Mount Batten window cleaning, done properly

There's a reason window cleaning sits near the top of every Mount Batten homeowner's list once spring arrives. Bungalows take the worst of it because there's nowhere for water to go but the wall itself.

What's actually different about Mount Batten

There's a reason window cleaning sits near the top of every Mount Batten homeowner's list once spring arrives. Bungalows take the worst of it because there's nowhere for water to go but the wall itself.

Peninsula facing the Hoe across the Cattewater, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Mount Batten bookings with jobs in Turnchapel the same week.

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Mount Batten properties we treat have painted render and limestone walls and a slate and modern membrane roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Four-stage RO/DI rig producing pure water - matters more for the very-exposed elevations in Mount Batten

  • Method

    Carbon-fibre poles to 35 ft, sized for the typical coastal village roof line in PL9

  • Method

    Soft brush heads for leaded sashes on former MOD housing and modern waterfront flats, firmer head for modern UPVC

  • Method

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

Typical problems on Mount Batten properties

  • Hard-water spotting on glass after DIY washes - quickly visible on coastal village bay fronts
  • UPVC frames yellowing where algae has been ignored across former MOD housing and modern waterfront flats
  • Lead lights packing with moss on former MOD housing and modern waterfront flats unique to Mount Batten
  • Trickle vents fogging over on the windward side of former MOD housing and modern waterfront flats
  • Reflective film smears appearing on solar glazing across newer Mount Batten estates
