largest operator Principle Windows, the vertical cleaning division of Principle Cleaning Services, has become the second largest window cleaning operation in the UK.
The division, which employs over 100 people and has a turnover of over £7m, has a market share of 3.4%, according to an industry report by IBISWorld.
Principle Windows has grown from humble beginnings in 2013 when it had four employees from East London Business Alliance – a non-profit making organisation, which gives local people the opportunity to get back to work.
It is now IRATA accredited and has a group of IRATA-trained abseilers, a five-strong management team, a technical lead and full-time safety and administrative support. Principle Windows also launched a Centre of Excellence facility in Stratford in 2019 and has developed bespoke, real-time reporting through its drop marking platform.
David Saville, Managing Director of Vertical at Principle Cleaning Services, said: “For our window cleaning operation to be the second largest in the UK in a highly competitive industry is significant, particularly when our portfolio currently only covers the London market.
“Although we operate in a mature sector with many operators, our strategy is to continue to grow organically through continued investment in our people, innovation, sustainability and the use of technology, to deliver even greater benefits for our clients.”
The report highlights that the UK window cleaning industry is worth over £200m with revenue forecast to rise by almost 19% in 2021-22 and grow at a compound annual rate of 9.4% to £343.7m by 2026-7. The private sector accounts
Cleaning equipment contract hire
service launched Cleaning consultant and equipment supplier, Denis Rawlins, has launched a contract hire service to help businesses invest in the latest cleaning innovations, whilst protecting their bottom line.
The service, which will enable customers to hire equipment from leading hygiene brands including KaiVac and SpaceVac, will offer fixed term contracts, with no upfront costs and set monthly payments.
The launch comes as the cleaning and hygiene sector faces severe staff shortages, due to a combination of financial constraints, furloughed staff leaving the sector, and the impact of Brexit.
It’s hoped that the new service will address this shortfall and support those workers that are still out there on the frontline by bringing innovative cleaning machines, that deliver significant cost and time savings, to businesses of all sizes.

for just over 49% of industry revenue, with the public sector accounting for almost 31% and individual households just under 20%.

James White, Managing Director at Denis Rawlins, said: “The cleaning sector is currently facing staffing shortfalls and many businesses are preparing for a turbulent few months, as the economy looks set to fall into recession.
“When a business faces a challenging period, they need to do all they can to protect their bottom line – purchasing larger assets like cleaning equipment often gets put on hold. We wanted to find a way to provide access to the very best cleaning innovations, whilst remaining sensitive to the challenges currently facing our customers.
“We believe that our new contract hire service will not only help customers protect their finances, by removing upfront costs and setting fixed monthly payments, but it will also help them overcome any staffing issues by using equipment that delivers the highest standards of hygiene, in significantly less time than traditional cleaning methods.”
