Window Cleaning in Bishan New Town

Water-fed poles handle most windows up to 3-4 storeys from the ground. Beyond that, or over conservatories and extensions where ladders can't stand, you're into specialist access — longer poles, ladders with standoffs, or (for tower blocks) rope access, which is commercial-grade work priced accordingly. Point out awkward windows when getting a quote, not when the cleaner arrives.

Ordinary cleaning won't remove etched mineral staining from sprinklers, leaking gutters or years of run-off — it needs dedicated hard-water removal products or fine polishing, priced as a restoration add-on per pane. Test one window first: if staining has etched into the glass, no chemical fixes it fully. Fix the water source (gutter, sprinkler aim) or the stains return.

For exterior-only cleans, no — most regular rounds run with the customer out, with payment by app or transfer. Unlock side gates and confine pets before the visit. Interior cleans obviously need access; many customers book inside-and-out once or twice a year and exterior-only in between.

No — rain itself is fairly clean; the spots you see after rain come from dirt already sitting on the glass. Pure-water-cleaned windows usually stay clear through rain, which is why professional rounds run all year. Most round cleaners offer a re-clean if windows genuinely spot within a day or two of the visit — ask about the policy.

First cleans remove accumulated grime, spider webs, and frame dirt that a maintained round never faces — often double the time of a maintenance visit. Expect a first-clean price of 1.5-2x the recurring rate, then the cheaper round price from visit two. This is standard and honest; a cleaner who quotes one flat price forever is either overcharging your round or under-delivering your first clean.

HDB interior window cleaning starts around S$80-$180 depending on flat size; full reachable inside-and-out service runs S$180-$290; condos and landed homes with more glass run S$280-$480. Many households get windows done as part of a deep-cleaning package instead of standalone.

Only the faces reachable safely from inside (by opening panes) or from common corridors. No legitimate cleaner will climb or lean out — it's dangerous and treated seriously by authorities. For full exterior glass on high floors, the only route is building-managed facade cleaning via rope-access contractors.
