Glass balustrade cleaning for Balgowlah homes

Balgowlah is in the Northern Beaches Council area, about 30 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Balgowlah is a suburb of family homes on the ridge above North Harbour, with Federation and inter-war houses mixed with new builds.

Balustrades facing North Harbour catch the salt first and hold it on both faces. Left for a season, it dries into a crust that dulls the view you built the balcony for.

Older homes sometimes have new glass balustrades on restored verandahs. We clean the glass without wetting the timber decking and posts more than we need to.

Under trees the glass collects sap, leaf stains and bird droppings, and the base channel fills with leaves that hold water against the bottom edge.

Renovated Balgowlah homes often pair original timber or steel windows with new aluminium sliders in the extension. We clean the old windows by hand and the new glass with pure water, so neither side of the house ends up looking cleaner than the other.

How often in Balgowlah

For most Balgowlah homes, glass balustrade cleaning is worth doing every 2 to 3 months. Salt dries onto both faces of the glass within weeks.

Glass in Balgowlah homes

Balgowlah sits on the ridge above North Harbour, with brick bungalows, weatherboard cottages and larger renovated homes either side of Sydney Road, from Woodland Street to the edge of Balgowlah Heights. Big gardens mean big trees, and the harbour side catches salt on the afternoon breeze, so the glass collects a mix of pollen and fine salt.

Our method

How we handle glass balustrades

Washing a hedge-lined front entry
Google review, Lou
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.

Step 01 of 04

Plan the reach

We work out which faces are reached from the balcony and which from below, and what is out of safe reach.

He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.

Step 02 of 04

Clean the fittings

Spigots, standoffs and channels are brushed and rinsed first, so grit doesn't run down the clean glass.

Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.

How often should glass balustrade cleaning be done in Balgowlah?

For most Balgowlah homes, every 2 to 3 months. Salt dries onto both faces of the glass within weeks.

Do you offer glass balustrade cleaning across Balgowlah?

Yes. Balgowlah is about 30 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights, and we also work in Balgowlah Heights and Seaforth nearby.

Do you clean older timber windows in Balgowlah cottages?

Yes, by hand and gently. Original sashes and putty don't like a lot of water, so we use a damp cloth and squeegee.

Does the harbour breeze really affect Balgowlah windows?

On the North Harbour side, yes. A light salt film builds on west-facing glass, and it shows most in the afternoon sun.

Do you clean the stainless fittings?

Yes. Spigots, standoffs and channels are cleaned with the glass, because salt in them stains the glass.

How often should balustrades be cleaned?

Every two to three months on an ocean-facing balcony, and every three to six months elsewhere.

Can you remove white spots from the glass?

Fresh ones, yes. Old mineral spots may need a remover, and etched spots can't be fully removed.
