The Federation

Established in 1947, the Federation of Window Cleaners is a registered professional Trade Association who represents the Window Cleaning industry through active participation on the HSE Cleaning Industry Liaison forum and affiliation with the British Cleaning Council (BCC).

The Federation provides information on all aspects of the Window Cleaning Industry, and circulates this information to all its members.

We assist in an advisory capacity wherever possible and represent the industry in important discussions with government and municipal bodies on all aspects affecting the industry.

Window Cleaners have access to people’s properties more than any other trade, and the federation strongly encourages the general public to use a bona-fide window cleaner, therefore improving safety, efficiency and status of the cleaner. By selecting a registered member of the FWC to clean your property, you can be sure they have liability insurance in place, and that they are encouraged to work to our code of good practice. Should any member be in breach of this, please do not hesitate to contact the Federation on: 0161 432 8754 or [email protected] to verify membership status, or request contact details for a member in your area…..we are always happy to oblige.

We also give advice on most aspects of the trade. Read more about the benefits of membership.
