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.

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.

Autumn Site Cleaning - Inside & Out

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Are there areas of your premises that need attention this time of year?

As well as providing your office cleaning to a very high standard, we can also provide other services as part of your office cleaning contract.  Let us organise these services for you and draw up a schedule with you.  We will then invoice for all the works carried out by us on one invoice.  You will have one point of contact and be emailed when services are due with date and timings.

Some of the services relevant this time of year are:

Ground Maintenance

Now is the time of year to prune back those shrubs, tidy up the leaves and plant those spring bulbs.

Carpet Cleaning

Keep dirt and stains at bay by having a carpet cleaning schedule in place to spot clean and clean your carpets on a regular basis.  Important this time of year, with bad weather outside.

Windows, Fascias, Soffits and Gutter Cleaning

Keep your company windows always looking sparkling with a regular cleaning schedule.  We can also clean hard to reach fascias and soffits and guttering that has been blocked with leaves.  We can hire high access equipment and use our experienced and insured window cleaners to clean high points on your building.

Dust Control Mats 

Keep the outside out with dust control mats and ensure that your entrances are less dirty and carpets remain cleaners for longer.  These can be plain or made with your company logo on.

We are happy to incorporate these services into a site cleaning schedule.  Contact us today for a site review.

Full Client Facilities Management

Monday, October 12th, 2009

At Shipshape we can cater for all your cleaning needs, helping to improve your working environment.  As well as office cleaning, we can arrange cleaning in other areas, our range of services include:

Deep Cleans to areas that have heavy use or get dirty, including factory areas, mess rooms, warehouses, showers, washrooms etc.

Jet Washing external features such as bridges, walkways, patio areas and decking.  These areas can also become slippery this time of year, check out the anti-slip section of our website:

Window, Fascia & Sofits and Gutter Cleaning is a service that we can offer either as a one-off blitz clean of these areas or windows can be scheduled in on a regular basis, with the Fascias, Soffits and Guttering less often.

Floor Sealing improves the longevity of a hard floor surface and makes it easier to clean and the cleaning is more effective.  We can provide this service to new or old floors.  Where slip issues occur on a hard floor, we can seal with specialist ant-slip floor treatments which comply with HSE guidelines.  See link above.

PC Cleaning is a service we can provide to ensure keyboards and PC’s are cleaned and germ free.  It is good practice to have equipment regularly cleaned to prolong the life of it and for hygiene reasons.  This service can be carried out after hours for minimal disruption to the business. 

Carpet Cleaning can be done out of hours or at weekends, this can range from a full clean of carpets throughout the building or just particular carpets in high traffic areas. 

Blind Cleaning can make a huge difference to the ‘look’ of windows, especially this time of year when dust has built up on them over the summer with windows being open and now this time of year with spiderwebs.

It is a good idea to incorporate these services into the overall cleaning schedule so regular visits will keep all areas, not just the cleaners areas, in top condition.

At Shipshape, clients can have our cleaning services and can pick from the above ad-hoc or regular specialist cleaning services as and when they are needed. This is conveniently managed by us all under one roof, with one invoice going out to the client.

If that appeals to your business, contact us for a site review.
