In a block, the surfaces are shared but the bills usually are not, so the first job is agreeing what is communal and who is instructing the work.
Scope before price
Communal gutters, the roofline, stairwell glazing and shared paving are normally block-wide. Individual balconies and windows are often the leaseholder's own.
This guide sits under our Window Cleaning work, covering 20-mile radius of Plymouth.
Access and notice
Residents need notice for window work, parking may need clearing, and some blocks have contractor rules. We plan those in rather than turn up and discover them.
One visit, one invoice
For small blocks it is nearly always cheaper to do everything in one visit and split one invoice than to have each flat book separately.
Questions we get on this
- Do you work for management companies?
- Yes, and we can provide method statements and insurance details on request.
- Can individual flats book separately?
- Yes, though a combined visit costs each flat less.
- How high can you reach?
- Reach systems cover most low-rise blocks; we will confirm at survey.
