We’ve built our name on reliability, care, and doing the job properly from start to finish.

Dorking’s got a real variety of buildings, from character cottages along West Street to newer homes out towards Deepdene, and commercial units just off the A24. And every one of them needs clean, well-maintained windows to look their best. That’s where we come in. We know the area, we understand the properties, and we tailor our work to suit you.
Here are just some of the window types we clean in Dorking:
- Sash windows on period properties
- Casement windows on modern homes
- French doors and full-length patio glazing
- Velux and loft windows
- Dormer windows and gables
- Bay and bow windows
- Glass shopfronts and office blocks
Every home and every building is different, but our approach stays the same—safe, careful, and consistent.

Our window cleaning Safety Compliance
Safety’s not something we take lightly. Every time we clean windows—whether it’s a one-storey bungalow or a five-storey office—we follow strict UK safety regulations. It protects us, your property, and everyone nearby. We’re fully trained, fully insured, and always up to date with best practice and legal standards.
We carry out a risk assessment before any new job, especially where access might be tricky or work is at height. We make sure all equipment is checked, maintained, and used properly.
We work in line with:
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – the foundation of how we work on every job
- Work at Height Regulations 2005 – keeps us and others safe on high jobs

Our team is also IRATA-trained for rope access and first-aid aware. That’s how we keep the work clean, controlled, and compliant every time.
Roof Lantern Cleaning in Dorking
Roof lanterns are a great way to bring more natural light into your home—but they’re not easy to clean. Most people don’t want to get up there themselves, and even when you do, the results can be patchy. That’s where we come in. We clean roof lanterns and dome windows across Dorking, safely and thoroughly.
No matter the design or shape, we can get to them without damaging your roof or structure. We use lightweight poles, soft brushes, and purified water that gives you a clear finish without any marks or water stains.
Types of roof glazing we clean:
- Flat roof lanterns with rectangular or square frames
- Pyramid lanterns with angled glass
- Octagonal or multi-panel domes
- Skylights, fixed roof lights, and internal domes
- Glazed atriums and garden room lanterns
What we offer:
- Careful access planning—no pressure on your roof or frame
- Soft, streak-free cleaning using purified water
- No chemicals, no ladders resting on glass
- Full glass, seal, and frame clean
- Optional internal clean for roof lanterns you can’t reach
- Flexible one-off or scheduled visits
A clean roof lantern brings in more light and makes the whole space feel fresh. We’ll help you keep that look all year round.
Rope Access Window Cleaning in Dorking
Some windows can’t be reached with a ladder or a pole—and that’s where rope access comes in. It’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to clean high or awkward windows, especially in places where space is tight or machinery just won’t fit.
Our rope access team is fully trained and experienced in working across Dorking. From taller office blocks to heritage buildings with restricted access, we’ve tackled them all.
Rope access is perfect for:
- Multi-storey apartment buildings
- Office buildings with large glass façades
- Hotels and guest accommodation with inner courtyards
- Converted mills or old schools with high gables
- Churches and listed properties with complex access needs
What to expect from us:
- IRATA-qualified rope access specialists
- Fully insured and risk assessed work
- Quiet, non-disruptive access—no cherry pickers or scaffolding
- Spotless results on all high-level windows
- Rope setup and removal on the same day—nothing left behind
- No disturbance to staff, residents, or the general public
It’s safe, it’s discreet, and it’s often the best way to clean buildings with height or access challenges.
Commercial Cladding Cleaning in Dorking
Cladding can start to look tired and worn when dirt, algae, and pollution build up. That affects the whole appearance of your building—whether you’re running a shop, office, or warehouse. We clean commercial cladding all across Dorking, using safe techniques that lift the dirt without damaging the surface.
We tailor our method to the type of cladding, and we always carry out a visual inspection before we start. That way, we know we’re using the right process for the right finish.
What our cladding cleaning includes:
- Cleaning of composite, uPVC, metal, and powder-coated cladding
- Soft washing or low-pressure techniques to prevent surface damage
- Algae, mould, and dirt removal
- Optional signage and window cleaning at the same time
- Safe access using poles, ladders, or rope systems
- Weekend or evening work available to reduce downtime
Whether you need a one-time clean or regular maintenance, we’ll help you keep your building looking smart.
Gutter Cleaning in Dorking
Blocked gutters don’t just look bad—they cause real problems. Overflowing water, mould on walls, and damp basements are all signs that your guttering might need a proper clean.

We clean different types of guttering:
- Standard half-round plastic guttering on most homes

- Optional fascia and soffit cleaning
- Scheduled or one-off visits, depending on your needs
We’ll get your gutters flowing properly again and help you avoid costly repairs down the line. It’s a simple job that makes a big difference.

Abacus Window Cleaning have been doing my windows for the last few months and after issues with previous window cleaners not turning up I can highly recommend Abacus. They are a professional and reliable company and always let me know when to expect them. My windows are always left looking so clean once they’ve been. Thank you guys.

Just had my first clean and I was extremely impressed. The guy who came to clean was super quick and efficient, no messing just came and did the job as promised. Payment was done online and I received a text the day before they came so I was not disturbed and literally had to do nothing.
