Window Cleaner Fife


One household service most will be familiar with is window cleaning services. For hundreds of years it a familiar sight of a man up a ladder with a bucket of soapy water cleaning windows. But times have moved on and now most have water fed pole systems in their van using purified water.

Monthly services for both residential and commercial customers whatever they prefer. With easy Gocardless payments and our guarantee we have quickly developed a good reputation across trades websites such as Checkatrade and Bark so you can rest assured that you will have the best service. To book a window cleaner today just visit our site and after a short quote and sign up your ready to go. Licensed and Insured.

Cladding cleaning service

Our uPVC cleaning service can take away the years of built up grime caused by traffic and bring your home back to looking its best. When cleaning Fascia and soffits there are two methods depending on how dirty the uPVC is.

Our first option is using pure water only. We apply our pure water using a telescopic brush. The combination of brush head and the water being pumped through disrupts the dirt and carries it away leaving bright clean cladding.

On some occasions a cleaning fluid is needed to strip away the traffic film that has built up over the years. For this we start the same as option one but after we have wet the area and removed the top layer we spray the chemicals and leave them for ten to fifteen minutes to let them work. Then we simply brush and rinse.

One of the main advantages of the reach and wash system is its ability to handle jobs that would be difficult or dangerous by ladder. With the extendable poles and spotless water we can easily clean hard to reach areas to our usual high standards without the risk of injury or the use of things like conservatory roof ladders.

Conservatories can be a great addition to your home adding value and somewhere to hide from the weather in Fife. Over time the roof panels can become dirty blocking light and generally not looking great. Over time this can affect your seals and lead to leaks.

Much like our procedures for soffit cleaning the approach to cleaning your conservatory roof comes down to the extent of the build up of grime or moss. Firstly we would use the combination of our water and facelift pole to clean the panels as much as possible before applying chemicals.

To finish we do a double clean on the conservatory windows to rinse away any debris or chemicals from the roof for a perfect finish and another five star review.

Gutter Cleaning

Local gutter cleaning in Dunfermline and across Fife. Depending on access we may use ladders where downpipes are inspected close up and any blockages removed by hand. This also gives the opportunity to carry out any gutter repairs.

As gutter specialists we can carry out most repairs and routine maintenance clearances on residential or commercial properties.

Depending on the positioning some gutters can be accessed from either side of the conservatory with an extendible pole which is pulled along the gutter pulling any blockages with it.

Where ladders are not an option we use our gutter vac system, with up to a 40ft reach it can easily remove any blockages leaving sparkling gutters. Contact the gutter guys in fife today for a no obligation quote..

Pure Water Window Cleaning

Purified Water Window Cleaner Dunfermline

Pure Water Window Cleaning

What is water-fed pole window cleaning?

Water-fed pole Window cleaning has been around for over a decade and is still evolving with new techniques and equipment to further improve the system. 

Water-fed pole Window Cleaning uses extendable poles made from fiberglass or carbon fiber most commonly with an internal hose supplying the water to the jets on the brush head. This hose can be fitted with a valve which stops the flow of water. This can be very useful especially when working around open windows. These extendable poles provide easy access to windows above the ground floor and also make it possible to clean windows that would be difficult to reach traditionally due to building/ garden layouts.

The development of water-fed pole window cleaning has almost completely removed the need to work from height using ladders. Providing the ability to reach windows twenty to sixty meters from the ground safely and still guarantee a perfect finish after each clean has largely helped the success of this new method.

As a professional window cleaning service, we are licensed by Fife Council and fully insured so our customers can rest assured their property is in safe hands. Operating both commercial window cleaning and residential our team of professional window cleaners are exterior cleaning specialists.

Purified water is pumped through the internal hose of the pole and through the jets in the brush head. Pure water is used to clean the window, frames, and sills leaving a smear and streak-free clean every time without the need to wipe the window after cleaning.

How does water fed pole cleaning actually work

The key to success with water-fed pole window cleaning comes down to two things. 


1. Cleaning method

2. Water quality 


Water that has been purified removing any minerals or impurities prior to use. In Dunfermline, we are quite lucky in that our water is around 35 - 36 parts per million from the tap meaning a single filtering vessel should provide pure water. The water is then either used straight from the tap - window or into a reach and wash system where it is kept until used.

