Imagine looking out of the window and seeing a scared hamster cleaning your window

Don't be fooled, while the building might look impressive, Hammond is so small that the windows they are cleaning are in fact on a bungalow.

One of the toughest jobs in the world Respect to the cleaning team

Good thing he's got a helmet on

Hammond looks like a really low/short budget version of Tony Stark

Clarkson: Meanwhile, Hammond cleans the tallest building - in the world...

Probably cleaning Tom Cruise's Footsteps 😆

I’ve been doing this 8 years now. Best job I ever had. Keeps you fit, doesn’t feel like work and if you get bored just look down! We’re cool with people looking down, we say never look up. Because you’ll see a mistake that is invariably made whilst cleaning windows stacked up over 600feet high. Good to see hammond gave it a crack. Believe it or not I’ve never seen anyone freeze up or panic and I’ve worked with over a hundred people in it now. Could be lucky

That "NO" at 0:42 came from the bottom of his soul 😂

“It’s harder than it looks” Nooooo, it looks as hard as it actually is.

James May needs to try this!

When your life is literally on the ropes.

"It's harder than it looks" I most definitely never said that looks easy

Just going to say, visiting Dubai, more specifically the burj khalifa, is definitely one of those bucket list entries, just the fact that you can say “I’ve been inside the worlds tallest building” is an amazing brag, not just that the view from the highest the general public can go, makes all the other skyscrapers you see in Dubai, becomes dwarfs by comparison, it’s truly amazing

Imagine cleaning skyscraper's glass and you see a plane heading towards you on the reflection of the glass

KZfaq: Did you click here because we recommend this to you? 0:43

First thought, "Is The Hamster going to roll that building in a ditch ??!?" I love this series, and I think Hammond gets better and better with time.

Hammond: I could not do this for a job. Him: Does it for his job anyway

On today's show "richard cleans a window of a small building, James organizes lingerie and I ride a bicycle"

He clearly isn’t afraid of heights, he’s cleaning a window at 828m where I can’t even be half of that

Respect for Richard doing this!

respect for all who doing this hardest job

Massive respect to Richard Hammond here, massive!

I loved James May in Japan. Looking forward to this show!

They do an amazing job. Amazing feat of human engineering. It is a seriously long way down.

I just love when hamster gets scared 🤣🤣

imagine chilling in your living room and looking out your window and richard hammond is cleaning your window

"I don't want a bucket!" "You're gonna clean glass!" *_I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN GLASS, I JUST WANNA GET DOWN ALIVEEE_*

Shoutout to the cameraman. A real legend to get those angles and shots

i cant imagine the heat they are experiencing cleaning those windows. having lived in dubai for so long summers are all about making sure i stay inside the ac only

He's cleaning windows but is yelling "I don't want a bucket!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fair play to richard he has balls of steel even in top gear he done some crazy things

You gotta be kidding me. I literally peed myself 😬😂

Good effort Richard, after 20 years of Industrial rope access in the oil and gas industry I would have loved to have done this, if only to have it on my C.V.

What an awesome job these guys have

They are using the Rope access or industrial climbing is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical ropework to allow workers to access difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an aerial work platform. Rope access technicians descend, ascend, and traverse ropes for access and work while suspended by their harness. Sometimes a work seat may be used. The support of the rope is intended to eliminate the likelihood of a fall altogether, but a back-up fall arrest system is used in case of the unlikely failure of the primary means of support. This redundancy system is usually achieved by using two ropes - a working line and a safety line.

Well done Hamster, afraid but strong minded. Brave man! 🍻

Very hard working ❤

I used to live in there and every time I would see these guys, I would always think to myself they have balls of steel.

I got damn near anxiety just watching this video, this looks terrifying!

I will never again moan about my job. Ever.

"I just wanna get down alive"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man I wouldn’t even go to the top of the building on the inside

i did this joba few years ago. not on the burj khalifa but here in vienna austria. i didn´t do the cleaning but maintenance. it´s a fun job but very underpayed here. and yes it takes a bit of balls to swing over the edge of a high building and trust in your rope and equipment.

Gotta love Rope Access Techs.

Respect !! Hope they get paid big bucks

Why isn’t this on amazon or Netflix

Wow massive respect for those workers

I don't have a fear of heights but daaaaamn this is something else alright. Been up there but on the observation deck and behind the glass, not out in front of it.

He’s not scared of heights. I can’t even stand on 6 story tall scaffolding without trembling. He’s all up there dangling from the burj Khalifa lol

That's gonna be a big hell hope from me mate

Hammond: I don't want a bucket I just want to get down! cameraman carrying 40 lbs: Am I a joke to you?

