Roof window cleaning

A roof window gets dirty faster than an ordinary one: it sits at an angle and collects dust, pollen, leaves and rain marks. It is also hard to reach from both sides, especially when it is high above the stairs or over the bed in a loft room. Roof windows are cleaned from inside by rotating the sash, with no need to go onto the roof.

The price depends on how many windows there are, their size and whether the frame, blinds and sill are cleaned as well.

What the cleaning covers

• cleaning both sides of the glass after rotating the sash;
• cleaning the frame, sash and seals;
• dusting or wiping the blind, if one is fitted;
• wiping the sill and the reveals;
• checking that the sash closes properly afterwards.

High windows and windows above stairs

Where a window cannot be reached from the floor, the tradesperson uses a stepladder or a telescopic pole. Say in the request how high the windows are and whether there is furniture or a staircase below them, as that affects the equipment and the time needed.

What to prepare

Move furniture away from the windows and clear the sills. Give the number of windows and their rough size, ideally with one photo. If a window is stiff to rotate or sticks, mention it, as it may need adjusting.
