Nic

Company director Nic has been in window cleaning all his life!

Growing up around the family business, Nic started by cleaning the company vehicles and collecting money from customers after school.

After joining the team full time and a decade of mastering the art of a squeegee, Nic took over the business in 2017.
He is very approachable, is passionate about delivering a first-class service to our customers and loves to keep up to date with the latest industry technology and equipment.

When he’s not working on the business Nic enjoys watching movies, collecting toys and going out on adventures with his two sons, Max and Teddy.

Nathan

Nathan is positive, hardworking and very thorough. He’s also our Mental Health First Aider!

He strives to deliver the best service possible to our customers and takes great pride in his work. Nathan enjoys working with our water-fed pole systems but is always looking to learn and progress within all areas of our business.

In his spare time Nathan enjoys working out at the gym, going to the beach with girlfriend Eve and their dog Frankie and spending time with his friends and family.

Terry

Terry founded Abbey Window Cleaning back in 1981.

Over the last five decades he has seen the industry change from cleaning with scrims and squeegees to the new, safer, water-fed pole technology that leads the industry today.

Terry still helps out and enjoys working with traditional tools for our commercial customers.

In his spare time Terry enjoys travelling the country to watch his beloved Arsenal football club and spending time with his grandchildren.

Alfie

Alfie is Nic’s nephew and Terry’s grandson making him the first, third-generation Milner in the window cleaning industry!

Alfie enjoys cleaning windows with our water-fed pole technology but has experience with all of the services we offer. He is very polite and our customers think a lot of him.

In his spare time, Alfie enjoys socialising with his friends and playing video games. He is currently helping us out part-time whilst studying electrical installation at college.
