City gets sparkling treatment

In Depth Managed Services has secured a window cleaning and industrial cleaning contract with Liverpool City Council to keep two key historic Liverpool buildings sparkling clean for the thousands of visitors they draw each year.

St George's Hall and the Town Hall are icons of the city, and need to look their best. The exterior of each building will take nearly a full day to complete, with three men working on St George's Hall and two on the Town Hall.

"We are really pleased that Liverpool City Council chose us to provide window cleaning services to the two sites," says Gary Johns, head of In Depth's window cleaning division.

"Both are fantastic buildings, and are well known, not just in Liverpool but worldwide.

"Over the coming years, In Depth will provide a number of services to the sites, from window cleaning to industrial jet washing, which will keep the buildings looking in a pristine condition for thousands of visitors." A water-fed pole system will be used to clean the Town Hall, while St George's Hall will require a powered access platform. Extra care will be taken over cleaning the windows, especially in the Town Hall, which has two stained-glass domes. Local employees will be used to clean both sites.
