Our Gateshead window cleaning is done with filtered, de-ionised water on a long pole, washing the glass, frames and sills from the drive or garden with no ladders and no detergent. Gateshead sits just across from Washington, so it is one of the closest places we cover, and we clean for homeowners and commercial premises.
A lot of Gateshead homes sit on leafy estates in places such as Low Fell and Whickham. Trees are lovely to look at, but they drop sap, pollen and seed cases onto glass all through spring and summer, and in autumn wet leaves stick to sills and frames. Those sticky marks are hard to shift with a quick wipe.
Dealing with sap and pollen
The brush on the pole is fed with purified water continuously, so sticky deposits are softened and worked loose rather than smeared. We pay attention to the edges of each pane and the corners of the frame, where pollen gathers. Once the glass is rinsed with the same pure water, it dries clear, because there are no minerals in the water to leave spots.
Estates with porches, bay windows and single storey extensions are easy to reach this way. The pole goes over the porch roof from the drive without anything resting on the tiles or the guttering.
Windows and gutters together
The same trees that mark your windows fill your gutters. Many Gateshead customers ask us to clear the gutters on the same visit as the windows, which saves a second appointment. We vacuum gutters from the ground and show you camera footage of the inside of the run, as described on our Gateshead gutter clearing page.
Fascias and soffits can be added too. They sit right above the windows and tend to look grubby once the glass below is sparkling. Our fascia and soffit cleaning uses a soft wash suited to the material.
Keeping it simple
You do not need to be in, as long as we can reach the windows from outside. Some people book a single clean to freshen up the house; others prefer a regular cycle so the film never builds up. Whatever you choose, ring 07501060609 or use the quote form and we will talk it through. If you want to know what shapes the cost, our guide on window cleaning prices explains the main factors.
Older homes and newer estates
Gateshead mixes Victorian terraces near the town centre with interwar semis and modern estates on the outskirts. Older terraces often have timber sashes or replacement frames set deep into brick, with wide stone sills that gather dirt in the corners. Newer houses have uPVC frames that turn grey and dull when traffic film and algae settle on them. The brush on the pole cleans both, working into the corners of the sill and along the frame as well as across the glass.
Many newer homes also have bi-fold or patio doors with large panes. Big sheets of glass show every streak, which is where pure water earns its keep: with nothing left in the water to dry on the surface, large panes clear evenly.
If your frames have been left for a long time, the first clean may take a little longer than the ones that follow. We will tell you that when we quote, rather than on the day.
Questions about window cleaning in Gateshead
Can you remove tree sap from windows?
Sap is softened with purified water and worked off with the brush, then rinsed. Very old or baked-on marks may take more than one clean.
Can you do my gutters at the same time?
Yes. Gutters can be vacuumed from the ground on the same visit as the windows.
Do you clean bay windows and porches?
Yes. The pole reaches over porches and around bays from the drive or garden.
Is any detergent used on the glass?
No. Only filtered, de-ionised water is used, which is why it dries without streaks.
Do you clean for businesses in Gateshead?
Yes. Commercial premises are part of our work as well as homes.
