Why do windows look worse a day after rain than before it? Rainwater carries dust, and when it evaporates it leaves that dust behind as spots. Our system fixes the cause. We clean with purified, deionised water that holds no minerals, so it dries clear, and we reach first and second floor glass with a water-fed pole from the ground. Frames and sills get rinsed too, and no ladder ever leans on your walls.
The service covers houses, flats, conservatories and skylights, shopfronts and offices, plus the glass on your car. We drive 18.5 road miles from Chilham, about 27 minutes, and add no call-out charge for Sherwood. The van supplies both water and power, so you do not need to leave a tap or socket available.
Sherwood homes, high windows and frequent showers
Housing in the 3 Census 2021 neighbourhoods (MSOAs) closest to the centre of Sherwood is mixed in a way that suits a pole system well. Semi-detached homes make up 30.3% and detached 16.4%, many with bay windows, upstairs sashes and the odd conservatory at the back. In the same neighbourhoods, terraces account for 23.9%, often with tall front windows straight onto the pavement, and flats and other homes for 29.3%, some of them above shop units. Reaching a second floor window above a shop doorway safely is a pole job, not a ladder job.
Older painted frames and original glass dislike harsh chemicals, and pure water needs no detergent at all. Shopfronts on the A60 collect traffic film as well as rain spots, so they usually benefit from a shorter gap between cleans than houses on quieter side roads. Sherwood also gets around 145 wet days a year. Glass cleaned with tap water and a squeegee picks up rain spots quickly; glass rinsed with pure water dries without any residue for that rain to cling to.

Reaching windows across NG5, NG7 and the neighbouring streets
Window cleaning is offered across NG5 and NG7, as well as Carrington, Woodthorpe, Mapperley, New Basford, Basford, Daybrook and Bestwood. Shop and office frontages along the Sherwood shopping precinct on Mansfield Road can be fitted around trading hours. For terraced streets, the van needs to stop close enough for the hose to reach, so a legal space near the front door helps. Back gardens and side passages should be unlocked if you want rear windows or a conservatory done; for conservatory roofs and skylights, ask us for a quote first.

Practical tips for clearer glass in Sherwood
Every four to eight weeks keeps most homes looking sharp; houses on the A60 or near the ring road, which collect traffic film faster, may want the shorter end of that. Move pot plants, bins and garden furniture away from the walls beforehand, and open any gates. Pull curtains back if you want us to check for marks from the outside.
Spring is a good time for a first clean of the year, after winter's 31 nights of air frost and the grime they bring. Avoid booking straight after you have had frames painted, as new paint needs time to harden before we rinse it.
From Our Google Reviews
"Absolutely incredible. Came in the afternoon, saw the state of my Jeep and did an unbelievable job. The idea of cleaning that car had been weighing on me for a while and these guys made it so easy. They made sure they did the job right, and saved me so much money compared to the other quotes I had. Thank you."
Window Cleaning in Sherwood: Questions
Usually, yes. The water-fed pole reaches first and second floor glass from the pavement, so we do not need access through the shop. We will need a nearby legal place to stop the van. Tell us roughly which building it is when you book so we can check how the pole will reach.
Not in the way people expect. Because we rinse with pure water, nothing is left on the glass for raindrops to bond to, so a shower usually runs off and dries fairly clean. Heavy rain carrying road spray is a different matter, but a light shower on the day is no reason to cancel.
Yes. Vehicle glass is cleaned inside and out, which matters more than most people think. Grime on the inside of a windscreen causes glare from low sun and headlights, and makes the glass mist up faster on cold mornings. It pairs well with a house window visit.
