MEWP Access Cleaning Services

Safe, controlled high-level cleaning using mobile elevated work platforms, designed for commercial buildings where access, compliance and operational safety matter.

High-Level Cleaning Requires Controlled Access and Planning

Many commercial cleaning tasks are located at height, where incorrect access methods introduce unnecessary risk. Façades, cladding, rooflines and structural features often cannot be reached safely using ladders or basic equipment without compromising safety or efficiency.

MEWP access cleaning provides a controlled, stable working platform that allows operatives to carry out high-level cleaning tasks safely while maintaining precision and consistency. For facilities managers, this approach reduces risk exposure and ensures work is carried out in line with health and safety obligations.

Why MEWP Access Is Often the Safest Solution

Selecting the correct access method is critical on commercial sites. MEWP access is frequently chosen where:

  • Work areas are wide, linear or repetitive
  • Surfaces require controlled cleaning rather than reach-only access
  • Ground conditions allow safe platform positioning
  • Ongoing site activity requires stable, predictable working zones

Compared to improvised access or unsuitable methods, MEWPs allow cleaning to be completed efficiently while maintaining safe working distances and consistent results.

Where MEWP access is not suitable due to building geometry or restricted ground space, works may instead be delivered using rope access cleaning following assessment.

Services Commonly Delivered Using MEWP Access

MEWP access cleaning supports a wide range of commercial exterior services, including:

By combining access capability with surface-specific expertise, MEWP cleaning delivers safer outcomes without compromising cleaning quality.

Our Risk-Managed MEWP Cleaning Process

Every MEWP access project begins with a site assessment to evaluate building height, surface type, ground conditions and operational constraints. The appropriate MEWP type is selected to ensure reach, stability and safe positioning.

Works are planned to minimise disruption, with controlled working zones established where required. Cleaning methods are matched to the surface being treated, ensuring effective results without damage to coatings, materials or fixings.

This approach allows high-level cleaning to be carried out efficiently while maintaining compliance and site safety.
