Day-to-day operating brief

What Window Cleaner (Water Fed Pole) work looks like in practice

A Water-Fed Pole Window Cleaner cleans elevated glazing from ground level using telescopic poles and purified-water delivery. The method reduces some ladder use but introduces long-equipment handling, overhead hazards, hoses across routes, vehicle-mounted systems and weather limits. Terms should identify rounds, vehicle and tank arrangements, manual-handling controls, maximum pole setup, public exclusion, water filling and the boundary around roofs, fragile surfaces and nearby electrical equipment. Ground-based work still requires a site-specific access judgement. Pure-water quality and brush condition affect the result even when access is safe. Routine records should identify filter or resin changes, contamination and damaged bristles before repeated spotting or scratched glass becomes a customer dispute.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Inspect ground glazing and overhead hazards.
  • Prepare purified-water vehicle and pole systems.
  • Establish hose and pedestrian controls.
  • Use poles within approved length and method.
  • Report cracked glass blocked access and leaks.
  • Complete rounds and customer handover.

A realistic working scenario

An overhead service cable crosses the planned pole path. The cleaner stops and obtains a safe alternative rather than assuming a non-metallic pole removes the hazard.

Outputs to agree

  • clean elevated glazing from controlled ground positions
  • safe hose pole and public-route management
  • complete access and glass-condition records

Records and evidence

  • Round and site assessment.
  • Vehicle tank pole and hose check.
  • Weather overhead and access issue.
  • Glass condition completion and water record.
  • Work records.
  • Handover notes.

Reporting relationship

Typically reports to Line Manager or Department Manager. Confirm the employer's actual reporting structure in the builder.

Authority and escalation

  • The cleaner cannot use poles near uncontrolled electrical hazards, overload vehicle tanks, create unprotected trip routes or extend into roof work without a separate method.
  • Obtain approval before committing expenditure, changing contractual commitments or making regulated or staffing decisions outside the assigned role.

Tools and systems

  • Cleaning equipment.

Workplace context

  • Assigned internal or external cleaning locations, access areas and customer premises.

Training and certification

  • Complete employer-required health and safety training.

Contract priorities

  • vehicle water tank and routes
  • pole length manual handling and weather
  • hoses pedestrians and overhead hazards
  • water use glass condition and lone work

Information the employer should prepare

  • the rounds buildings and normal base
  • the van tank filling and payload controls

Can hoses cross pavements?

Only with effective routing, guarding and active public control.

What wind limits apply?

Use equipment and employer limits for pole length and site exposure.

Can the role replace roof access?

It may reach some glazing, but roof work needs a separate authorised method.
