Volcanic Ash making your windows dirty?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

No-one has been able to escape the recent news regarding the Volcano that has erupted in Iceland, causing untold disruption.

If you are one of the lucky ones who haven’t been stranded overseas due to the Volcanic Ash, and are sitting in your office thinking that your windows are dirty, maybe from the ash particles that are in the air, well we can help.

Our window cleaners are specialists in high rise and difficult access cleaning. Experienced in abseiling, cradle work & hydraulic platform use for the cleaning of multi-storey buildings. We also operate the health & safety approved Reach & Wash system, allowing us to reach awkward locations from ground level without the use of a platform.

Office & Commercial Landscaping

Monday, March 29th, 2010

With all the spring flowers starting to bloom in gardens, hedgerows and flowerbeds across the country, when you look out of your office building window, does it look a bit sparce, drab or boring?

Well, we can help.

As well as ensuring the inside of your office or commercial building is spotless, we can also ensure the outside of your building is as spectacular.

The service we offer is landscaping for commercial and office buildings.  We would initially come and view the site and do a full site survey to assess the type of grounds and soil we are dealing with and draw up a plan of the area(s) to be landscaped.  We will price in the plants and/or bulbs to be planted either to your specification or our professional landscapers are happy to give suggestions to you for the type of plants, size of plants & shrubs, colour schemes etc. to fit your budget and location.

We offer a very comprehensive service and included in our price will be all our drawings and suggestions.

Is the Sun Shining on your Dirty Windows?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Spring is now here it seems and as a result the sun is flooding through those dirty windows…..

Not only does it show up all the dirt that has accummilated over the winter but also the cobwebs that may not have been dusted down by the cleaners.

We can help you with this problem in two ways:

As part of a cleaning contract we would look at your window cleaning and schedule in regular visits to do internal/external glass, we can do annual cleans of hard to reach areas with high access equipment and also ad-hoc cleans of fascias, soffits and guttering.

With on-site cleaning contracts, we supply our teams with extendable and long handled dusters to get to those hard to reach areas and banish those horrible cobwebs that linger in corners.  On our cleaning schedule as part of the contract documentation we ensure all areas of the office are dusted, even the hard to reach areas such as attriums, landings, stairwells so they don’t look dirty when the sun shines…..   

Don’t let your building let you down this spring….call us today.

Snow is disappearing…..but are you ready for next time?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

At Shipshape we can now offer a service through one of our trusted sub-contractors for gritting sites.

A lot of businesses were caught ill prepared for the amount of snow we have had over the last couple of weeks and before Christmas.

Some employees in businesses around High Wycombe, where we are based, could get into work using main roads reasonably easily as they were gritted by the council. The problem occured for most, struggling in the snowy industrial estates and work carparks.

We can offer two types of service, proactive and reactive gritting.

Being proactive, we can offer an automated gritting call-out service on a contract.  Under this type of service weather websites are checked and gritting takes place automatically should temperatures be below zero.

Our reactive service is on demand gritting.  This is subject to timings and costs and scope for gritting must be agreed prior to a call out.

Gritting takes place between 6pm and 6am the following day.  Salt will be applied to all areas specified in the quotation once during each call out.  Snow clearing is not normally included in the quotations but can also be arranged and quoted for as part of the contract.

You may well think that this is not a priority now we have (hopefully) seen the last of the heavy snow fall but to have this contract in place ready for when this occurs next time makes good sense for your business and the health & safety of your employees.

Email us or call our office for more information and to book a free site survey visit.

Shipshape Offering Even More Services to Clients

Monday, November 16th, 2009

At Shipshape we are very customer focused.

We strive to not just get the cleaning right for our clients but aim to be flexible, helpful and knowledgeable in all areas of facilities management.  In the current economic market we want to make organising your additional services as easy and cost effective as possible and just receiving one invoice.

We are delighted to announce a couple of new services we can now offer.

PAT Testing and Fixed Wiring Testing

PAT Testing has to be done at least annually to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.  This is to protect employees, pupils and the business. Failure to test appliances can result in heavy fines, increased insurance premiums and even business closure.

Fixed Wiring Testing this has to be conducted every 3 years in industrial premises and every 5 years in offices.  Again, to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.  We will ensure that all the fixed wiring in an electrical installation is safe to use. All installations are examined for compliance with the latest British Safety Standards to insure you are and can demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations.

With Shipshape, you can be certain to get an unbiased professional report providing peace of mind at an affordable rate.
