How to Transform Walls and Roofs through Warehouse Cleaning
Within the realm of warehouse cleaning, high-level access equipment is a cornerstone of efficiency and industrial best practice. In this blog post, we examine the tangible advantages of high level access equipment for thorough and effective factory and warehouse cleaning.
From grime to shine: we use high-level access equipment to transform warehouses
For many businesses, warehouses are a hub of their operations and day to day tasks. Keeping these premises clean and maintained is essential to upholding the safety of employees and the efficiency of their work.
Ensuring a dust and debris-free environment is even more important for sensitive manufacturing operations, where the presence of dust could potentially contaminate and tarnish products.
Our recent project: High Level Warehouse Cleaning for Atlas Composite Technologies
We recently completed a high level access warehouse cleaning project for Atlas Composite Technologies in Derbyshire, UK. They are a manufacturer of aerospace technologies and other sensitive machinery. It was very important for our client that they were left with a complete dust-free warehouse, as leftover dust could potentially cause problems for their manufacturing process and contaminate their operations.
This project primarily concerned a deep cleaning of the roof and walls of our clients’ warehouses. Industrial MEWPs were used so that our operatives could access hard to reach areas. This included pipes, girders, rafters and purlins. We take a very proactive approach to cleaning; if there is something in our area of purview that is dirty and it is safe to clean, then we will clean it!
We also cleaned:
- Low level electrical ducting cases
- Switches
- Control boxes
- Doors
- White washed breeze block walls
- Connecting offices
- Kitchens
- Store rooms
The Benefits of High Level Access Equipment for Warehouse Cleaning
Here at Kingfisher, we believe that the only way to approach a job is to use equipment and methods that solve the problem directly and efficiently. For warehouses, that often involves MEWP high-level access equipment such as cherry pickers and scissor lifts. This allows our operatives to deliver a thorough manual clean to bring walls and roofs back to sparkling condition and clean hard-to-reach areas.

All of our projects undergo stringent RAMS planning and SSOW methodologies. All areas of work are sufficiently cordoned off to ensure the safety of our team while ensuring minimal disruption to our clients’ operations.
So what are the benefits of High Level Warehouse Cleaning?
