Window cleaning in Clovelly
Clovelly glass comes in small pieces: timber casement and sash windows on the Inter-War semis and bungalows, aluminium sliders on the walk-up flats, and larger panes on renovated rear extensions that open to a courtyard or catch the view down to the bay. Salt haze builds on anything facing the water, and windows along a shaded side passage gather mould on the frames and putty. Upper-floor glass on semis often sits above a passage where no ladder can be footed safely. Unit blocks have stairwell windows, balcony glass and entry doors that belong to everyone. Renovated homes add glass balustrades, skylights and pool fencing.
The vetted cleaner lifts the salt film with pure water before the squeegee goes on, hand-cleans timber frames without soaking old putty, and wipes down tracks and sills where salt and sand collect. For high or awkward panes a pole-fed pure water system does the work from ground level, handling three or four storeys and suiting the narrow passages, with ladders or platforms only where there is firm, level footing and the fall controls required under the NSW WHS Regulation. In a unit block, the outside faces of windows are common property and need the owners corporation to approve exterior cleaning, while your own interior glass can be booked at any time.
Tell us roughly how many windows, which ones face the bay, whether upper glass sits over a passage, and if you want inside and out. Vetted window cleaners who already work in Clovelly and neighbouring Bronte and Coogee get the job from us, and they respond with a written quote covering access, frequency and anything extra such as balustrades or skylights. You choose who to hire and pay nothing for the match. Owners of semis sometimes book with the neighbour so the tradie does both frontages in one visit, and strata committees can request a building-wide quote that owners add interiors to.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Water-fed poles worked from the passage or the yard reach upper-floor glass without any ladder, and they are the usual choice where there is no safe footing.
On glass facing the bay it begins again within weeks, which is why many owners book a regular outside rinse plus a thorough clean of both faces before summer.
They do. Old putty and paint should not be soaked or scraped, so the tradie cleans the glass by hand and keeps water off the joinery. Loose putty or rot is noted for a painter or handyman.
Yes, for the outside glass and anything done from common areas, through the owners corporation. Inside your own unit needs no approval.
