Streaks, water spots and a grey film on the frames are what most homemade window cleaning leaves behind. Our approach in Clifton avoids that by using purified, deionised water. A soft brush on a water-fed pole scrubs the glass and frames from the ground, then the pure water rinses everything clean. With no minerals left in it, the water dries without a mark.
Since the pole reaches first and second floor windows, ladders stay on the van. We also clean conservatories, skylights, shopfronts, offices and vehicle glass, and bring our own water and power.
Clifton's terraces, semis and rainy days
Clifton's housing is a mix that suits pole cleaning well. In the 2 Census 2021 neighbourhoods closest to the centre of Clifton, semi detached homes make up 37.6% and terraced homes 28.7%, with detached houses at 18.5% and flats at 15.2%. Terraces often open straight onto the pavement, where traffic dust settles on the glass, and their upstairs windows are awkward to reach safely with a ladder. A pole from the footway solves both. Semis usually have side access to rear windows and extensions.
Rain is frequent here, about 143 wet days a year, and humidity averages 80%. Pure water dries spot-free and leaves no detergent residue for new dirt to cling to, so glass stays clearer between visits. Leafy spots bring pollen and debris too, so homes near the trees of Clifton Grove, above the River Trent, may want frames and sills rinsed more often.

Window cleaning around Clifton Village, Wilford and Silverdale
We clean windows throughout Clifton, including Clifton Village and the streets near Clifton Grove, and in Silverdale, Wilford, Compton Acres, Fairham and Ruddington, all in NG11. Businesses near the Clifton Triangle retail park and elsewhere in the area can book shopfront and office glass. For homes, please leave side gates unlocked and keep pets indoors so we can reach the back. We need to park the van reasonably close to run the hose, and on terraced streets we keep the pavement clear for pedestrians. No outside tap is needed, as the van carries the purified water.

Getting the most from a Clifton window clean
Before we arrive, move bins, bikes and pot plants away from below the windows, and shut windows and doors fully. If you have a conservatory or skylight that needs doing, mention it when you book, as roof glass is quoted separately. Let us know about any cracked panes or failed seals; misting between double glazing cannot be cleaned away.
Rain on the day is not a problem, as the purified water dries clear. We only pause for strong winds. A visit every 4 to 8 weeks keeps most homes looking good, with the shorter interval suiting terraces facing busy roads. In spring, ask us to give frames and sills extra attention, as pollen and tree debris build up fastest then.

"Best mobile car valet you can get in Derby. Honestly did a smashing job, went through every nook and cranny you can imagine and made sure it was all very well done. Lovely bloke as well."
Window Cleaning in Clifton: Questions
Yes. The water-fed pole reaches first and second floor windows from the ground, so we can work from the footway without a ladder. We keep the hose tidy and leave room for people to pass. For the back of the house, we need a way through, such as an alley or side gate, so let us know how the rear is reached.
No. The water we use has had its minerals removed, so it dries without leaving spots. Rain falling on clean glass usually runs off with less to stick to, because there is no soap residue left behind. Over time, regular cleaning with pure water helps windows stay clear for longer between visits.
Yes, shops and offices are part of our window cleaning service. Tell us your opening hours and we will pick a quieter time within our Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm hours; a visit before you open can sometimes be arranged. We clean the glass, frames and sills from the outside with the pole, keeping the entrance clear. Regular visits can be arranged to suit how quickly your frontage gets dirty.
