Window cleaning in Bronte
Bronte's rebuilt houses use big panes of glass and frameless balustrades to catch the view, and both pick up a salt film that ordinary wiping only smears. Older semis and the two-storey houses of the Busby Parade area have timber sash and casement windows with small panes, paint edges and sills that need gentler handling. Unit blocks add common stairwell glass and balcony doors. Because the land falls away, a window that is at ground level on the street side can be three storeys up at the back, and skylights and clerestory glass on the slope are easy to forget until they go grey.
On ocean-facing glass a vetted window cleaner first dissolves the salt with pure water or a mild solution, then squeegees or rinses, and checks seals and tracks where salt crystals collect. High panes are cleaned with a pure-water pole system worked from below; these typically reach glass three or four storeys up and remove the need for ladders on uneven terraces, and where a ladder or platform is needed, the fall controls in the NSW WHS Regulation apply. Glass balustrades are cleaned on both faces with care for the fixings. Strata changes the booking: exterior glass on a unit block belongs to the scheme, so its cleaning is an owners corporation decision, whereas the inside of your own windows is yours to arrange.
Tell us how many windows, roughly, which ones face the sea, and whether there are balustrades, skylights or a pool fence to include, then add a photo of the rear elevation so the height is clear. Your job reaches vetted window cleaners already working in Bronte and the beaches either side, who contact you with a written quote that sets out inside and outside, frequency if you want a regular visit, and the access method for upper glass. Hiring is your decision; our part is free and carries no obligation. Many owners book a salt clean every few months and a complete clean, inside and out, before summer.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on exposure and how much the haze bothers you. Homes directly above the beach often book a light exterior rinse every couple of months and a thorough clean twice a year; a block or two back, less often.
Usually. Water-fed poles worked from the garden or a lower terrace reach most two and three storey glass, and a small platform or ladder on firm ground covers the rest. The tradie confirms the method when they inspect.
Not when it is done by hand with a soft applicator and a mild solution. Tradies avoid soaking putty and flaking paint, and will tell you if a sill or glazing bead needs attention from a painter or handyman.
For the exterior glass and any work from the common areas or the facade, yes, through the owners corporation. Nobody needs to approve you cleaning your own interior glass.
