The water is prepared
Minerals are filtered out before the pole is even lifted.
Most people ring us about the glass. What we clean is the whole window: frame, sill, bead and drainage slots included, because on a Castlebridge house that is where the damp air off the harbour side does its quiet work on you.
Everything is done from the ground.
Sills and frames on every visit.
Side access is enough for us.
You know the week we are coming.
Glass, and the parts around it.
Clean glass in a dirty frame looks wrong, and it does not stay clean for long either. Here is what we keep finding on frames around the village, and what we do about each of them.
Where the Slaney meets the harbour side, the air stays wet long after the rain stops. That moisture lodges in the rubber bead around your pane and along the bottom rail, and a black speckle grows there before it shows anywhere else. We brush that line on every visit and rinse it out properly.
The little slots at the base of a uPVC frame are there to let rainwater out. Silt, pollen and cobweb fill them without you ever seeing it happen, and then water sits on your sill instead of running away. We clear them as part of the clean, so your window drains the way it was built to.
The older houses in the village core carry painted timber sashes. The newer ones a road away are uPVC throughout. We ease off the pressure on tired paintwork and give the plastic a firmer working over. Tell us which you have when you book, or leave us to judge it on the day.
Castlebridge runs from its old core out to newer houses along the roads towards Curracloe and Wexford Town, and the window styles change as you go. What does not change is the damp air off the water and what it does to your frames. We bring the same care to both ends of the village, and you get the whole opening left clean.
Start to finish, in four.
Minerals are filtered out before the pole is even lifted.
The brush moves the film off the pane and out of the frame edges.
Rinse water travels the pole, so the upper glass is done without ladders.
With no detergent and no minerals, the pane dries clear by itself.
The other three jobs, on the one visit.
One of them people rarely go back from.
When you need it
From €25
Castlebridge sits on our harbour-side round, along with the townlands spread around it.
We clean in Castlebridge village and out along the roads towards Curracloe and Screen. Houses down the lanes in between fall on the same day for us, so do not assume you are too far out to ask.
The same round carries into Wexford Town and up as far as Ballymurn, and we set out from Enniscorthy each morning. Send us the Eircode with your booking and we will confirm which day we are nearest you.
Every visit, not as extras.
Same team, same standard, priority in the diary. From €25.
Join the Signature RoundThe frames and sills are part of the clean, not an addition to it. We do not think a window is finished with grime still sitting in the bead, so it is in the job rather than on the bill. You get the whole opening done for the price you were quoted.
The Signature Round starts from €25 for a smaller Castlebridge home. Larger houses, conservatories and awkward access get their own quote, and we give you that figure before you commit to anything.
The filaments are soft and the water does most of the work, so sound paintwork comes to no harm. Where paint is already flaking we work lighter around it and mention it to you afterwards, because you would rather hear that from us than find it yourself later.
Much of it will, since a lot of what looks like mould is surface growth in the damp line and it lifts with brushing and rinsing. Where it has got into old sealant we will tell you straight. If the render around it has gone the same way, ask us about a softwash while we are with you.
Book online at eireshine.ie/schedule-window-clean, or message us your Eircode with a photo of the front of the house. Either way we come back to you with a day and a price you can rely on.
Leave us the frames as well as the glass and you will see the difference along the bottom of every window. Book online or send us a message, and we will take it from there.
