Water-fed pole or traditional window cleaning?
Water-fed pole cleaning uses purified water fed up a telescopic pole to a brush, so the glass and frames are scrubbed and rinsed from ground level.
Because the water has had its minerals removed, it dries without leaving spots or streaks — there is nothing left behind on the glass to dry into a mark.
Where the pole system wins
- Upper-floor windows reached safely without ladders
- Conservatory roofs and awkward elevations over borders or extensions
- Frames and sills cleaned properly at the same time as the glass
- No ladders resting on gutters, glazing or planting
- Consistent results in most weather, including light rain
Where traditional work still suits better
Interiors, some older frames, and ground-floor shopfronts often come up better with cloth and squeegee work.
The right choice is made for the building rather than out of habit — most properties end up with a mix of both.
What to expect on a first visit
The first clean on a property that has been left a while usually takes longer, and glass that has been weathered for a season may look its best after the second visit once the frames and seals have been thoroughly cleared out.
