Kensington Court W8 was the destination for today’s window cleaning call-out request.

Spick & Span window cleaners were contracted to come to Kensington to do a post-builders window clean on on behalf of a building company who had recently completed their work in the street.
The building company had promised residents that after the completion of their work they would arrange for all the windows to be cleaned, this they did and in keeping with their agreement, they contacted local Kensington window cleaners.

Spick & Span used window cleaning used tools and techniques that were up to the task. The challenge of the work was that the window were very dirty and needed very deep cleaning. Also the windows were very difficult to reach. Rather than use scaffolding which was initially suggested, Spick & Span window cleaners used 60 ft telescopic poles to reach the 4th storey windows. Bristle window cleaning brushes were also used as these has sufficient scrubbing power. Pure water was jetted through micro-bore hose, to the brush head, via carbon telescopic poles and the window panes were scrubbed and then rinsed, leaving the windows clear and translucent afterwards.

The windows were left noticeably cleaner and the residents were very grateful to at last have clean windows.

The job took approximately 3 hours to complete.

Spick & Span window cleaners travelled down to Knightsbridge, SW1X  to clean some shop windows as a part of a contract to help renovate an iconic building on Scotch Corner, Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. This contract may well become a repeat job in the future, but initially was undertaken as part of Spick & Span’s one-off Knightsbridge window cleaning services.

Spick & Span window cleaners were needed here in Knightsbridge to carry out work urgently because the client had a very tight time frame in which to undertake works at the property and so with just a few day’s notice the work was started.

Work began very early on the day, at around 5am ,before the street was full of pedestrians, this made the window cleaning easier as it limited the number of hazards.

The windows of this the very tall iconic shopfront, which in the past was the store for Burberry’s,  were in a dusty and dismal  condition, due to building works on the opposite side of the road, and the smog and exhaust  fumes that flow out of the vehicles that travel down this very busy part of South Kensington. Because of the shops close proximity to the road, great care had to be given to safety whilst window cleaning here so as to prevent danger to pedestrians and motorists.
Special hi-vis hose was used and cones were used so as to comply with health and safety.

The client required that all ten of the windows to be thoroughly cleaned. The window cleaning also included  the cleaning of the frames.

The reason that Spick & Span window cleaners were contracted for this cleaning work was because the contractor had to fit out the shop windows with vinyl advertising, therefore the client wanted to ensure that all the shop windows were cleaned first.

Spick & Span window cleaners were more than happy to carry out this task as part of the Knightsbridge window cleaner service they offer and the results of the cleaning made a huge difference to shop’s appearance.

In all the work took around 5 hours for 2 window cleaners to complete. Water-fed pole cleaning techniques were used for the window cleaning in most areas, however some of the regular height windows were used with an applicator pad and squeegee and a specialised window cleaning solution.
