2019 is our 100th Anniversary year since forming in 1919

2019 is Millards’ centenary year, celebrating one hundred years since the company was formed by Major Millard returning from the end of the first World war…an impressive achievement indeed that few companies can boast!

In Feb 2018, a window cleaner in Newcastle was spotted and snapped sitting on a ledge 50 ft up a building with NO safety harness!! How shocking and dangerous…was he trying to prove something or tell us this was the new cutting edge technology to clean windows?!!!  Well, someone snapped a picture of him sitting high up 50 ft on this window ledge

Window cleaners often face a difficult job to do in the first place, risking life and limb to do their job cleaning windows in awkward and risky heights…and therefore form a band of brave and conscientious workers in our society which certainly should be applauded!

Indeed, not everyone may remember this, but there was a time in the early days of Television at the beginning of the twentieth century,when history was made with the first television shows being broadcast in our living rooms directly from the BBC, which was operated from a now iconic building standing on the highest hill in London, Alexandra Palace. Many famous shows and personalities including celebrities like David and Richard Attenborough started out at the BBC and so justifiably the site became famous.

Churches are a specialised sector and therefore require unique types of window cleaning services. Some need the stained glass windows cleaned, as well as large areas of skylight and panes of glass and other unusual old period glass features.
