Window Cleaning at Height: Silkbank Wharf Project by Think 360 Services Ltd.

Rope access window cleaning for pristine results—safely, swiftly, and with zero disruption.

At Think 360 Services Ltd., we specialise in delivering exceptional rope access window cleaning services across the UK. Our recent project at Silkbank Wharf, a high-rise residential complex in central Manchester, demonstrates the expertise, precision, and care we bring to every job—regardless of height or complexity.

A Clear View from the Top

The Silkbank Wharf development features expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing across multiple elevations, offering stunning views of Manchester’s ever-growing skyline. To maintain the visual clarity and aesthetic of the building’s windows, the property management company turned to Think 360’s rope access specialists for a comprehensive external window cleaning programme.

Traditional methods like scaffolding or elevated platforms were deemed too disruptive, costly, and slow. Instead, our IRATA-trained rope access team deployed high above the city, working seamlessly down the façade using secure double rope systems. Each technician carried out a meticulous clean using specialist glass-safe detergents and squeegees—ensuring streak-free finishes on every pane.
