High-Level Cleaning and Maintenance Services

At the centre of Palmer & Co is commercial window cleaning, supported by a wider range of high-level cleaning and maintenance services. Established in 1932, the business brings more than 90 years of experience to planned cleaning and maintenance for commercial buildings.

We help managing agents, facilities managers and building owners maintain long-term asset value by keeping commercial properties clean, presentable and properly maintained, whether the work involves a planned contract, a difficult-to-reach elevation or a one-off issue that needs safe access.

Commercial Cleaning and Maintenance Services

Our services can be planned individually or combined as part of a wider cleaning and maintenance programme for commercial buildings.

Bird Control & Prevention

Access-Led Planning for Complex Buildings

Many of the buildings we work on need more than a standard cleaning approach. Height, building shape, public areas, restricted access, installed systems and occupied spaces can all affect how the work should be planned.

Palmer & Co uses a range of access and methods, including rope access, cradle and BMU systems, reach and wash systems and platform access. The method is chosen around the building and the task, with safety, disruption and practicality considered from the start.

Access Methods for High-Level Work

Different buildings need different access routes. Palmer & Co helps clients choose the method that best fits the site, task and safety requirements.

Rope Access

Specialist rope access for difficult elevations, façades, gutters and high-level areas where other methods may not be practical.

Cradle & BMU Systems

Use of building maintenance units and cradle systems for commercial window cleaning, façade work and high-level maintenance.

Reach & Wash Systems

Reach and wash systems for suitable commercial buildings where safe, efficient ground-level cleaning is possible.

Platform Access

Powered access for high-level cleaning and maintenance where platforms provide the safest practical route to the work area.

Was on the market for a water fed pole for my new softwash set up, the boys there sorted it out and had everything in stock. Also got a chemical injector nozzle and a free brush head when purchasing the pole. All the stuff is on display so you can actually get hands-on to what you are wanting to buy.

I visited the store for a telescopic pole and water backpack. I've got no firm knowledge of the window cleaning trade, but the team at Palmer assisted me tremendously, providing the necessary fitments and assembly of the product. Great service. Great business. Great people. Thank you.

Story time On one dreichet day in the capital, my flatmate and I sat, staring out of the window waiting for inspiration to strike, when around the corner pulled up a fleet of Palmer and Co vans and a truck. We were stunned. The workforce stepped out, gleaming in the January drizzle and set to work cleaning the windows of the opposing building to us. We were in awe as three daring souls stepped into the capsule and were sent heavenward to the windows in the sky. Bravery. We realised we only had one chance to get this right as we entered onto the Spotify app. S Club 7 began to ring in all its glory, giving them the confidence to ‘Reach for Stars’... and the windows, they certainly sparkled like constellations on that day. Peace out.

Having audited this company at length, we have found them to be professional, diligent and they have the ability to demonstrate key attention to detail. 3Spires observed Palmer & Co.'s workforce perform their day to day functions window cleaning at height and it became apparent that not only do the management possess positive culture but it transcends through the work force too. We would recommend them to all.
