Cherry Picker Window Cleaning for Commercial Buildings
When ladders and water-fed poles cannot reach, our cherry picker window cleaning service steps in. We use Mobile Elevating Work Platforms to access and clean windows at heights up to 100 metres, delivering a spotless, streak-free result with minimal disruption to your building and your team.
What Is Cherry Picker Window Cleaning?
A cherry picker is a type of Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) with a basket on the end of an extendable arm. In window cleaning, MEWPs allow our operatives to work safely at height, secured in the basket and harnessed to the anchor point of the platform. The reach and flexibility of a cherry picker makes it possible to clean windows at angles and heights that no ladder or static scaffold can match.
We use both ground-mounted and truck-mounted platforms depending on your site, giving us the ability to work on buildings at heights typically between 15 and 100 metres. Combined with our purified water-fed pole system, the result is a spotless, smear-free finish every time.
High-Rise Window Cleaning
Any building where windows sit above 15 to 20 metres is beyond the reach of standard water-fed poles. Our MEWPs reach heights up to 100 metres, making them the efficient, safe alternative to scaffolding on most commercial buildings.
Internal and External Cleaning
We clean both sides of every window to a streak-free finish using purified water. Our team handles all access safely, with minimum disruption to your daily operations and no harsh chemicals.
Post-Construction Cleans
After a new build or refurbishment, windows often require scraping and heavy cleaning with specialist tools. Our operatives use scrapers and high-water volumes safely from the platform to deliver a truly clean result.
Flexible Scheduling
We offer early morning, late evening, and weekend slots to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. Our team arrives with everything needed, completes the job efficiently, and clears the site so your building returns to normal quickly.
Purified Water System
We use a purified water-fed pole system from the platform, removing all minerals for a spotless, smear-free finish that stays cleaner for longer. No harsh chemicals, no residue, and no risk to your building's glazing or frames.
Regular Contracts and One-Off Cleans
Whether you need a single clean ahead of a building inspection or an ongoing maintenance contract, we provide transparent quotes with no hidden costs. Regular clients get priority scheduling and the best rates.
When Do You Need a Cherry Picker?
Cherry pickers are the right choice when other access methods cannot do the job safely and effectively. Here are the most common situations where we recommend this service.
High-Rise or Tall Buildings
Any building where windows sit above 15 to 20 metres is beyond the reach of standard water-fed poles. A MEWP is the efficient, safe alternative to scaffolding, with no need for temporary structures or prolonged site preparation.
Complex or Irregular Architecture
Buildings with angled facades, recessed windows, canopies, or unusual shapes require the manoeuvrability and precision that only an adjustable MEWP basket can provide. We can position the arm at the angle needed to clean every pane properly.
Post-Construction Cleans
After a new build or major refurbishment, windows need scraping and heavy cleaning. Our operatives can use specialist tools safely from the platform, tackling cement, adhesive, and construction residue that standard cleaning cannot shift.
Large Glass Facades or Curtain Walls
Office buildings with floor-to-ceiling glazing need a stable, wide-reaching platform to clean efficiently. Cherry pickers cover large areas of glass quickly without compromising on quality or leaving sections unreachable.
No Rope or Cradle Access Points
Some buildings were not designed with abseiling anchors or cradle tracks. A ground-based MEWP removes the need for any overhead rigging and works independently of the building structure, making it suitable for a much wider range of properties.
Bundled Maintenance Visits
Bringing in a cherry picker is an investment. We help you make the most of every visit by combining window cleaning with gutter clearing, cladding cleaning, or facade maintenance in a single session, reducing your total annual maintenance spend.
How Our Cherry Picker Window Cleaning Service Works
From your initial enquiry through to the post-clean sign-off, we keep things simple, safe, and transparent at every stage.
Free Site Survey and Risk Assessment
We visit your site, assess building height and access conditions, identify any hazards, and confirm the right MEWP for the job. There is no cost and no obligation.
Planning and Scheduling
We agree a date and time that suits you, including out-of-hours options if your building is busy during the day. We handle any necessary permissions or traffic management planning.
MEWP Set-Up and Safety Checks
Our IPAF-certified operatives arrive, position the platform safely, and carry out pre-use safety checks before any work begins. The surrounding area is cordoned off as required.
Clean and Sign-Off
We clean your windows using purified water from the platform for a streak-free finish. Once complete, we carry out a quality inspection and sign off the job with you before we leave.
The Cherry Picker Window Cleaning Company Businesses Trust
Cherry picker window cleaning requires specialist equipment, trained operatives, and careful site planning. Here is why facilities managers and property owners across the UK trust LBC Exterior Cleaning with their buildings.
IPAF Certified Operatives
Every operative who works on a cherry picker or MEWP holds full IPAF certification and is trained in all relevant health and safety procedures. We do not put anyone in a basket who is not fully qualified to be there.
Reach Up to 100 Metres
Our fleet of MEWPs includes scissor lifts, self-propelled booms, and lorry-mounted platforms. We can reach windows on virtually any commercial building across the UK, including high-rise structures where other methods fall short.
Streak-Free, Eco-Friendly Results
We use a purified water-fed pole system from the platform. No harsh chemicals, no mineral residue, just spotless glass that stays cleaner for longer. Our process is eco-friendly and safe for your team and your building.
Minimum Disruption to Your Business
We schedule cleans around your operations, including evenings and weekends. Our team works efficiently to clear the site quickly so your building and the surrounding area return to normal as soon as possible.
Cost-Effective Bundled Visits
While the platform is on site, it makes sense to combine your window clean with gutter clearing, cladding cleaning, or facade work in a single visit. You share the access cost across multiple tasks and reduce your overall spend for the year.
Fully Insured and HSE Compliant
LBC Exterior Cleaning holds full public liability insurance. All operatives work in line with HSE Working at Height Regulations. Method statements and risk assessments are available on request, which is often required by facilities managers and managing agents.
Safety, Certification and Accreditation
Our operatives hold full IPAF certification for the operation of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms. Every job is planned in line with the HSE Working at Height Regulations, and we carry comprehensive public liability insurance for all access work.
