Frequently Asked Questions
Can cleaning be done during a shutdown?
Yes. Give providers the shutdown dates early so they can plan staff and equipment.
Who supplies the lift or platform?
It varies. Some providers bring or hire it and add the cost. Others use equipment already on site. Ask in the quote.
What if the glass has oil or chemical residue?
Mention it in your enquiry. The provider may need to see it or test a small area before confirming the method.
Are roof lights included?
Only if listed. Roof work needs specific fall protection, so it is usually quoted separately.
What does a provider need before starting on site?
Usually a site induction, permits to work, the right PPE, a method statement and proof of insurance.
