Flats and maisonettes
Window cleaning for flats and maisonettes
We can often clean lower floors from the ground with a pole. Higher floors depend on the height and whether there’s safe standing room. Interior windows are done by hand on any floor.

What we can reach
Which windows we can reach
We clean outside glass with a water-fed pole from the ground. On a ground-floor flat that’s simple. On a first-floor flat or the top half of a maisonette it’s often possible too, as long as there’s somewhere safe to stand below the window.
Higher floors depend on the height, the angle and what’s underneath, whether that’s a pavement, a car park, a shared lawn or a road. We only go as high as we can safely control the brush, and if a window is out of reach, we’ll tell you which one.
Interior windows are different. We do them by hand, so the floor doesn’t matter, as long as someone can let us in.
What we need to know
Your floor
And roughly how high the windows are.
What’s below
Pavement, car park, lawn or road.
How to get in
Door codes, entry phones or a managing agent.
Balconies
Whether you have one, and whether the glass on it needs doing.
Communal cleaning
Whether the building already has outside cleaning arranged.
Interior, exterior or both
So we can plan the visit.
Maisonettes
Maisonettes over two floors
A maisonette over two floors is often cleaned like a small house: outside glass from the ground with a pole, inside by hand. The difference is access. Shared paths, communal gardens and the building’s gates can decide which windows we can reach.
When we reply, let us know how your front and back are reached, and whether the land below your windows is shared. If we’d need to use a communal garden, it’s worth checking with the building first.
Flat and maisonette window cleaning questions
Can you clean upper-floor flats?
Sometimes. It depends on the height, the angle and whether there’s somewhere safe to stand. We’ll tell you which windows we can reach before we quote.
Do I need to be in?
Not for outsides, as long as we can get to every window. For interior windows, yes, or someone who can let us in.
Do you clean communal windows?
No. We clean the windows of individual homes, not communal areas.
Will water drip onto the flat below?
A little runs down the glass. It’s pure water with no soap, and we take care above other people’s windows.
Do I need my landlord’s permission?
Not for your own windows. If we’d need to use communal land, the building’s rules apply, so check with them if you’re unsure.
Which areas do you cover?
Wickford (SS11, SS12) and Rayleigh (SS6).
