Local window cleaning across Ugborough

Ugborough weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and window cleaning is usually the first thing to suffer. Single-track lanes, tree cover and damp valley air create the conditions algae loves.

Why Ugborough matters for this kind of work

Ugborough weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and window cleaning is usually the first thing to suffer. Single-track lanes, tree cover and damp valley air create the conditions algae loves.

Square-planned Dartmoor-fringe village north of the A38, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the A3121 between Ugborough and the next booking.

Materials & methods we'd use here

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

  • Method

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

  • Method

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

  • Method

    Soft brush heads for leaded sashes on stone cottages and Georgian farmhouses, firmer head for modern UPVC

  • Method

    Schedule reminders auto-sent so Ugborough customers never have to chase
