Window cleaning in Lindfield
Federation and bungalow houses in Lindfield carry timber casements and double-hung sashes, often with leadlight or coloured glass panels in the front rooms and fanlights over doors. The putty and paint are old, the glass can be thin and wavy, and the sills are timber. These windows need hand cleaning with soft tools and controlled water, not a pressure rinse. Apartment buildings by the station and along the highway have large sealed panes, sliding doors and glass balustrades that are easier to clean but numerous, and their lower floors film over with road dust. Everywhere, pollen in spring and jacaranda flowers in November leave sticky residue, and shaded southern glass grows mould on the seals.
A vetted window cleaner uses purified water and a soft brush on a water-fed pole for upper floors, which reaches most two-storey houses and the lower levels of apartment buildings from the ground, so ladders are rarely needed. For leadlight and heritage glass, they switch to hand tools, reduce water and avoid pressing on the lead cames. Flyscreens come off and go back, tracks are vacuumed and sills are wiped. If a ladder or the roof cannot be avoided, fall controls are mandatory under the WHS Regulation. In strata buildings the outside glass and balustrades form part of the common property, so that work is booked by the owners corporation, while inside glass belongs to each owner. Nothing abrasive touches coated or tinted glass.
Give a rough window count, note any leadlight, skylights or glass balustrades, say how many storeys, and whether the inside, the outside or both need doing. Independent window cleaners we have vetted, who work in Lindfield and the Upper North Shore, receive the job and quote directly. Their quote ought to describe the method for heritage glass and high windows, list screens and tracks if included, and give a time of day, since many Lindfield owners prefer a weekday morning before the school traffic on the highway. Being matched is free, and it commits you to nothing. For apartments, arrange lift access and a visitor space with the building manager.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, by hand with soft cloths, a mild solution and very little water. Pressure and poles are kept away from lead cames and old putty. If a panel is bowed or a came is split, the cleaner will tell you so a leadlight specialist can look at it.
The flowers leave a sticky residue that can mark paint and glass if it dries on. A clean after the flowering finishes, with sills wiped and tracks cleared, deals with it. Mention it so the cleaner allows the extra time.
The building's exterior glass forms part of the common property, and the owners corporation arranges its cleaning, often through the strata manager on a schedule. You can book the inside glass yourself, and we can match that job directly.
Most water-fed pole systems carry purified water in the van, so they need only a parking spot within hose reach. On a long Lindfield driveway that is easy; near the station the cleaner may ask about a loading zone.
