We’re Now Members of the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC) – Here’s Why That Matters
At Harry’s Cleaning, we take our work seriously. Whether we’re clearing your gutters, cleaning your windows, or restoring your fascia and soffits, we believe it’s important to back up our experience with industry-recognised standards. That’s why we’ve officially joined the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC).
What is the Federation of Window Cleaners?
The FWC is the UK’s official trade body for window cleaners. It was established back in 1947 to support and represent both domestic and commercial window cleaning professionals. Today, it's the go-to organisation for safety, training, and best practice in the industry.
By joining, we’re showing our commitment to working to a professional, nationally recognised standard—something we believe all customers deserve.
What Does FWC Membership Mean for You?
✅ Professional Standards
We follow the FWC’s Code of Good Practice, which outlines safe working methods, legal compliance, and respect for customers and property. It's not just about cleaning to a high standard—it’s about doing it properly, safely, and responsibly.
✅ Fully Insured & Accredited
FWC membership requires proof of public liability insurance and a dedication to health and safety. We're also eligible for further accreditations like the SAM (Safety Accredited Member) scheme, which we're currently working towards.
✅ Ongoing Training
The FWC offers accredited training courses—covering everything from ladder safety to water-fed pole systems. We're always learning and staying updated with the latest techniques and safety advice, which means better results and peace of mind for you.
✅ Commitment to Safe Working
We follow nationally recognised safety guidance for all aspects of exterior cleaning, including working at height. That means risk assessments, correct access equipment, and safe systems of work on every job.
Why It Matters at Harry’s Cleaning
We’re not a franchise. We’re a small, local business that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. Joining the FWC reflects our commitment to professionalism—not just in how your property looks when we leave, but how we operate while we’re there.
It also means we’re part of a wider community of like-minded professionals who are constantly improving, supporting each other, and setting higher standards across the board.
