Window cleaning in Neutral Bay
With four in five homes in apartments, Neutral Bay window cleaning is largely a strata matter. Sliding balcony doors, big fixed panes and glass balustrades on the blocks stepping down toward Hayes Street and Kurraba Point face the harbour and film with salt; windows along Military Road gather traffic dust and diesel. Older walk-ups have timber and steel frames opening over light wells and side passages. Shellcove Road's Arts and Crafts houses add leadlight, casements and shingled bays, the Whaling Road cottages have small-paned timber sashes with old putty, and renovated houses on the steep streets above Anderson Park have large rear glass two storeys above the garden.
Pole work does most of the job for a vetted window cleaner here: purified water fed up a pole from the footpath or a lower terrace cleans glass three or four storeys up without anyone leaving the ground, which is how NSW fall-prevention rules are met on a sloping site. Taller buildings near the Junction are a different matter: their owners corporations commission rope access or a platform for the whole facade at once. Leadlight, old sashes and putty are hand-cleaned with mild solution and no pressure. Balustrades, skylights, tracks and screens are added on request. On an apartment building the outer glass is common property; exterior cleaning should therefore carry the strata manager's approval, whereas the inside of your own unit needs nobody's permission.
Post the job with the window count, storeys and balconies, and say whether a house's rear is reached by stairs. Vetted window cleaners already active in Neutral Bay and the suburbs around it receive the job, and each sends you a written quote, inside and outside glass shown as separate lines on request. The match is free to homeowners and binds nobody. Because Military Road clearways limit loading, tradies usually ask for a weekday slot and a driveway or dock to park in. For strata buildings a scheduled building-wide exterior clean is the normal approach, and a committee can send us the scope for vetted tradies to quote against.

Frequently asked questions
The inside, yes, any time. Outside glass and balustrades belong to the scheme as common property in most buildings, so exterior cleaning is approved by the owners corporation, with the strata manager usually commissioning it for the whole block at once. Ask your committee when the next clean is scheduled.
Usually from below, with water-fed poles set up in the garden or on a lower terrace and reaching three to four storeys. Beyond that drop, the tradie proposes an elevated platform or trained rope access. Note the slope and the stairs when posting so the right tradie is matched.
Yes, cleaned by hand with a gentle solution and no pressure at all on the leading. Broken panes, loose cames or crumbling putty count as repairs, for which a glazier or handyman is matched instead. A tradie familiar with Arts and Crafts houses will spell this out in the quote.
Salt. Marine air leaves a fine deposit that rain only smears, and windows looking out toward Kurraba Point and Hayes Street collect the most. Many households on that side book the seaward glass more often than the rest. After seeing the aspect the tradie can propose a schedule.
