Window cleaning in Woollahra
Woollahra's windows are mostly old. Victorian terraces and villas have timber double-hung sashes with slender glazing bars, thin original glass in places and putty that has seen a century of weather, plus French doors onto verandahs and balconies with iron lace in the way. Rear extensions add skylights, bifold doors and glass roofs that sit under jacarandas and figs and collect leaves, sap and pollen. Unit blocks have aluminium or steel frames and common-area glass at entries. Street trees keep the fronts shaded, so frames grow mildew and tracks fill with grit, and the backs face courtyards where overhanging growth brushes the glass.
A vetted window cleaner treats old joinery gently: no scrapers on soft glass, no pressure on putty or paint, and frames wiped rather than soaked. Water-fed poles with purified water reach second-storey sashes and verandah glass from the garden or footpath, and the pole brush is soft enough for original panes. Glass roofs and skylights are cleaned from a platform or pole rather than walked on, with WHS fall controls wherever a fall could injure. French doors and lace are done by hand. In unit blocks, the outside of windows and the entry glass generally belong to the owners corporation, so a whole-building clean is its decision, while your inside glass is yours to book.
Tell us roughly how many windows, which are upstairs, whether there is a skylight or glass roof, and how the back is reached, and vetted window cleaners who work in Woollahra will contact you with a written quote. Most terraces have no side access, so cleaners carry gear through the house or along a rear lane; say which applies. The quote sets out the method for each window type and a sensible interval given the trees. Every cleaner in the network has been checked for ID and ABN, insurance, references and conduct. Free for homeowners, no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Not when used properly. The brush is soft and the water is purified, so there is no abrasion and no residue. Loose putty or flaking paint is noted rather than disturbed. Old glass is thinner and more uneven than modern panes, which is exactly why cleaners avoid scrapers and pressure on it.
Yes, from a platform or with a pole from the courtyard, not by standing on it. Leaf litter and sap from overhanging trees are soaked and brushed off with purified water. The gutters around the glass are usually cleared at the same time so debris does not wash straight back on.
Through the house, with floors protected and equipment carried by hand, or along a rear lane if there is one. Hoses can often run through from the front. Describe the layout in your post so the quote includes the extra handling.
The owners corporation, via the strata manager, handles the outside of the windows and the common-area glass, since those are usually common property. Individual owners book their own inside glass. Posting the job collects written quotes from vetted cleaners for the committee to consider.
