We do high window cleaning from the ground. Most windows up to three storeys are reached with a water-fed pole, so nothing leans on your house. It suits double and three storey homes, and windows that are hard to stand next to: over a garden bed, a pergola or a narrow side path.
The windows above the ground floor are the ones that stay dirty for years, because reaching them properly takes gear most people do not have.
How the pole works
Filtered water is pushed up a carbon fibre pole and out through a brush head at the top. The brush loosens the dirt and the water rinses it away. Because the water has nothing dissolved in it, the glass dries clear on its own without anyone touching it.
So there is no need to squeegee and towel a pane dry, which means no need to be next to it.
What it means for your house
Nothing rests on your gutters, and nothing leans against render, window frames or leadlight. The hose is run in a straight, clear line so it does not drag through your garden.
Where the limit is
Most windows up to three storeys are comfortable from the ground. Four is sometimes possible, depending on the ground under the window and how far back we can stand.
We do not do high rise. Anything needing rope access, a swing stage or an elevated work platform is a different trade with different tickets and different insurance. If that is what your building needs, we will say so on the phone and point you to someone who does it. Low-rise apartment and strata buildings are different. We do those, and we quote them per building.
Power lines, ladders and roofs
The pole is kept well clear of the wire to your house and the street power lines, even when it flexes. A window inside that distance is left, and we tell you.
Some hard-to-reach windows cannot be done with the pole at all. They need a ladder or roof access, so we quote them separately, and only a team member certified to work at heights does them.
The awkward ones
Height is only half of it. The windows that get skipped are often not that high, just hard to stand next to.
Glass above a garden bed. A window over a pergola or a carport roof. A narrow side path with a fence a metre from the wall. A pole reaches over all of it from solid ground, which is why most of these are routine for us.
Inside, as well
High glass inside can be done as part of an interior window clean: stairwell windows, voids and anything above a landing. Panes that are extra hard to reach from inside are counted separately when we quote.
