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.
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
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.
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.
