Skylight cleaning for Balgowlah Heights homes

Balgowlah Heights is in the Northern Beaches Council area, about 30 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Big family homes on sloping blocks, bordered by the national park at Dobroyd Head. Lovely to live in, and a constant fight with damp shade and bush debris. Balgowlah Heights backs onto Sydney Harbour National Park, with walking tracks down to Forty Baskets and Reef Beach.

Salt from Middle Harbour settles on skylight glass where the rain doesn't reach, and the film builds up faster than on vertical windows.

Glass roofs over kitchens, atriums and outdoor rooms are a feature of many homes here. Clean, they make the room; dirty, everyone notices.

On steep blocks the roofline can be a long way above the ground on the downhill side. We plan the reach from the uphill side where possible.

Sydney Harbour National Park keeps the Heights shaded and damp, which leaves a grey film on the south and west-facing glass. We reach the downhill windows with the pole from the terraces below, and clean deck balustrades on both faces where the slope allows.

Glass in Balgowlah Heights homes

Balgowlah Heights homes step down the slope towards Middle Harbour from streets like Beatrice Street and Cutler Road, with views across to Clontarf and The Spit. They are generous two and three storey houses with large decks and pools set into the hillside, so there is a lot of glass facing the water and a lot of it is high above the garden.
