The way the reach and wash works

This method of cleaning windows requires 100% purified water which will go through a filtration process called reverse osmosis. The purified water is then pumped through carbon fibre telescopic poles which will reach heights up to 90 ft (7-8 floors) The 100% purified water is excellent for cleaning windows because there is no detergent used which means no sticky residues are left, therefore windows do not soil as quickly and stay cleaner longer.

Case Studies

Fair Community Housing services approached us about cleaning the front windows on 21 blocks approximately 75ft high in Central London. There was little knowledge about how the windows were cleaned as it had being many years since they had being cleaned. Spectrum done a full site survey and found that Abseiling was not a feasible option as there was a slopping roof and a Cherry Picker (MEWP) would have being expensive and caused various problems operating on a very busy London road with trees blocking a lot of the access to the windows. Using the reach and wash would have being the best solution but using a normal reach and wash pole would have being difficult because of the height and the large ledge on the top floor. Spectrum proposed using our specialist lightweight poles that allowed us to clean the windows at this height with ease and do a good job without loosing efficiency in the bend of the pole. We offered to do a test section on one of the blocks so the client could view the results of using our reach and wash system at this height. The results were very good and we put through a full quotation for Fair Community Housing.

After our quote was accepted we put together a 2 week strategy in place to clean all windows on all 21 blocks. We prepared full risk and method statements and reserved the parking bays we needed ourselves and provided a daily update on which blocks have being cleaned, and any issues revolving around the clean.
