Access methods
Rope access or a cradle, by certified operators with third-party insurance. A ladder against a villa elevation above the first floor is not an acceptable method and no reputable contractor will offer it.

ServicesFacade and High-Level Glass Cleaning
Anything above ground level stops being a cleaning decision and becomes an access and permitting one.
Permits and documentation
Building permission, a method statement and a risk assessment are issued before mobilising. In managed towers the building has its own contractor process, and that takes time to clear.
Coastal exposure
Salt-laden air bonds to glass, metalwork and stone and hardens the longer it is left. On a seafront elevation the interval between cleans matters more than the method used.
Composite panels
Aluminium composite cladding is cleaned to the panel manufacturer's chemistry. The wrong product marks it permanently and the marks are visible from the street.
Everything we do is scoped against luxury deep cleaning, priced after an inspection and fixed in writing before any work begins.
Questions
Answered plainly.
From a balcony or safely reachable point, yes. Beyond that it is rope access or a cradle, quoted separately.
Typically two to four times a year depending on exposure, with seafront elevations at the higher end.
Work is scheduled around heat and wind limits. Access work stops in high wind regardless of the schedule.

An inspection, a written scope and a price that holds. We will also tell you when the job does not need us.
