Pure water first
The water is filtered until there is nothing left in it to dry onto the pane.
The high glass is the part that gets skipped. Barntown has a lot of large detached houses with landing windows, apex panes over the door and sunroom roofs, and we reach all of it from the ground with a water-fed pole. Nothing leans against your house.
Height comes from the pole.
Frames and sills are part of it.
Side access covers it.
You know when we are due.
Not just the middle of the pane.
Houses this side of Wexford Town tend to be one-off builds sitting on their own site, which is lovely to look at and awkward to clean. You have height, you have glass where a ladder cannot safely stand, and you have planting right up against the wall. Most of these places were designed to be looked out of rather than cleaned, and you can see that in where the biggest panes ended up.
Our poles carry water up to the brush head, so we stand on your drive and clean the top-floor windows from there. No ladder feet go into your gravel, no weight goes on your gutters and nobody goes onto your roof. It is quicker that way too, which keeps the job sensible for you. A pole also moves along a wall in seconds, where a ladder has to come down, be carried and be set again for every single opening.
Apex windows over a front door, landing panes above a stairwell, sunroom and conservatory roofs: those are the ones that go years without a wash, because there is nowhere safe to foot a ladder. Working from the ground solves that, and we can usually do them on the same visit as the rest.
Half the upper windows on a house like yours have something delicate sitting directly below them. We do not need to stand there at all, so your planting and your glazed roof are left alone. Point out anything fragile when we arrive and we will keep well clear of it.
We clean a lot of the larger private builds around Barntown and out towards Coolballow, and the pattern repeats: the ground floor gets done by the owner, and the upstairs waits for us. If the top of your house has not seen a wash in a long while, that is normal and it will still come up well. What surprises people is the difference to an upstairs room. A landing pane carrying five years of film takes real light out of a stairwell, and you notice the change walking up rather than looking in.
Four steps, and the order matters.
The water is filtered until there is nothing left in it to dry onto the pane.
The head is soft. It loosens the film and works into the corners where the dirt gathers.
Rinsing happens from the path below, so nothing leans against your wall.
With nothing dissolved in the water there is nothing to leave behind. It dries clear.
It is not spread evenly through the year.
The Signature Round is where most people end up.

“Grand job on the sills, which nobody else ever touched.”
“On the round since last spring and I have stopped noticing the windows, which is the point.”
“Arrived the day they said and left the garden as they found it.”
“Polite lads, in and out, and the glass is spotless.”
Booked together, they share the set-up.
Barntown sits on our Wexford Town-side round.
We cover Barntown and the houses out around Coolballow, and we work through Wexford Town taking in Coolcotts and Clonard on the same days. A large detached house is our normal job here rather than the exception.
The wider route runs down to Rosslare Strand and across to Ballyhogue. Send the address over and we will name the day you would fall on.
And the round takes the thinking out of it.
You know the week, and the glass stays ahead of it. From €25.
Join the Signature RoundComfortably to the top of a standard two-storey house, and higher again where the building calls for it. Have something unusual? Send a photo of that elevation and you will get a straight answer the same day about whether the ground will do.
Signature Round pricing begins from €25 where a house is small, and a large detached property is priced on the glass it actually carries. Your windows get counted and the access looked at before any quote, so nobody hands you a number pulled out of the air.
We do, and it is one of the jobs people ask us about most out here. Roof glazing is reached from the ground with the pole, so nothing is knelt on or walked over. Leaf litter in the gutter beside it often turns out to be half the problem, and we will point that out while we are there. If a roof looks too fragile to work above, you will hear that from us honestly.
Those we can usually reach as well, depending on the pitch and how far back they sit. Send us a picture when you enquire and we will give you a clear answer rather than deciding on the day. If we cannot reach one, we will say so and leave it out of the price.
That is the reason we work this way. Nothing rests against your gutters, fascia or render, and no weight goes on the roof at any point. You are also spared the ladder marks on paintwork that tall houses tend to collect.
Send us the address and a photo or two of the house, and we will come back with a price and a day that suits you. The awkward glass is the part we are best at.
