Window Cleaning in Leichhardt

Most older houses here stand shoulder to shoulder. The Excelsior streets are relatively narrow, with buildings set close along a unified building line, and a two-storey front leaves little room to place a ladder safely. Many facades also carry glazed tiles, Art Deco brickwork and pressed plaster mouldings, and council's heritage guidance asks owners to keep original plaster and its mouldings.

Exposure changes across the suburb. Homes and businesses near busy roads such as Parramatta Road and the City West Link can pick up grime from passing traffic on glass and sills, while windows under street trees gather pollen, dust and spent flowers, such as those from the crepe myrtles on Carlisle Street. Purified water lifts both and dries spot-free without any detergent.

Nearly three in ten Leichhardt dwellings were flats or apartments at the 2021 Census. Fixed panes and upper-floor windows on those buildings are often hard to clean properly from inside, and a pole worked from the ground or a common courtyard can reach many of them without anyone leaning out.

Then there is Norton Street, Leichhardt's main commercial street and known across Sydney as Little Italy, along with the commercial frontages on Parramatta Road. Shopfront glass there is the first thing a passing customer sees, and we clean commercial premises as well as homes.

Around four in ten Leichhardt dwellings were rented at the 2021 Census, so plenty of windows here need attention ahead of a new tenancy, a routine inspection or a sale. Clean glass, frames and sills photograph better and make a stronger first impression at an open home, and the before-and-after photos give a landlord or agent a record of the work.

Working from the ground also protects the building. Nothing leans on decorative plaster, glazed tiles or old window joinery, and no ladder feet end up in a small front garden or on a tiled path. On a heritage facade that is a real advantage over the ladder-and-squeegee approach.

For businesses on Norton Street and Parramatta Road, clean glass is part of the shopfront itself. Displays read clearly from the footpath, and interior glass can be added on request so both sides of the window are done in one visit.

Purified water also means no detergent residue is left on glass, frames or sills. Our team is fully insured, with $10 million public liability cover.
