Modern Slavery Statement for Pressure Washing Services

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our enduring commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains for pressure washing services, pressure wash services and related exterior cleaning services. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that all workers involved in commercial pressure washing and residential pressure washing are treated with dignity and respect. This statement applies across our organisation and to all subcontractors engaged to deliver any pressure washing service.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, human trafficking and exploitative practices. Our policy is clear: we will not engage or tolerate individuals or suppliers who facilitate modern slavery. All staff and contractors are required to adhere to this standard. We communicate this position in contracts, tender documents and procurement processes to ensure that our commitment to ethical cleaning and pressure washing services is explicit and enforceable.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We maintain a robust supplier audit programme to assess risks across our supply chain. Our due diligence for pressure washing suppliers includes checks on labour practices, verification of right-to-work documentation, and transparency in subcontracting arrangements for high-risk activities. Audits are prioritised by risk and carried out through a combination of self-assessment questionnaires, on-site inspections and third-party verifications. We document findings and apply corrective actions where necessary to ensure suppliers meet our ethical standards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple, secure reporting channels to encourage the prompt reporting of suspected modern slavery or related concerns. Workers, contractors and members of the public can report concerns through anonymous hotlines, designated compliance officers and secure online reporting portals. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated impartially. Our procedures protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure issues are escalated to senior management for timely resolution.

To support the reporting framework, we offer training for employees and subcontracted teams on recognising signs of exploitation in pressure washing operations. Training covers indicators of forced labour, deceptive recruitment practices, excessive working hours, withheld wages and restricted freedom of movement. We use scenario-based learning tailored to both commercial pressure washing crews and domestic service teams to reinforce vigilance and appropriate action.

We maintain a formal remediation policy to support victims and address non-compliance found in our audits. Remedial measures range from corrective action plans and supplier re-education through to contract termination and support for affected individuals, including safe referral to specialist services. Our aim is to restore the rights and welfare of anyone affected while improving supplier performance across the sector.

Our procurement processes integrate modern slavery risk assessments for all sourcing decisions related to pressure wash services and ancillary supplies. We require supplier declarations and contractual clauses that uphold ethical labour standards. Regular monitoring ensures ongoing compliance and reduces the risk of modern slavery entering our supply chain. Transparency, traceability and continuous improvement are core to this approach.

We conduct an annual review of this statement and our anti-slavery programme to evaluate effectiveness, update policies and set measurable objectives. The review examines audit outcomes, training completion rates, report handling times and remediation success. Results inform strategic improvements, resource allocation and any necessary updates to contracts and supplier selection criteria.

In conclusion, our commitment to preventing modern slavery in pressure washing services is ongoing and evolving. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, maintain clear reporting channels, enforce our zero-tolerance policy and conduct regular annual reviews to protect workers and uphold high ethical standards across our operations and the broader cleaning sector.
