Window cleaning in Point Piper
Point Piper houses are built to look at the water, which means walls of glass facing the harbour, frameless balustrades along every terrace, glass pool fencing on the waterfront and skylights above. Salt spray dries on all of it in weeks, and in summer the mineral spots from splash and sprinklers bake on hard enough to etch. Apartment buildings along Wolseley Road and Wunulla Road have the same problem several storeys up, where the outer face of the glass is common property and often reachable only from the facade. Boatsheds and pool pavilions at the bottom of the garden add glass at the water's edge, where the drop behind the cleaner is the harbour itself.
Purified-water poles handle most of the glass from ground level, up to about the fourth storey, and keep ladders off terraces and pool decks. Above that the cleaner is anchored, on ropes or on a platform; the WHS Regulation 2017 does not allow work at height without fall protection where a fall could injure. Balustrades and pool fencing are hand-cleaned, with a descaler for salt crust, and a glass pool fence stays compliant after cleaning; the cleaner should flag loose spigots or a gate that will not latch. With no licence to check, what we vet is the ABN, the insurance and references from comparable jobs. Strata exteriors need the owners corporation's approval.
Let us know the number of storeys, whether inside glass is wanted as well, and whether the job extends to balustrades, pool fencing, skylights, screens or tracks, with a photo from the garden or the water side if you have one. Window cleaners in the network who know Point Piper reply with written quotes that set out access method and scope. For a gated house, name the house manager; for an apartment, the strata manager can receive insurance details before anyone arrives. We never bill homeowners, and accepting a quote is entirely optional.

Frequently asked questions
Many waterfront owners have the seaward glass and balustrades cleaned every one to two months, with inside glass and street-side windows done less often. Leaving salt deposits over a summer risks etching that cleaning cannot reverse. A tradie can propose a schedule after seeing how exposed the house is.
Usually, with the right set-up. Poles work from the terrace or the jetty, and where the only footing is above the water the tradie relies on anchors or a platform, not a ladder. Explain the position in the job post so the quote covers the access and fall protection involved.
The outside face is common property, which puts exterior cleaning in the hands of the owners corporation via the strata manager, often for the whole building using anchor points or a platform. You can book the inside yourself at any time. A tradie in the network can quote either scope.
Glass protection coatings make the surface shed water and salt more readily, so deposits wipe off and etching is slowed. They do not remove the need for cleaning, and they must be applied to clean, dry glass. Ask the tradie to quote the coating separately if you want to consider it.
