Traditional leaves glass dry and clear while we are still there. Pole-cleaned windows are left wet to dry themselves, so how they turned out is tomorrow’s question.
Cleaned by hand, with a squeegee, the traditional way. Someone is at the glass working the dirt off it — and it is dry and clear before we leave, not left wet to find out tomorrow.
Hand-finished edges
Dry before we leave

Traditional leaves glass dry and clear while we are still there. Pole-cleaned windows are left wet to dry themselves, so how they turned out is tomorrow’s question.
This is the one every window cleaner agrees on: a squeegee and a scrim finish edges, corners and glazing bars in a way a brush on a pole cannot. It is why the trade keeps squeegees for detail work.
Pure water draws old grime and detergent out of frames and seals, and it can weep back onto drying glass for months — the trade calls it the conditioning period. Traditional never starts it.
Small panes, glazing bars, wavy old glass and brittle decorative lead all do better under a cloth than a brush. Hand finishing is kinder and neater on anything with character.
Applicator and solution, worked over the whole pane so the dirt actually lifts off it.
Then edges and corners detailed by hand — the part a brush on a pole cannot reach.
You see the finished job and judge it on the spot. Nothing to wait on.

For glass we can reach, hands give the better finish — especially at edges, corners and glazing bars. The pole was invented to solve height and safety, not to clean better.
Yes, if you would prefer it or the height calls for it. Just ask and we will sort it.
One of the reasons we prefer traditional. Brittle decorative lead does not enjoy a brush run over it, and a cloth and squeegee are far kinder to old glass.
Most homes settle on every few weeks, shopfronts more often. We will recommend a rhythm once we have seen the property.
Yes, on the same visit. One call, one visit, one charge for the access.
Yes. One picture of each side of the property is normally enough — no need to arrange a visit just to get a price.
Send a few photos and we can usually price it without a visit. Covering London, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Berkshire. Lines open 24/7.
