Modern Slavery Statement — High Pressure Washing Services
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of our company that delivers high-pressure washing and high pressure washing services to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and extended supply chain. We declare a zero-tolerance policy for any form of forced labour, human trafficking, bonded labour, or exploitation related to our pressure washing operations.
Our statement applies to employees, contractors and third parties engaged in power washing, pressure wash maintenance, and associated support activities. It covers procurement of equipment for a high pressure washer, subcontracted cleaning crews, and materials used for exterior cleaning. We are committed to continuous improvement and to embedding responsible business practices into every aspect of our power washing and pressure-cleaning activities.

On the decking, various gardening tools and accessories are neatly arranged, including bright green rubber garden boots, a watering can, a small trowel, a pair of gardening gloves, and a metal bucket. To the left, a large straw sun hat with a purple ribbon rests near a colourful flower pot filled with blooming pink, yellow, and purple flowers, adding vibrant touches to the scene. In the background, a section of exposed dark soil suggests recent planting or garden preparation, with a row of flowering plants and shrubs along the perimeter, creating a natural border. The overall scene is set in daylight with clear weather, highlighting the textures of the grass, soil, and wooden decking, and reflecting typical garden maintenance activities that High Pressure Washing may support in local outdoor spaces around the [TOWN] or [POSTCODE] area, blending landscaping elements with garden care tools and seasonal planting features.](/pub/_photos/gardening/f1463697408.jpg)
We operate a risk-based approach to supplier management and carry out regular supplier audits to identify and address risks across our supply chain. Key actions include:
- Pre-engagement checks on recruitment and employment practices for suppliers who provide high-pressure cleaning labour.
- Contract clauses requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and to allow audits.
- On-site and document audits of subcontractors delivering pressure washing and surface cleaning services.
Policy, Training and Implementation
Our zero-tolerance stance is supported by clear internal policies and mandatory training for staff involved in procurement, field operations and fleet management of high-pressure cleaning equipment. Supervisors and managers are given enhanced training to recognise indicators of exploitation in the context of outdoor cleaning, vehicle-based teams, and temporary labour providers.
We maintain confidential reporting channels so that workers, subcontractors and members of the public can raise concerns about potential modern slavery risks relating to our pressure washing work. These reporting channels include a secure, anonymous whistleblowing mechanism and internal incident reporting procedures managed by senior compliance staff; reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly.
To embed responsible procurement, we require all suppliers to our high-pressure washing business to: complete a due diligence questionnaire, provide evidence of lawful employment practices, and accept our contractual right to conduct on-site inspections. We use a combination of self-assessments and third-party verifications to validate compliance for high-pressure cleaning suppliers.
Supplier Audits, Remediation and Continuous Monitoring

Adjacent to the grass, there are neatly edged flower beds containing a variety of plants, including leafy shrubs and flowering perennial plants with pink blooms. A paved patio area mirrors natural stone textures and extends slightly into the garden, providing a functional outdoor space. In the background, a wooden garden bench and a row of mature trees and hedges offer privacy and natural shade. The scene is captured during daylight hours with soft natural lighting, indicating clear weather. This outdoor space exemplifies an organized garden layout suitable for gardening services such as lawn care, planting, and landscape maintenance, central to a typical residential property near [TOWN], with visible attention to plant health and outdoor aesthetic detail, aligning with services provided by High pressure washing.](/pub/_photos/gardening/f2013691904.jpg)
We schedule periodic supplier audits based on risk profiling. Audits for suppliers engaged in power washing and pressure-cleaning services include document verification, worker interviews, and site inspections to ensure safe working conditions and lawful pay practices. When issues are identified we require corrective action plans and monitor implementation closely.
Remediation options range from corrective training and contractual compliance plans to the termination of contracts where serious violations are confirmed. We will work collaboratively with affected suppliers and workers to ensure prompt remediation and to minimise harm, ensuring affected workers receive appropriate support and that labour rights are restored.

She is using gardening gloves and a small hand trowel to tend to planted flowers and shrubs. The garden features exposed soil, a mixture of flowering plants with pink, purple, and green foliage, and a paved pathway made of reddish-brown bricks. Behind her, a beige wooden fence surrounds the outdoor space, which is well-maintained and lush. The scene is outdoors on a clear day, with natural light illuminating the garden area, suggesting a typical UK backyard setting.

Our Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review cycle: we assess audit findings, review whistleblowing reports, update training materials, and revise supplier due diligence procedures. The annual review ensures our policies remain effective, align with changes in anti-slavery legislation, and reflect best practice in the high-pressure washing and power cleaning sectors.
We are committed to transparency and accountability. Progress is measured through a set of performance indicators including the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported and resolved, and training completion rates for staff managing pressure washing operations. Senior leadership receives regular reports and is accountable for driving improvements.
By implementing rigorous supplier audits, maintaining secure reporting channels, enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, and conducting an annual review, we aim to ensure that our pressure washing, high-pressure cleaning and power washing activities are free from modern slavery. This statement is endorsed by senior management and reflects our ongoing commitment to human rights, ethical sourcing, and responsible business practices.
We will continue to refine our approach, collaborate with industry peers and stakeholders, and apply lessons learned to reduce the risk of modern slavery in every part of our high pressure washer operations and extended supply chain.
