Our Core Services

Escalator Step Cleaning

Escalators are notoriously difficult to clean properly. Conventional cleaning machines are only able to clean the top of the steps, leaving dirty front risers and oily black ‘tram lines’ on each step beneath the brush guards.

Travelator Step Cleaning

Most conventional cleaning machines are not up to the task of deep cleaning large travelators. Many simply do not have the power or capacity to carry out a deep clean of this type. Our machines are the only ones capable of tackling these large travelators.

Yellow Safety Demarcation Painting

After completing a thorough deep clean to allow proper adhesion of the paint, we spray the yellow demarcation lines to the edge of the escalator steps, to either match existing lines or in the style of your choice.
