Window Cleaning in Cheltenham

Regency townhouses, tall frontages and windows others cannot reach

Cheltenham asks more of a window cleaner than most towns. Regency frontages rise four and five storeys, elegant glazing bars need a careful hand, and the finest modern houses carry glass on a scale that shows every mark. We are equipped for all of it, including the windows that most window cleaners have to decline.

Windows that most window cleaners cannot reach

A pole reaches about three storeys. A Regency townhouse does not stop there, and neither do the awkward rear elevations, the light wells and the tall stairwell windows that come with them. It is the reason so many fine Cheltenham houses have upper windows that have not been touched in years.

We own our access equipment rather than hiring it in, so height is simply not an obstacle. Our vehicle mounted platform reaches twenty metres and is operated by a fully qualified IPAF operator. No scaffolding, no waiting on a hire company, and no part of your home left out because it happened to be too high.

Traditional cleaning where it is wanted

Pure water poles are the right tool for most windows, and they are what we use most of the time. But some period glass, some fine glazing bars and some owners are better served by the traditional method, cleaned by hand with blade and cloth.

We are happy to work either way, and we will tell you honestly which we think suits your windows. Being able to offer both is unusual, and on a Regency house it can be the difference between a good result and a genuinely lovely one.

From the Regency terraces to Cleeve Hill

We clean a good number of Cheltenham’s Regency houses, and also some of the finest modern homes on Cleeve Hill, where the glazing is generous and the views over the racecourse deserve to be seen through clean glass. We also look after Richmond Villages, the retirement village in Cheltenham.

A good many of the houses we clean are not occupied all year round. That is no obstacle at all. We work to an agreed schedule, we need no access to the inside of the property, and our visits happen whether or not anyone is at home to notice.

Common questions about window cleaning in Cheltenham

My house is too tall for a pole. Can you still clean it?

Yes. We own a vehicle mounted access platform reaching twenty metres, operated by a fully qualified IPAF operator. Height is one of the main reasons customers come to us in Cheltenham.

Can you clean by hand rather than with a pole?

We can. Some period glazing is better suited to the traditional method, and some owners simply prefer it. We are glad to work either way and will give you an honest view on which suits your windows.

We are not at the house for much of the year. Does that matter?

Not at all. We clean from outside and need no access indoors. Many of the properties we look after are second homes, and we simply keep to the agreed schedule. You can also arrange everything through a managing agent or housekeeper if you would prefer.

Are you insured for working at height?

Fully. We are IPAF accredited for powered access and SafeContractor approved, and we are happy to provide our insurance details and method statements on request.

We would be delighted to look after your home in Cheltenham. You can also read more about our residential window cleaning service.
