High-Level Cleaning
A nationwide supplier of specialist commercial high-level cleaning services
High-level cleaning – not your cup of tea, but our bread and butter.
The Gold Standard for
High-Level Cleaning
High-level cleaning is an important – yet commonly overlooked cleaning process, relevant both internally and externally to a number of commercial and public buildings, including schools, leisure facilities, and warehouses. Though the higher levels and surfaces of these buildings are often thought of as ‘out of sight’ and ‘out of mind’, without maintenance, they are often subject to significant build-ups of dust and dirt, posing health threats to building users, and causing serious safety issues.
Ingot Service’s cost-effective high-level commercial cleaning services are performed by highly trained, MEWP qualified operatives, using specialised equipment such as scissor lifts and booms, allowing for effective deep cleaning at a height, and within large spaces. High-level cleaning works to ensure large buildings and hard-to-reach areas are brought into line with a variety of health and safety and environmental health regulations.
Fully Tailored Service
As long-established industry experts, the Ingot Services team understand that scheduling high-level cleaning around building use can prove challenging for all sectors. That’s why we’ve worked to develop a highly flexible high-level cleaning format, available on both a one-off, and regular service, and on a 24-hour basis, causing minimal disruption.
Regular High-Level Cleaning
Our regular high-level cleaning service is highly suited to spaces or systems subject to frequent use. This service ensures all elevated surfaces are thoroughly cleared of all dust and dirt build-ups, helping ensure the maintenance of a safe, hygienic environment.
Ingot Services’ qualified experts are happy to assist in establishing a suitable high-level cleaning frequency for your building or business via consultation call.
One-Off High-Level Cleaning
Whilst regular high-level cleaning offers a convenient way to stay on top of both cleaning and regulation, one-off cleans can be arranged at any time, and may be especially appropriate for buildings re-opening after periods of disuse.
High-Level Areas Covered
- Tops of pipework and ventilation shafts
- ‘Tracks’, suspended from the ceiling, containing electrical and/or other cabling
- Tops of light fittings and chandeliers
- Tops of ceiling beams or other building infrastructure
- Guttering
Reduced risk of enforcement, closure or prosecution
Ingot Services’ commercial air hygiene cleaning service is designed to help ensure utmost compliance with all relevant health and safety and hygiene requirements. Completed to a national standard by industry experts, and certified upon completion, this service works to keep commercial spaces of size and scope in line with legal obligations.
Improved conditions for building users
Satisfactory and safe conditions are essential to the successful operation of a commercial space. With ductwork and ventilation systems able to harbour and spread a number of harmful particles, pathogens, and bacteria, specialist cleaning is essential to the creation of satisfactory conditions for all building users – helping avoid ‘sick building syndrome’, and the spread of illness.
Lowered risk of contamination
Dust and dirt left to gather on high-level surfaces can harbour and spread potentially harmful bacteria and chemicals – proving particularly problematic for warehouses or large spaces storing food. High-level cleaning works to eliminate this risk, ensuring that all hard-to-reach surfaces are brought in line with health and safety standards.
Simplified Maintenance
Conducting regular high-level cleaning can assist greatly in the maintenance of a number of building features, including drainage, air ducting, digital cabling, pipes, light fixtures, and electrical systems.

How do I keep a warehouse clean?
Though warehouses experience significant benefits from the implementation of a regular cleaning routine covering all commonly used areas, equipment, and surfaces, it is important to consider the commonly looked sites open to gathering potentially harmful dust and dirt - putting both employees and product at risk.
Ingot Services believe the best way in which to keep a warehouse completely clean is to create a comprehensive, regular cleaning plan - allowing regular daily cleaning and specialist services such as high-level and ventilation cleaning to work hand in hand.
How can I clean out of reach areas safely?
Cleaning out of reach areas can prove difficult in a commercial environment. With many complex elements of ductwork, shelving, and tracks placed at potentially dangerous heights, it is essential that cleaning is conducted by qualified specialists using purpose-built equipment to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Ingot's high-level cleaning service works to ensure all cleaning is conducted in the safest manner possible, adhering to all industry, and health and safety regulation. Performed by trained technicians with the aid of specialised equipment such as harnesses, scissor lifts, and booms, this service delivers an optimal finish in a safe, efficient manner.
What is MEWP?
MEWPs (also known as mobile elevated working platforms) are an essential element in ensuring that high-level cleaning is conducted in a safe, and effective manner. Available in both a boom (cherry picker) and vertical (scissor lift) format, MEWPs allow operatives to reach otherwise inaccessible areas throughout a number of commercial spaces.
As MEWPs are considered relatively complex and potentially dangerous machinery if operated incorrectly, it is essential that all users are fully MEWP qualified.
what is an IPAF licence?
IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation) offers trained professionals a number of licences, cards, and certification, including PAL cards, IPAF cards, and IPAF licences as proof of their correct training and usage of powered access equipment. In the case of high-level cleaning, this equipment includes booms and scissor lifts.
Each of Ingot Services' high-level cleaning technicians holds an IPAF licence, ensuring our consistent delivery of safe cleaning to all high-level clients.
How long does high level cleaning take?
The amount of time taken to complete a high level clean can depend on a number of factors, including the amount of cleaning required to bring the space in line with environmental health regulations, the elements of the space requiring high-level cleaning, and the provider selected to perform the service. Though any amount of time may seem too long for cleaning to disrupt regular work, Ingot Services are proud to offer high-level cleaning on a 24-hour basis, minimising the impact of any task undertaken.
How do you clean commercial gutters?
Reaching commercial guttering, especially those located in hard-to-reach areas on larger and taller buildings could prove a dangerous task for those untrained in specialist cleaning, and without access to particular equipment. In order to stay in line with health and safety regulations, it is highly recommended that businesses and organisations bring on board high-level cleaning teams to perform any complex cleaning, which may be considered dangerous as a result of height or location.
Ingot Services are proud to offer a fully accredited high-level cleaning service, conducted by qualified professionals with the assistance of specialist equipment such as scissor lifts, booms, and harnesses.
How do you clean warehouse racking?
Though lower-level warehouse racking may be relatively simple to wipe down when empty, cleaning high-level racking and shelving may prove a complex and dangerous task for untrained 'cleaners'.
The most effective way to stay on top of cleaning hard-to-reach areas within large spaces such as warehouses is undoubtedly high-level cleaning. Conducted by accredited experts in a tailored manner using specialist equipment such as harnesses, scissor lifts, and booms, high-level cleaning works to remove all dust, contaminants, and dirt from otherwise inaccessible or overlooked spaces.