From where can i watch the full video?

When is this episode being aired?

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls And all I loved, I loved alone

So great man

: what's your profession? : I clean windows. : hmm.. Ok..🙄 : Those👆 Windows. : Woooh... 😳😵🤯

pov: your in an important business meeting, Richard hammond starts cleaning the window

Even Watching it gets to my nerves instantly

Love to try it.... Hopely they can let me do it..

Well, he hadn’t received any instruction on how to use a squeegee, which makes the job tougher and longer when you ARE actually required to do the job (properly), but he gets my full respect. You can lose your life falling 2 stories, really. And the tallest buildings are no more dangerous. I’ve never been higher than a mere 23 flights. But what impresses me about this fellow isn’t the height of this building. It’s that he had no time to gradually acquaint himself with the high-rise surroundings when he did this, and on an edifice that majestic. And that DOES make all the difference in the world, having time to familiarise yourself with this work environment. I didn’t have to go over the edge until I’d been on the roofs aloft wee 6 storey buildings for well over 6 months. By then, I was begging to go over. Coz I was around such a supportive group of caring gentlemen. We had one girl on our team. She was fearless. 5 foot 1 in stilettos. You see a chick do this, Sonny, you face your nerves pronto. This is NOT a man’s job. It’s a job for level heads. And broads rock the bloody casbah, I’m here to say. Anyone can do this work. Coz fearless people aren’t born, they’re made. But I’m perfectly content with small jobs! I got enough grey hair, thank you.

I could never do this job hanging there by a few ropes im scared of heights like a normal roof top scares me

Awesome Dear

“Comfortable?” “NO” lmaooo

Notice how he's got barrel knots on, that's a no no for a level 1! Haha

Where I can watch the full episode?

James and Jeremy should have been watching him on the balcony

What are the skills needed to get this cleaning job?

*slight gust of wind* *SNAP*

My respect to them❤

Watching from NAGA land Kuknalim Naga

Omg my knees are weak just watching this

Best thing to do when facing fears or when your nervous is exactly what he does here , talk Talk and talk again non stop to distract you from the hell your going through😂😂

Imma window cleaner and watching Richard clean is really funny

Oh my God , crazy job...

THIS IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO WATCH

Wow! Richard, thats fantastically scary!

Props to the camera guy...

Hammond I know you are a TV star but what on God's Earth made you do this??? I can not unsee it.

Very difficult and hard work

Beautiful city 😊😊😊😊👍

I need the link to watch in portuguese (Brasil). Discovery Channel Brasil

If I was a window cleaner I wouldn’t do my job I would just watch people and enjoy the fact that this might be the closest to repelling down a building in the UKSF that I will ever get minus the UKSF part

It’s a year around job. 3 months to clean the whole building and start again. And all I can think of is...how often do they replace the ropes.

Tom cruise be like: hold my cleaning bucket

The Burj Khalifa is an incredible spectacle and well worth a visit. The 'mall" inside was surprisingly empty and most of the "shops" usually just had two or three 'not from here's ' in nice suits or skirt/blouse combinations . . . .most of the women were Russian or Polish and all extraordinarily gorgeous, even the two platinum blondes spruiking the lifts were stunning and really nice in a pushy "dont think , just pull out your wallett and buy what im offering" way and it was usually an attempt to go to the top for an extra 80 bucks . . . . .i went halfway and thoroughly enjoyed the experience: its a HELL of a view but the wifi was shit. All in all, a enjoyable experienced that was ruined by incompetent shuttle bus companies, brain dead taxi drivers and shifty lying tour guides who are very much directing you to THAT shop because oh look, its cousy bro Abdullah who just happens to have a sale on.

I'm afraid of heights. Much respect

That looks terrifying!

This and the bulb changing on that 2.000 feet tv mast require nerves of steel

As I've aged, I no longer have the nerve to go out on a limb or to climb significant heights. It seems too risky and I love life.

Hammond: I’m scared of heights Also Hammond: I can fly a plane!

Rajesh, you are gonna wreck the bucket Rajesh.

I got sweaty palms just watching this

I know it's probably impossible to screw up but I would be imagining I accidentally release myself from the harness the whole time. Like clipping the bucket on me I'd just unclip my harness or something lol

This Is Madness!!

Don't forget to appreciate the cameraman!

What's next Richard ? Changing lightbulbs on radio/tv towers ?

This job takes balls of steel.

If I had that job I would be listening to new kids on the block hang in tuff while I was working

back before he refused to climb down a small dam with a rope, now he's going on a skyscraper?
