When Arthur Eric Thomas first took to the streets off Stockport shortly after WW II when work was scarce , little did he know that his name would be around for such a long time.
Our company was founded by Arthur's hard working principles.
The history of window cleaners in the UK began with the initial creation of windows after 2000 BC. During this time the Egyptians perfected their glass-making art and as a result the need for ways to clean this glass originated.
Initially, all that could be done, was the use of water and rags to wash the windows. However as time progressed some people in Greece discovered that a tool used for rubbing down horses in stables could be used for window cleaning. Thus the horse sweat squeegee was born, with its long handle and absorbent material.
Throughout the 20th century there was a much more rapid development in window cleaning tools. This came down to many advances in chemicals and different manufacturing processes. In 1936 the single blade squeegee was invented which helped to prevent the problem of streaks and spots on the window after it had been cleaned.
We now provide a full service our commercial window cleaning services with focus on safety related issues as well as cost and methodology.
As quality office window cleaners, our workers come well trained and fully insured against the many hazards of working at extreme heights.
