About Us

Welcome to S&E Cleaning, where crystal-clean windows and pristine exteriors have been our family’s passion for more than six decades. What began with my grandfather’s ladder and bucket has grown into a professional, multi-generational business serving homeowners and businesses in Newark, Retford, Worksop, Gainsborough, and surrounding villages across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and South Yorkshire.

Our Family Window Cleaning Heritage

Founded by my father, who proudly continued the business passed down by my grandfather, S&E Cleaning has always been about more than just cleaning windows. We are committed to quality, reliability, and building lasting relationships with our customers. With over 70 years of combined experience, we’ve been trusted by generations of local families and business owners to keep their properties looking their best.

Combining Traditional Values with Modern Cleaning Technology

Using state-of-the-art Reach & Wash systems, fed with heated ultra-pure water, we guarantee a streak-free finish while meeting strict health and safety protocols. For properties that need a more traditional touch, we can still provide classic window cleaning methods for a careful, thorough result.

More Than Just Windows

Our services go beyond window cleaning, we’re here to help you maintain every part of your property’s exterior:

With a reach of up to 65ft, we can handle most residential and commercial properties with ease, all from ground level. For larger projects, we have specialist equipment ready to ensure every job is completed safely and to the highest standard. No project is too big or too small.

Safe, Fully Insured & Health and Safety Compliant

We’re fully insured and compliant with all relevant regulations, including Working at Height Regulations 2005. Every job is carefully planned with risk assessments and method statements, ensuring the well-being of our team and customers. Our professional approach means minimal disruption to your day and consistently excellent results.

Convenience for Our Customers

We combine modern technology with traditional values, making it easy to keep your property in top condition. Our Instant Quote Builder, automated payment system, and text message reminders take the hassle out of booking. Meanwhile, our friendly office team and skilled cleaning crews make sure you always receive a seamless, stress-free experience.

Our Commitment

At S&E Cleaning, we believe that embracing innovation while staying true to our family-run values allows us to offer an unrivalled level of service. Whether you’re looking for Domestic Window Cleaning in Newark, Commercial Gutter Cleaning in Worksop, or a Full Property Exterior Clean, we’re here to help.

We look forward to welcoming you to the S&E family and delivering the professional results you deserve.
