We at SKS window cleaning are exceptionally proud to be amongst the first window cleaning contractors in the UK to achieve and hold the prestigious Safe Contractor accreditation certificate.

Safe contractor is a government approved scheme which is designed and set up to assure potential clients that it’s scheme members are adequately insured and that all relevant Health and Safety documentation is in order.

In order for us to achieve this high level of accreditation we must undergo a rigorous and thorough audit on our policies and procedures set out by the standards charter. We have to produce adequate insurance and demonstrate that our employment legislation is up to date and fair. We also have to supply references that are followed up and thoroughly checked.

Listed below are some of the topics that we are audited and assessed on annually:
