By using our services, you agree to our Terms and Conditions below:
1.0 Initial visit
For your first clean only there is a one off charge to cover the additional time taken on the initial clean, this is a 50% surcharge of your regular clean price.
1.05 What can I expect
Our hot pure water cleaning system is very effective at cleaning general dirt from your windows, if you have builders residue (e.g. plaster, concrete and paint etc.) stickers or adhesive, staining/discolouration on windows or frames from chemicals or rust and UV bleaching of frames on your windows, pure water will not be effective at removing these, we can provide a quote for sorting out these issues.
Your windows will be left to dry naturally, and will be spotless when dry. We do not squeegee windows dry.
We offer a 24 hour guarantee against dirt. This includes if the windows do not dry spotless, a bird makes a mess or if a storm makes them dirty again. You must let us know within 24 hours of your clean if there are any issues. Windows are cleaned at the customer’s own risk. They must be structurally sound and be free from leaks. You must inform us of any defects prior to your service.
1.06 Velux windows and skylights
We will clean velux windows on extensions and roofs when accessible from the ground, the use of ladders may require an extra charge on top of our standard prices. Skylights/Glass pods on extension roofs are extra and a surcharge added on top to clean regularly.
We cannot guarentee the finish on velux windows due to the angle they are installed at. The more horizontal angle means dust in the air does accumulate on the glass much faster than regular house windows.
1.1 How often will we visit
We offer the choice of a visit every 2 or 3 months. We ask for some flexibility on time scales due to rain and other factors of a week either side of the time due.
1.15 What do we expect
On The Day Of Your Clean: Your gate must be left unlocked for access to the rear of your property. Full access must be available, we are unable to move obstacles such as plant pots and bins etc. We will not clean any windows that we decide are inaccessible or are unsafe on the day of your clean. If we cannot access any windows due to obstacles or inaccessibility, it will not be cleaned, but you will be charged 100% full price. All cleaning is completed with pure water and is left to dry naturally. We clean in most weathers, unless it is unsafe to do so. We will inform you if we need to rearrange your clean.
1.2 Bad Weather
