Skylight cleaning in Fairlight

Skylight cleaning for Fairlight homes

Fairlight is in the Northern Beaches Council area, about 30 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Fairlight runs down to the harbour between Manly and Balgowlah, so most homes face the water and sit on a slope.

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

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.

Shared skylights and atrium glass in apartment buildings are cleaned with the building manager's access and approval.

Most properties have stairs from the street, so we carry the gear down and clean from the top of the block to the bottom. Apartment glass in the inter-war blocks is cleaned from inside and the balconies, with timber frames handled gently.

How often in Fairlight

For most Fairlight homes, skylight cleaning is worth doing every 4 to 6 months. Salt settles on sloping glass that rain doesn't rinse.

Glass in Fairlight homes

Fairlight runs down to the harbour between Manly and Balgowlah, with the Manly to Spit walk passing Fairlight Beach and its rock pool. Homes are stacked on the hill above Lauderdale Avenue and Margaret Street: Federation cottages, inter-war apartment blocks and new glass houses that have replaced older ones, nearly all facing the water.