The pure water is pumped through the pole onto the glass while the brush head agitates and disrupts the dirt. The pure water then carries the dirt away followed by the most important part a pure water rinse. This ensures any dirt or other impurities are carried off the glass leaving nothing behind.

What are the Advantages of water fed pole window cleaning

Pure Water Window Cleaning


Safe Stringent Work at Height [2005]

The Health and Safety Executive has directed that work such as window cleaning should be carried out from ground level wherever possible. 

Water-fed pole window cleaning is now the H.S.E recommended method of safe working for carrying out window cleaning and they are keen to see it widely adopted within the industry to reduce injuries and deaths. 

No chemicals needed The water-fed pole window cleaning system only uses pure water This system combining the purified water with specially designed brush heads leaves a crystal clear finish when dry. Unlike traditional Window cleaning where soap is applied by an applicator and then removed with a squeegee, this method leaves nothing behind on the glass so that windows stay cleaner longer.

Environmentally Friendly

As there is no soap or other potentially harmful cleaning agents being used window cleaners and customers are noticing the benefits to the environment.

Customer privacy

As most work is carried out from ground level the days of a window cleaner appearing unexpectedly at your bedroom window are becoming a thing of the past. Work can be carried out with little or no impact on the customer.

Starting a Window Cleaning Round in Fife

Starting a window cleaning round


Caledonia Window Cleaning


The Idea

For many, the thought of being self-employed and your own boss can be quite appealing. Whether you have spent time working in an office environment and are looking for a change of scenery or you just haven't found where you fit in starting your own Window Cleaning round could be the answer.

Getting started

The first thing you will want to do is learn the trade. Window cleaning is often thought of as quite simple and something anyone can do however if you are serious about setting out your own business and "being your own boss" then it all starts with planning. The key to building a successful round is quality workmanship and becoming a professional window cleaner. 

Setting and maintaining high standards will give you greater chances of return custom, free advertising through word of mouth and customer reviews. It's about deciding if you want to be a boss or somebody with a job. Either is fine you just need to find what works best for you.

If you have decided to go ahead the first thing is to establish customer demand. Speak with friends, family, colleagues and ask can I clean your windows. Establish the areas you would like to cover and decide how you would like to advertise.

Leaflets are a good old-fashioned method but conversion rates from leaflets to actual customers are very low. This can be boosted a little by following up on leaflets with door-to-door canvassing. This is where you can sell yourself and your service.

A simple knock at the door "hello I'm Craig we put a leaflet through your door the other day would you like a quote for your windows to be cleaned on a monthly basis?" "We are licensed to operate by Fife Council and are Fully insured". Door-to-door canvassing can be daunting and you should expect a lot of rejection but if you are ready for it just keep your chin up and onto the next one.

Social media is a great way of engaging with customers. You can easily set up a business page on Facebook where you can add pictures, videos, and other content to showcase your work and engage with your target audience. Twitter and Instagram are other platforms that can increase your audience as can Google Business. Most platforms now offer "boosted posts" where in exchange for a fee the platforms will push your content into potential customer's handsets and other devices.

Methods of Window Cleaning

When you have done your research you should decide what method you will use. Personally, I find both methods effective and offer them at customers preference.

Traditional Window Cleaning can be a good way to start out due to lower initial costs and it is always a valuable skill to learn as it will enable you to offer internal cleaning as an add-on service.

If you would rather start out with a water-fed pole system you can easily find a setup to fit your budget. Some people start out with a simple backpack or trolley system or you can opt for a larger system such as a van mounted system.

Twenty litres will clean an average of one domestic house depending on how efficient you are in your technique and how dirty the glass is will depend if you use more or less water.

With your delivery method sorted all you need is a way to purify your water. Water Fed Pole Window Cleaning is done using Purified water. The brush disrupts and lifts dirt from the glass and the pure water absorbs it and carried it away.

This technique followed by a Pure water rinse is what leaves the crystal clear finish. Depending on the area you live in will depend on the purification method.

In other areas where the impurity level is higher, a reverse osmosis system can be required to bring the p.p.m down to suitable levels.
