jobs, the deep clean in August 2020.

Do you do deep cleans as well as windows?

Yes, where a client we already work for needs it. The Stratford tower had its studio rooms deep cleaned and sanitised to a written specification, and its communal areas cleaned inside in 2023.

What happens before a rope access job?

We ask for the eyebolt certificates for the roof anchors. If they are out of date we test and certificate them first. RAMS for the building go to the site team before the visit.

Do you carry out fire risk assessments in East London?

Yes. Student towers, hotels, blocks of flats and HMOs are assessed by our IFSM registered Level 6 assessors, with the written report within 48 hours of the visit.
