What if my property has unreachable windows?

Platinum Window Cleaning us the latest state of the art technology allowing us to safely clean windows up to 63 feet safely from the ground level, we also have PASMA and IPAF trained operatives and access equipment can be hired if necessary. If for any reason your window cannot be reached/cleaned, we will advise you this in the initial quote.

Why are my windows left wet and not dried off?

We use purified water to clean your windows, meaning all the trace elements contained in the tap water, known as Total Dissolved Solids or TDS, have been removed using our state of the are systems. Pure water attracts dirt like a magnet, as the water wants to return back to its conventional state. So, when the windows and frames have been washed and rinsed with Pure water, no residue or dirt is left behind and the water dries naturally without leaving streaks or major spotting. (please do not try and dry the windows with cloths or any household item as this will affect the quality of the finish)

Do You clean internal windows?

Yes, this must be pre-booked via our office as a one-off additional charge or scheduled for repeat cleaning.

How do I pay for my service?

Any new customers being added to our existing rounds must sign up for GOCARDLESS, our preferred method of payment.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. If there are any problems with our workmanship, please notify our office within 24 hours of your clean and we will send a member of staff to re-clean your windows within 5 days of you notifying us. 

Can I have a refund?

We do not offer refunds, instead we offer a quality guarantee meaning your property will be re-cleaned until you are happy with our service.

Will cleaning my solar panels cause damage to them?

Not if the correct method of cleaning is used and is carried out by trained operative, furthermore, we are fully insured in the case of any accidental damage.

Why is my neighbour/family member/friend's price different from mine?

Whilst we cannot comment on other client’s prices, there are various factors that go into pricing including size of the property, difficulty of the clean, frequency of the clean, when they signed up to the service, as a price increase may be due. Due to expansion we constantly take over smaller business’s customers, in doing so we take on any under-priced properties onto our books, we then increase the prices in due course accordingly, the under-priced properties are the reason the other business could not survive.

What if I don’t unlock my gate or your operatives can’t get access to my back garden for whatever reason?

We will clean the front of your property only and you will receive notification of this and be charged accordingly, not the full price. 

What time will you arrive? 

We don't offer appointments or give times of arrival for regular window cleaning. Just leave your gate unlocked for the day. We clean windows from 7.30am to 7.00pm.

My windows have been cleaned earlier or later than expected

Holidays, sick leave and extreme weather can affect our schedule. If your second window clean is early it's because we have positioned you in the correct position on our rounds. Also, at the end of each year we optimise our rounds so your last clean of the year or your first clean of the new year may be early or later than usual. Please allow some flexibility.

Will the same window cleaner come each time?

No, Due to holidays, sick leave, paternity leave and round optimisation it is not always possible to have the same window cleaner on each visit. We pride ourselves on offering a regular service, to do this anyone of our window cleaners might attend. All our window cleaners are fully uniformed making the easy to identify

My windows are still dirty or a window has been missed, is this covered by your quality guarantee?
