Key takeaways
- Make sure the company is officially registered and its CR can be verified.
- Ask for the safety plan and the right access method for your building height.
- Get a written quotation covering scope, materials and duration.
- Agree in advance how the work will be reviewed and handed over.
A building’s facade is an investment everyone sees, and cleaning it — especially at height — takes experience, equipment and serious attention to safety. Before you sign with any company, run through these eight checks.
1. Official registration
Choose a company with a valid Commercial Registration you can verify, that issues official invoices. It protects you in any dispute and ensures you deal with an accountable business.
2. A safety plan
Work at height requires:
- A team trained for work at height.
- Personal protective equipment, harnesses, ropes and proper anchor points.
- A secured zone below the building during work.
Ask directly: how will you protect workers, passers-by and vehicles?
3. The right access method for your building
Each building suits a method: rope access for towers and complex facades, lifts for mid-rise buildings, platforms and extension poles for low sections. A professional company explains its choice.
4. Cleaners suited to your facade
Glass, stone and cladding are not cleaned the same way. Ask which products will be used on each material and make sure they will not scratch or discolour it.
5. A clear written quotation
| The quote should include | Why |
|---|---|
| Scope (floors and elevations) | So nothing is excluded later |
| Access method | It affects timing and safety |
| Products used | To make sure they suit the material |
| Duration and schedule | To plan building operations |
| Price, payment terms and invoice | Clarity and fewer disputes |
6. Punctuality and minimal disruption
In occupied buildings and commercial sites, agree on working hours and how entrances will be secured so operations continue normally.
7. Reputation and past work
Check the company’s Google Maps reviews, ask for examples of similar work, and notice how quickly and clearly they communicate.
8. Review and handover
Agree in advance that the facade will be reviewed after the work and any remarks fixed before final handover, and ask about recurring contracts.
Summary

FAQ
How do I check that a cleaning company is registered?
Ask for the Commercial Registration number and verify it through the Ministry of Commerce services, and check that the company name matches the invoice and quotation.
Is the cheapest quote the best choice?
Not always. A very low price can mean missing safety equipment or cleaners unsuitable for the material. Compare scope, materials and method, not just price.
Should I ask for a site visit before signing?
For large buildings and towers, yes — a visit pins down access, anchor points and timing. For villas and small buildings, photos are often enough.
