Crystal Clear at One Glass Wharf

The Temple Quay area in central Bristol has undergone significant urban regeneration over the past decade, developing into one of the country’s leading insurance and financial districts. At its heart is One Glass Wharf – a stunning modern building for which we’re contracted to clean the façade and all windows.

Raising the Roof

A centrepiece of the building is its impressive, flat glass roof which sits over a large corridor and vast atrium. However, being flat means dirt and atmospheric contaminants quickly build up and become visible inside the building. So, while the exterior is cleaned annually, the glass roof naturally needs more frequent attention.

Working over a weekend, when the building was quiet, we accessed the roof from inside the building via a safety hatch. Once on the roof, our team was kept secure using the installed man safe system which, using lanyards connected to our harnesses, we were attached to at all times. The glass structure itself has been designed to be walked on.

A Shining Example

Our Reach and Wash system ensured the clean itself was relatively straightforward. The system uses pure, de-ionised and demineralised water, which reduces streaks, leaves no residue, and keeps the roof spotless for longer. Being free of chemicals also means it’s environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Despite the roof’s natural water run-offs, for the final touch, we squeegeed every panel to deliver a crystal-clear finish, ensuring the roof was ready to shine for returning staff.
