Chester-le-Street is a few miles down the road from our Washington base, and we clean windows across the town for homeowners and businesses. Every clean is done with purified water on a water-fed pole from the ground, and the glass, frames and sills are all included.
If you are used to a window cleaner with a ladder, a bucket and a squeegee, the pole method looks different. There is no soap, and the glass is left wet at the end. That is deliberate: the rinse water has had its minerals removed, so there is nothing in it to leave spots when it dries.
Why the frames and sills look better too
A brush on the end of the pole scrubs the glass and is then worked over the frames and along the sills. White uPVC frames in particular pick up a grey film that a squeegee clean never touches, so the first pure water clean often makes the biggest difference to the frames rather than the glass.
Upstairs windows above a bay, a porch roof or a conservatory are done from the ground. Nothing leans against the house, and nobody needs to stand on a flat roof to reach them.
Practical details for your clean
You do not need to be in. We just need a way to get to the windows, so if the back is behind a locked gate, tell us how you would like to manage that. Let us know about pets in the garden or anything fragile under the windows when you book.
Some customers want a one-off clean, for example after building work or before a sale. Others want it done on a repeat basis, and how often is agreed with each customer to suit the house. Our regular window cleaning page explains how that works.
Gutters at the same address
If your gutters are overflowing or have weeds growing in them, our gutter cleaning in Chester-le-Street uses a vacuum on poles from the ground with camera footage before and after. Booking both is a sensible pairing, and having the windows done after the gutters means any splashes from the roofline are rinsed away.
The town centre has shops, cafes and offices, and the same pole method works on shop fronts and first-floor office windows. If there are times when you would rather we were not outside, such as opening hours or a lunchtime rush, let us know. Our commercial window cleaning page covers this in more detail.
First cleans and glass that has been left a while
If your windows have not been cleaned for a long time, the first visit takes more work. Frames carry a layer of grime, sill corners fill with dirt, and the rubber seals around the glass can go black. The pure water brush works these back gradually, and it can take a couple of cleans for very neglected frames to come up fully. We will be honest with you about that rather than promise everything on the first visit.
After building work, such as new render, a loft conversion or brick cleaning, glass can be coated in fine dust. A thorough rinse with purified water lifts that without scratching the glass, which is a risk if dust is rubbed off dry.
