Northern Beaches
Glass balustrade cleaning on the Northern Beaches
Glass balustrades on Northern Beaches balconies and decks take salt on both faces, and on cliff-top homes from North Curl Curl to Bilgola the outer face often hangs over a long drop. We clean the inside face from the balcony and reach the outer face from below with the pole wherever the slope allows.
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.
Balustrades facing the ocean and Pittwater 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.
On hillside homes the outer face of the glass can sit a full storey above the garden. We reach it from below with the pole where the ground allows.
How often on the Northern Beaches
For most homes on the Northern Beaches, glass balustrade cleaning is worth doing every 2 to 3 months. Salt dries onto both faces of the glass within weeks.
What affects the quote
- Leaves in base channels.
- Salt crust on both faces.
- Reaching the outer face from below on a slope.

Our method
How we handle glass balustrades
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Plan the 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.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Wash both sides
Soft brush and pure water on each face, working from the top rail down.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.

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 provided a reliable and professional property maintenance. Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication. Highly recommend!
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.

FAQs
Glass balustrades on the Northern Beaches: questions
Straight answers before you book. Can't see yours? Call Nathan on 0416 007 745.
Still have a question?
Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
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.
Is your method safe for coated glass?
Yes. Pure water and a soft brush don't harm coatings. We don't use blades on balustrades.
Do you cover the whole Northern Beaches?
Yes, from Manly and Clontarf to Palm Beach and out to Duffys Forest and Terrey Hills.
Is sand in my sliding door tracks a problem?
Yes. It wears the rollers and scratches the frame. We vacuum and scrub tracks in every full clean.
