Elevation before estimate

Window count alone does not define the work.

Sash windows, rooflights, French doors, divided panes and fixed upper glazing differ in time and access. Internal faces also involve furniture, flooring, curtains and household privacy.

We request photographs of each elevation and identify internal or external scope, frames, sills, screens and residue. Builders deposits, paint, hard-water staining and damaged seals require separate assessment.

External glass

Reachable glazing is cleaned with the agreed safe access method.

Internal glass

Floors and nearby furnishings are protected while panes and edges are detailed.

Frames and sills

Accessible components are included only to the level stated in the quote.

Access-led planning

Height, rooflines, conservatories and restricted ground are assessed before work.

An access-led cleaning process

How we carry out window cleaning.

Window cleaner detailing interior glass edges and frames with protected flooring

Planning begins with photographs of every relevant elevation, pane count, floor level, opening style and obstacles. We ask whether internal faces, frames, sills, doors, rooflights or conservatory glass are included. Parking, water access and public footpaths matter for external methods. Paint, cement, adhesive, silicone, mineral deposits and post-construction residue are declared because ordinary maintenance cleaning may not remove them safely.

At arrival, the cleaner confirms glass and access. External work zones are checked for vehicles, neighbours, overhead lines, fragile surfaces and pedestrians. Water-fed pole methods can clean appropriate high glazing from the ground, while some recessed or obstructed panes need another assessed solution. Ladders are not used as a default route to inaccessible work, and fragile roofs or unsafe balconies are not crossed.

For external glass, loose soil is flushed and compatible frames are agitated to the included scope before glass receives a controlled rinse. Pure-water results rely on correct technique and drying, not wiping every high pane. Internally, nearby items are moved by agreement, floors protected and liquid controlled. Glass, edges and accessible sills are detailed with suitable tools, avoiding damage to films, leaded sections, loose putty and delicate finishes.

The completed glazing is reviewed from practical angles. Scratches, failed double-glazed seals, internal condensation, etching and mineral damage can remain because they are not removable surface soil. Weather can quickly mark clean exterior glass, and rain itself is not proof of poor work where surrounding frames or pollution cause new runoff. Handover identifies inaccessible panes, permanent defects and any restoration or repair assessment needed.

Window cleaning FAQ

Before the window visit.

Useful answers about rain, internal glass, frames, high windows, residue, preparation and pricing.

☎ Call 020 3608 3976
Can windows be cleaned in light rain?

Often, if conditions remain safe. Heavy rain or wind can reduce safety and quality, so the visit may be adjusted.

Are internal windows included?

Only when quoted. Internal work needs access, floor protection and furniture or curtain preparation.

Do you clean frames and sills?

They can be included to an agreed level. Deep restoration, paint removal and damaged components are separate.

How are upper-floor windows reached?

Suitable water-fed pole or assessed access methods are used. Unsafe improvisation on roofs or balconies is not accepted.

Can you remove paint or cement?

Only after separate assessment because scraping and chemicals can scratch glass or damage coatings and frames.

How should I prepare?

Unlock access, close windows, move fragile internal items, control pets and identify damaged glass or loose fittings.

What affects the final price?

Pane layout, height, internal faces, frames, access, obstacles, residue, equipment, parking and frequency affect the quote.
