Window cleaning in Cremorne
Most Cremorne windows belong to apartments, which changes the job. Balcony doors, fixed glass and glass balustrades on the taller blocks along Ben Boyd Road face the harbour and film over with salt, while street-side windows near the Junction collect traffic dust. In older walk-ups, timber or steel-framed windows with narrow sills open over light wells and side passages that no ladder should go up. The Federation houses and bungalows toward Cremorne Point add leadlight, casement windows and sashes glazed with old putty, plus the big new glass of renovated rear extensions that look over Mosman Bay and Shell Cove from two storeys above the garden.
A vetted window cleaner gets to balconies and upper glass with purified-water poles, worked from the footpath, the garden or a lower terrace; they typically cover three or four storeys, which keeps the job inside NSW fall-prevention rules. On taller buildings the owners corporation usually arranges rope access or a platform as a building-wide job. Leadlight and old sashes get hand work only, a mild solution and nothing forceful near the leading. Balustrade glass is included on request, as are skylights, tracks and screens. Because the outside of apartment glass is common property, the tradie will want to know the strata manager has approved exterior work, while inside your own unit is yours to book.
Give us the window count, the storeys and the balconies, and say whether the rear of a house is reached by stairs. Vetted window cleaners who cover Cremorne and its neighbours pick it up and send written quotes, with interior and exterior separated if you wish. No fee is charged to homeowners, who may walk away from any quote. Parking around Cremorne Junction is the usual hurdle, so tradies tend to ask for a weekday morning and a driveway or loading spot. For strata buildings, a regular building-wide exterior clean is usually cheaper per unit than piecemeal bookings, and the committee can ask us to match tradies to quote on it.

Frequently asked questions
The inside of your windows, yes. The outside of the glass and the balustrade are common property on most schemes, so exterior cleaning is an owners corporation decision, generally handled by the strata manager. Many Cremorne buildings run a building-wide clean once or twice a year for that reason.
Lower levels by water-fed pole from street level, good for three or four storeys. Above that, the owners corporation arranges rope access by trained operators or an elevated platform as a building-wide job. Individual residents cannot usually commission that work themselves.
Yes. The salt layer that sea air leaves behind survives rain, and glass that looks toward the water carries the most of it. Harbourside households on the point often book the seaward side more frequently than the rest of the home. Once the tradie has seen the aspect they can propose how often.
Yes, as hand work: mild solution, soft cloth, no pressure jet near the leading, which is how a tradie used to Federation houses will quote it. Loose leading, cracked panes or crumbling putty are repairs rather than cleaning, and a glazier or handyman can be matched separately.
