Window Cleaning - covering Efford and the PL3 area

If the window cleaning at your Efford property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Newer estates have shallow gutters and shorter downpipes that block faster than people expect.

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Efford properties we treat have render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Four-stage RO/DI rig producing pure water - matters more for the moderate elevations in Efford

  • Method

    Carbon-fibre poles to 35 ft, sized for the typical modern estate roof line in PL3

  • Method

    Soft brush heads for leaded sashes on post-war council housing and 1960s semis, firmer head for modern UPVC

  • Method

    Pre-visit message the evening before - useful if you're parked tight on Old Laira Road
