Retail shop front glass and signage after cleaning

For cafes and shops across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, our shop front window cleaning covers display windows, door glass and signage glass, inside and out, along with the frames and entry surrounds. We come early on a weekday, before you open, or at a quiet time that suits you.

Why shop fronts get dirty fast

A house window sits back behind a garden. A shop front sits a metre from a footpath and often a few metres from a road. It collects traffic film, dust off the street, and handprints at door height and along the coffee queue all day long.

The base of the glass gets splash from the gutter when it rains, and marks from bins, deliveries and shoes.

What your customers see

A marked display window stops the eye at the smudge, before it reaches the product behind it. The same is true of a menu board behind glass, a price list or an open sign.

Customers look through your glass from the street, so a spotless exterior over a marked interior still reads as dirty. We do both sides unless you only want the one.

Before you open

Nobody wants a customer stepping around a bucket, or the first person through the door looking at wet glass. Tell us your opening time and we will plan to be gone before it.

Signage, vinyl and decals

Vinyl lettering, window decals and applied graphics get worked around rather than over.

Edges lift if they are pushed at, and a corner that has started peeling will keep peeling. We clean up to the vinyl and leave the vinyl alone unless you tell us otherwise.

Regular rounds

Cafe and shop front glass gets dirty fast, so a regular round makes sense. We can visit weekly, fortnightly or every four weeks. You pick the cycle, and you can change it.

A round is priced per visit, after we have had a look at the glass. Because the front glass gets the most handprints, the front can be done on a short, frequent round, with the whole site done less often.

If there is old glue, stickers or paint on the glass, mention it when you call. It takes extra time, and we would rather it was in the first price than a surprise on the day.

Several businesses in one strip

If the businesses either side of you want the same thing, one early visit can cover the strip. Pass on our number or put us in touch.

Frequently asked questions

Can you come before we open?

Yes. We come early on a weekday, before trade, so nobody is stepping around equipment and the glass is clean for the first customer of the day. Tell us your opening time and we will plan to be finished before it.

How often does a shop front need doing?

More often than house windows, because of where it sits. A frontage on a main road picks up traffic film, and one at street level collects handprints all day. We can visit weekly, fortnightly or every four weeks. The cycle is your choice, and we will give you our view once we have seen the street it is on.

Will you clean the signage and the door glass too?

Yes. Signage glass, door glass, the frames and the entry surrounds are all part of the job. Vinyl lettering and decals get worked around carefully rather than over, because edges lift if they are pushed at.

Do you do the inside of the windows as well?

Yes, and for a shop front it usually matters more than people think. Customers look through your glass from outside, so a clean exterior over a marked interior still reads as dirty.

How much does shop front window cleaning cost?

It depends on how much glass there is, whether you want one side or both, and how often we visit. A regular round is priced per visit, after we have had a look at the glass. If there is old glue, stickers or paint on it, tell us first so it is in that price. You get the figure in writing before we start.

We are in a strip with several other tenants. Can that be arranged together?

Often. If neighbouring businesses want the same morning, one visit can cover the strip. Put us in touch or pass on our number.

James and team did a great job cleaning our external windows recently, including windows up high. James was very pleasant to deal with and was happy to touch up a few more spots after I mentioned. Thanks James.

James, Isaac and Zac just completed cleaning the exterior of all our windows to a very high standard. Our Edwardian home presented a range of height and access challenges which they tackled efficiently and professionally. They were punctual and very respectful as they worked diligently attending to every detail of the windows’ exterior. We would not hesitate to highly recommend them for your professional cleaning requirements. Thanks again James, Zac and Isaac.

You don’t realise how dirty your windows are until someone as skilled as James and his team comes and cleans them! Always very impressed with his work, would really recommend! even if you are someone who has never paid attention to getting your windows cleaned, I promise you will see the value in it after James comes and works his magic!

James did a wonderful job with our end-of-lease window cleaning. His communication was prompt, his pricing clear and reasonable and he worked with great attention to detail. The windows look amazing, way better than they’ve ever done! Besides, James is a very friendly guy, it was a pleasure to meet him. Thanks for an all round great job!
