Window Cleaning

With effect from 1st September 2011, the Universities window cleaning service provision for all Buildings on Campus will lie within the Campus Services Department.

Following the Universities tendering process I am happy to announce that a cleaning company, namely Cinderella Ltd were successful in securing the contract. Cinderella Ltd was founded in 1993 and are the current holders of similar contracts with a variety of Universities, including some of those in the Russell Group.

The agreed window cleaning schedule allows each internal window to be cleaned a minimum of once a year. External windows be cleaned twice a year with certain entrances and doors cleaned on a monthly basis. There is an adhoc provision whereas an extra clean can be arranged in the event of high profile occasions such as Graduation and Open Days.

The cleaning methods available from Cinderella Ltd range greatly and are dictated by building/department use. The most commonly used will be reach and wash, the use of hydraulic platforms, abseiling and cradles along with traditional methods.

This schedule is subject to change and following feedback and suggestions from staff, can be tailored to each building/department or to suit the needs of the business.

If you do have any ideas or would like to discuss this window cleaning provision, please do not hesitate to contact Beatrice Taylor on Ext: 28915 or e-mail:  beatrice.taylor@sheffield.ac.uk
