What is Rope Access Cleaning?
Window cleaning by abseiling, or otherwise known as rope access is a method of cleaning windows. Rope access cleaning is used to reach the highest windows on a building. This involves the use of rope and other specialist equipment not used in other methods of window cleaning.
Rope access techniques were developed from climbing and caving. The practice enables the ability to descend, ascend, and change from one rope to another, therefore enabling access to clean windows that would have otherwise been left dirty.
Who can conduct Rope Access Cleaning?
Rope access cleaning is a simple method requiring a small amount of set up, a minimal amount of equipment, but a very-high level of safety process. Only fully qualified and insured window cleaners, who also have a head for heights, can conduct this niche method of cleaning. Rope access window cleaning has its standards set by IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) which operates a formal training and certification scheme. This ensures that anyone performing the window cleaning services can do so safely. Technicians securely anchor themselves to the roof of the building before abseiling down the side and cleaning each window as they pass. The cleaner is secured by harness and rope allowing them to move freely across the side of the building as needed.
