I don't have sound on my PC but something doesn't seem to stack up with this lot.
Firstly they push H & S a bit then show a video of someone unnecessarily climbing a ladder to pretend to clean windows.
Then there's a bit from their website that says "We have full Insurance cover and insisit that all individual team members also have their own insurance cover for added client protection".  So they are all self-employed/pretend employees is the way I read that bit.

I thought the going up the ladder to obviously not clean the window the best bit  ;)

This has to be a joke.they go on about health and safety then use a ladder instead of waterfed pole dont clean the window and dont have anyone footing ladder at bottom how safe is that. they also state they have over 200 employees if they were that big a company why use cars instead of vans.Got to be a p take

"With the aid of highly advanced satellite imaging software we are able to view any property at almost ground level, from every angle possible all from the comfort of our office"

IE Google ha ha ha.

What a bunch of jokers.  Can't deny the vehicle wraps look good though.

they seem to basically hose the windows down with a garden hose, fed from a backpack of what I can only assume is purified water. It wouldn't sell to me, but from there list of areas they seem to do ok. I have seen there website before though, there was posts a while ago about there satellite quoting.

They come across a bit naive if they think the can quote jobs using google earth, and come out and literately hose down the windows for the customer.

whooo weee

I bet they get a few cracking comments from customers, "honey that's the gardeners at the window!"

i am quite a clever chappy......sometimes :o....but that video has made me feel all stupid. ( climb the ladder with all that gear and pretend you have cleaned the window, and at such a crazy height too)..its even driven me to drink as i am now sitting in the park bench with whats left of my laptop battery and the last few dregs of this bottle.......once i find a power source in the morning i will look in to see if anyone has sussed it out..... ???

HHUUMMMM
Several health and safety rules broken on that video.
Not much of a uniform lol Hi viz and work trousers.
they window video looked like they have only treated the right window with an additive you can buy for WFP that helps the water sheet and not bead.
Reaching parts traditional window cleaners can not reach.

Or maybe.....very clever marketing?....weird/dumb videos yes....odd H&S on the vids.....stupid choice of music... but hasnt it go us all talking? and for every comment made on sites and forums such as this one whether good or bad.....the website they have gets stronger and stronger on Google search rankings.
Did you know that this company works all over the city of London doing some pretty high profile jobs? I see their vans regularly on my london round and have even lost some clients to them! and they are working with WFPs not ladders like the video shows, infact I am sure they have just completed the marsh Wall in Canary wharf (48 floors!) as when it was being done they had two vans (not cars) on site. Those vans must of cost a bomb to wrap as well, would be interesting to find out who is backing the company and throwing so much dosh at it :P
