Professional window cleaning services in London since 2012
Basiclifebasics was established in 2012 by two experienced window cleaners who recognised a gap in the London market for reliable, thorough cleaning services. Starting with a single van and basic equipment, we focused on delivering consistent results for residential clients in South London.
Over the past 11 years, we have expanded our operations to cover all London boroughs, serving over 3,000 properties annually. Our team has grown to 18 trained technicians, and we now handle both residential and commercial projects, from terraced houses to office buildings up to 15 storeys.
We use purified water systems that remove minerals and impurities, ensuring streak-free results without chemical cleaners. This method is effective for most residential windows and environmentally responsible. For commercial properties, we employ rope access techniques certified by IRATA, allowing us to reach difficult areas safely.
Each project begins with a site assessment where we identify specific requirements, access points, and potential challenges. Our technicians carry public liability insurance up to £5 million and follow Health and Safety Executive guidelines for working at height.
Our mission is straightforward: provide thorough window cleaning that meets agreed schedules and budgets. We aim to be the first choice for property managers and homeowners in London who need dependable service without unnecessary complications.
Looking ahead, we plan to expand our commercial division and introduce maintenance contracts for larger properties. We are investing in training programmes to develop specialist skills within our team, particularly for heritage buildings and conservation areas where traditional methods are required.
We arrive on scheduled dates and complete work within agreed timeframes. Our punctuality rate stands at 96% across all bookings in 2023.
