Today Spick & Span window cleaners were tasked with cleaning the windows and gates of an historic Hampton Court Manor House.

This eight-bedroom Manor House, originally built in 1740,  has a long history of high society connections.

The windows that required cleaning  were located on the lower ground, ground and two upper floors. Some of the windows were accessed from a first floor balcony. All windows including the frames were thoroughly washed both inside and out outside. Work commenced at the front on the outside of the building, and from inside at the top of the building.

The preferred method of cleaning outside was the reach and wash window cleaning method. On the inside all windows were washed using a solution that doesn’t leave smears.

This grand home was in need of experienced windows cleaners who could tackle this type of work.

Spick & Span were very happy to add this property to a long list of exclusive residences that we have had the pleasure to clean.

Some of the highlights of this cleaning experience were the views. Whilst cleaning we observed grazing deer in Bushy Park. We also saw historic walls built by King Henry VIII in 1540.

We were glad to have completed the project in a time frame that was allotted and to the approval of the property manager of this grade II listed building in Hampton Court.

Today Spick & Span window cleaners went to clean windows at one Kensington Gardens, W8.
One Kensington Gardens is a residential development. It has 9 floors and contains 97 apartments. This exclusive building is located in between De Vere Gardens and Victoria Road, and overlooks Kensington Gardens, hence the name.

Spick & Span were involved in cleaning the windows of a ground floor apartment which comprised of 8 very large floor-to ceiling windows. Each window had to be reached by long telescopic poles. There were railings in front of the windows which made access quite difficult. However the difficulty of access was overcome by the tools that were used.

The reach and wash method that is ideal system for cleaning difficult to access windows. Purified water which is pumped through brushes is used to scrub the windows. The windows dry naturally and completely spotless.

The client was very pleased with the end result. Based on the comments that were received after the window cleaner had completed the  work we expect that we may be employed to go back to clean the windows at one Kensington Gardens again in the not too distant future. We would be delighted to attend again to clean the windows of this stylish building close to the Royal parks.
