Portslade window cleaning firm wins Checkatrade award

Local firm recognised for service standards

Albion Window Cleaning from Portslade has been crowned Checkatrade's Trade Business of the Year 2026 for the Southern Region. The award recognises the company's commitment to providing high-quality service to customers across Brighton, Hove and surrounding areas.

Founded in 2010 by Greg and Pete, Albion Window Cleaning began as a small local operation with a focus on being professional, reliable and customer-centred. Over the past 16 years, the business has grown steadily, largely through word-of-mouth recommendations and customer loyalty.

The company now operates five vans and serves more than 1,500 regular customers. Its services extend across Brighton and Hove through to Worthing, covering both domestic and commercial properties.

Range of services

Beyond traditional window cleaning, Albion offers pure-water window cleaning, gutter clearance, fascia and soffit cleaning, and conservatory roof cleaning. The company has invested in modern equipment, including water-fed pole systems capable of reaching windows up to 55ft high.

A spokesman for the company said: "This is a fantastic achievement for our business and a proud moment for everyone involved. It recognises the hard work, dedication and commitment that goes into providing our customers with the highest possible standards of service."

The company's approach has remained consistent throughout its growth: treat customers properly, keep to promises, take pride in work and go the extra mile. For the founders, the Checkatrade award marks recognition of building the business from the ground up, developing a team and earning customer trust over 16 years.

The company credited its success to the dedication of its team and the continued support of its customers.
