Does the Outside of your Offices give the Right Impression?

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Before the Winter really sets in – have you thought about the appearance of your offices from the outside,  and even more importantly how your visitors will see them.  First impressions are very important and very strongly influence your expectations of what kind of service you may receive from the inside.

Therefore if your offices or building have the air of neglect, it does not give a positive impression.

There are a number of ways Shipshape Cleaning  can enhance the appearance of the exterior of your building.

We can offer the highest standards in window cleaning technology.  We operate the Reach and Wash System which is, Health and Safety approved.  We are specialists in high rise and difficult to access cleaning.

If you would like the stonework, surrounding paths, steps and other walkway areas professionally cleaned, we can provide this service too.  We can include signs and name plates if required.  Make your building look inviting.

If your offices are situated in grounds and you have to maintain gardens, parking and communal areas, especially at this time of year when leaves and debris can make the outside look very untidy, this is a service we can also provide.

If you have any special requests or require a one off service, we can assist you with these also.

Please visit our website at www.shipshapecleaning.co.uk to find out what other services we can offer your organisation. 

If we can assist you with the above services or you have any questions or queries regarding our company and the services we can provide,  please contact us  at sales@shipshapecleaning.co.uk or call us on 01494 468989.

Window Cleaning for a Clear Outlook

Monday, March 21st, 2011

If you have a good view out your office window, why obstruct it?

Window cleaning is a service that is often forgotten in a cleaning schedule and is an important part of keeping your office looking clean, especially this time of year when the sun is flooding in.

These day’s with environmental and industrial conditions being as complex as they are, windows are becoming dirtier, faster.

It is essential that windows are cleaned regularly, but most definately a good yearly clean.  The recommendation would be with most commercial properties is that a window cleaning scheule is put in place for a quarterly clean.  However, properties that are on main roads or in a high traffic or industrial area, a monthly clean would be the recommendation.

anyone can wash a window with soap and water and that will most definately get the job done, but on a professional level, it is more that just washing the glass, as window frames, ledges and surrounding areas will be cleaned in the process.

After it rains, minerals can attach to the glass, including limestone, brick dust or cement.  This can cause staining of the glass over a period of time if not cleaned off.  Spinkler systems near to a building can also make the glass stain if the glass is not cleaned regularly as this water will not be pure, but will contain calcium, salt or other minerals in the mains water supply.

Also, with the introduction of Reach & Wash purified water systems, that our window cleaner contractors use, the water is so pure that it absorbs the dirt, the brush is used to agitate the dirt and then is rinsed with oure water.  The glass is left perfectly clean, since there is nothing in the water to make spots on the glass.

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.
