Window Cleaning in Modbury

Modbury weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and window cleaning is usually the first thing to suffer. Hilltop positions catch more weather, which means more algae on every sheltered face.

Why Modbury matters for this kind of work

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Modbury properties we treat have painted lime render walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Carbon-fibre poles to 35 ft, sized for the typical market town roof line in PL21

  • Method

    Soft brush heads for leaded sashes on white-painted Georgian houses and stone cottages, firmer head for modern UPVC

  • Method

    Frame and sill cleaned at the same time as the glass on every Modbury visit, no extra line

  • Method

    Pre-visit message the evening before - useful if you're parked tight on A379
