Question 6

Do you operate when the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

While a little rain won't stop us, more severe weather spells can force us to cease operations until it has cleared up. This sometimes can result in a small delay to some of our customers that have their services scheduled on a regular basis but we work hard to minimise this as much as possible. 
 
For the safety of our cleaners, it is not possible to service high office/apartment buildings during high winds. The risk of injury to our cleaners and the public, as well as damage to our equipment and the building is too high when winds are too fast.
