Cleaning and Maintenance for Managing Agents and Facilities Managers

Palmer & Co works with managing agents and facilities managers across Scotland, providing commercial window cleaning, high-level cleaning, access-led maintenance and planned external building care. Much of our work is built around recurring contracts, managed buildings, wider property portfolios and sites where reliability, communication and planning matter.

We understand that cleaning and maintenance are often only one part of a wider property management responsibility. Our role is to make the work easier to manage, with clear planning, safe delivery and practical advice on the right access method for each building.

Support for Managed Commercial Properties

Managing agents and facilities managers often need a contractor who can support multiple sites, services and building needs without turning every task into a separate problem. Palmer & Co can help with commercial window cleaning, façade, render and cladding cleaning, gutter cleaning, building maintenance and other high-level works where suitable.

This can be especially useful for commercial offices, retail sites, hotels, industrial buildings and heritage properties where planned maintenance, tenant expectations and access requirements need to be managed together.

Choosing the Right Access Method for Each Site

Different buildings need different access methods. One site may suit reach and wash systems, while another may require rope access, cradle and BMU systems or platform access. Palmer & Co helps clients choose the right approach for the building, rather than relying on one fixed method.

That access-led approach is useful when a property has difficult elevations, restricted ground space, public-facing areas, high-level gutters, installed access systems or areas previous contractors have struggled to reach safely.

Planned Work, Clear Communication and Safer Delivery

For managing agents and facilities managers, the quality of planning often matters as much as the work itself. Cleaning and maintenance may need to be coordinated around tenants, building users, access permissions, public areas, working hours, out-of-hours requirements, road space, traffic controls and reporting requirements.

Palmer & Co plans work through site assessment, method statements, risk assessments, mobilisation meetings and clear communication with the client where required. This gives property teams a more dependable process for managing planned maintenance, recurring cleaning and access-led works across commercial buildings, supported by clear health and safety procedures where required.

Trusted by Commercial Clients Across Scotland

Client feedback helps show the trust placed in Palmer & Co by managing agents, facilities managers and commercial clients who need safe, reliable work carried out with minimal disruption.

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.
