The water is prepared
Minerals are filtered out before the pole is even lifted.
That gable window over the stairs, the one nobody has touched since the house was last painted: we reach it from the ground. Our poles carry purified water to the top of a Rosslare Strand dormer without a ladder going near your render, your decking or your flower beds.
The pole reaches, so nothing leans on the house.
Frames and sills each time.
Side access does it.
You know when we are coming.
The whole opening, every time.
And which one you are in now.
Houses here tend to put their best glass upstairs, facing the water. That is also the glass that is hardest to get at safely, so here is how we go about it for you. Nobody buys a house here for the view out of the downstairs windows, and yet that is usually where the cleaning stops.
Sandy ground, decking, a sloping path, a bed of shrubs sitting right under the big window: you see all of it along Strand Road and Coast Road. A pole stands on the flat where we do, so none of that matters. We work from the path or the driveway and the ladder stays on the van. Soft sand under a ladder foot is the one that catches people out at home, because it holds firm for a minute and then does not.
A breeze that feels pleasant at ground level is a different animal at first-floor height on an exposed corner. We would rather not put anyone up there on a blustery afternoon, and with a pole we do not have to. You get your job done on days that would otherwise be put off. Over a winter here that is a good many days, and it is the reason our diary holds up between November and March when other work stops.
The wide windows facing the water are too large to wipe dry, and trying leaves streaks straight across the middle of your view. We flood them instead, working top to bottom, and let purified water carry the salt haze off. Nothing touches the pane afterwards, so nothing marks it. The bigger the sheet of glass, the more that matters. A metre of streak across a picture window is the first thing anyone sitting in that room sees.
Around Grange Road and Mauritiustown Road we meet dormers, sun rooms and first-floor balconies. Further along Coast Road the houses sit lower, with long windows instead of tall ones. We bring the reach for either. Describe the house when you get in touch, and the right length of pole travels with us on the day. A photograph of the awkward elevation helps more than any description, if you have one on the phone. It tells us in a second what gear to load, and it saves you the conversation entirely.
Nothing forced, nothing scoured.
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.
Once, or on the round.

“Booked one clean and stayed on the round. Easiest thing I have signed up for.”
“They let me know the week before, so I never have to think about it.”
“Upper windows done from the ground and not a mark on the paintwork.”
“Two years in and the front of the house looks after itself now.”
Same visit, one set-up.
Our south-coast route takes in Rosslare Strand and the roads either side of it.
You will find us along Strand Road, Coast Road, Grange Road and Mauritiustown Road on that run. Homes set well back off those roads are no bother to us, so give us the Eircode and we will find you.
The same route carries on into Wexford Town and out towards Curracloe, and we come down from Enniscorthy at the start of the day. If you are unsure whether your address is on it, ask us and we will check the schedule for you.
It stays clean between visits, and there is nothing to remember. From €25.
Standard two-storey glass is straightforward for us, and dormers and gable windows above that are usually fine as well. Where a pane is genuinely out of reach, we will say so when we look at the house rather than after you have booked. You will not be left guessing about it.
Signature Round pricing opens from €25 on a smaller house. Where there is more glass, a conservatory or high-reach work, we price it on your own property and hand you the number well ahead of the day.
We do, since half your glass is back there. A side gate left on the latch is all we ask. If you are out that day the job still goes ahead, and if there is a dog or a locked gate, mention it at the enquiry stage and we will sort that out with you well beforehand.
The pole delivers a controlled flow rather than a jet, and we work down the pane instead of pushing water into the top of the frame. On an older window with a tired seal we ease right off and mention what we noticed, so you can keep an eye on it yourself. Salt air is hard on hardware here, and a hinge or a friction stay going stiff is usually the earliest warning you get of a seal starting to give.
Rain is not a problem for us. Purified water dries clear whether it is sunny or drizzling, so we work through most of what the coast throws at us. If a real gale makes pole work unwise we will ring you and move you to the next run, and you keep your place in the round.
Give us your address and we will slot you into the next south-coast run. Booking online is a two-minute job, and the upstairs glass becomes our problem rather than yours.
