At Cannins Ltd, we’ve always believed that professionalism and trust should be at the heart of everything we do. We understand that when customers invite us into their homes or onto their commercial premises, they’re not just paying for a clean — they’re investing in peace of mind, reliability, and a standard of care that reflects the quality of their property.
That’s why we’re proud to be accredited members of the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC) — one of the UK’s leading trade bodies for the window cleaning industry.
What Is the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC)?
Established in 1947, the FWC is a nationally recognised, non-profit organisation that exists to support and uphold standards in the professional window cleaning sector. Their role is to:
- Promote safe and compliant working practices
- Provide training and development for industry professionals
- Ensure members are adequately insured and competent
- Uphold a professional code of conduct across the sector
Members of the FWC are required to meet strict criteria, including having valid public liability insurance, demonstrating safe methods of work (particularly at height), and abiding by the highest standards of workmanship and customer service.
In short — FWC membership means a company is proven, qualified, and accountable.
Not All Logos Tell the Truth…
It’s worth knowing that not every company that uses the FWC logo is actually a member. Sadly, there are businesses that copy logos for marketing purposes without ever undergoing the checks or training required for genuine membership.
This is not only misleading but unfair to clients who think they’re hiring a qualified team.
We encourage all potential clients to verify FWC membership by visiting www.f-w-c.co.uk, calling the Federation directly, or asking the company for confirmation of their membership status.
How Cannins Goes Above and Beyond
Our membership with the FWC is just one part of our wider commitment to excellence. We’re a family-run company that values traditional customer service — the kind that respects your time, your home, and your expectations.
Here’s what sets Cannins apart:
- All of our team are full-time employees — trained, uniformed, and insured.
- We invest in top-quality equipment and ongoing training, including safe work-at-height and delicate surface cleaning methods.
- We are discreet, professional, and respectful — working carefully around your schedule and privacy.
- We document and improve our safety practices continuously — something that many others simply don’t do.
Whether we’re cleaning the windows of a listed Cotswold property or carrying out specialist roof and gutter work for a commercial client, our attention to detail and care never changes.
