Glass doors and partitions
Fingerprints and push-plate marks are the most visible soiling in any office, and the fastest to come back. Internal glass is part of the routine, not an extra.
Window cleaning
Glass is the first thing people notice
Internal glass shows every mark and is the surface most often skipped. External windows are the thing a visitor sees before they reach the door. Both belong on a written cycle rather than a reminder.
Internal glass
Part of the routine, not a separate visit
Internal glass, doors and handles are cleaned as part of the daily surfaces step, with doors and kick plates on the weekly cycle. It is the difference between glass that is periodically cleaned and glass that is consistently clean.
Meeting-room glazing
The rooms where clients sit are the rooms where smears show. Included in the daily and weekly cycle rather than left for a periodic visit.
Reception and entrance glass
The first surface a visitor sees, and the one that collects the most traffic marks.
External windows
On a cycle, written down
External cleaning is arranged as part of your contract and appears in the site plan alongside everything else, so it is one conversation and one schedule rather than a separate supplier to chase.
- An agreed cycle written into the site plan, so cleaning happens on a schedule rather than when someone notices.
- The access method agreed per building — reach and wash, ladder work where appropriate, or arranged access equipment.
- Work planned around your building's pattern, so it does not happen through a client meeting.
- Frames, sills and cills included where the specification calls for it, not just the glass.
- Anything requiring separate accreditation referred on rather than attempted.
Safety and access
Access is agreed before anything is booked
How a building's windows are reached determines what is possible, what it costs and how often it can happen. That gets established at survey — along with any access equipment, permissions or restrictions your building or landlord imposes.
Safety and security first is the first rule ofthe Acies Method for a reason. Where a building needs work that requires separate accreditation, Acies will say so and refer it on rather than stretch to cover it.
Get glass onto a written cycle
A survey establishes what your building needs internally and externally, how it can be reached, and what a realistic cycle looks like.
