Outside glass, frames and tracks. We stick to externals now — it is what we are set up to do properly, and it is where the difference actually shows from the street.
Glass, frames and tracks. Cleaning the glass and leaving a rim of grime around the edge is the difference between a window that looks clean and one that is clean, and the tracks are where most of the dirt actually lives.
Brisbane windows collect a specific mix: dust off the road, salt if you are anywhere near the bay, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers and from the last person who cleaned them with a hose. All three come off.
Most of our window work happens alongside a house wash or a pre-sale cleanup, and that is the sensible way to do it — there is no point cleaning glass before the walls above it get washed down.
Moorooka and the older parts of the southside are full of homes with timber casement windows that leak. We know, we work on them constantly, and we take specific precautions to keep water out rather than discovering the problem on your windowsill. If your windows are old and you have had a bad experience with someone hosing them down, say so when you book.
Not any more. We used to, and we decided to focus on what we do best rather than do a middling job of everything. If you need insides done, we would rather tell you straight than take the booking.
No — externals only means we never need to come inside. Just make sure the windows themselves are shut.
Fine, and reflected in the quote. Height means more setup and slower work.
Usually. Long-established mineral etching in the glass itself sometimes will not fully clear — if that is what we are looking at, we will tell you before we start rather than after.
We can clean them. We no longer do fly screen replacement.
Most of the visible grime on a window is in the ledge, the frame and the track. A clean pane above a filthy sill still looks dirty, so we do both.
Let us know roughly how many windows and whether it is single or double storey. If you are having a house wash done too, ask us to price them together.
