Balaclava is a small, apartment-heavy pocket where the glass comes in two shapes: narrow Victorian terrace windows with lots of small panes off Inkerman Street, and larger flat and shopfront glass along Carlisle Street. The mains water here is very soft, so mineral spotting isn’t the issue. What you get instead is street-level grime: traffic and tram film off the Carlisle Street corridor, plus plane-tree and palm litter on the lower windows and screens.
We’re set up for exactly that split, and for the frames that come with it. Many of the older terraces have painted timber window frames that need a gentle hand around the putty, while the flats and newer infill run aluminium framing that cleans up differently. Our crew works with both, lifting that street film top to bottom and leaving the glass clear.
Whichever your property throws at us, we’ll get you a price the same day. For a free quote on your Balaclava property, call (03) 7073 2133.
Most of our Balaclava work is residential window cleaning, with a steady commercial side alongside it. On the commercial front we can handle properties such as the café and shopfront glass along Carlisle Street and the walk-up apartment blocks off it. The crew standards are the same on both; it’s the scheduling that changes.
On a typical home, here’s what we cover:
The lower sashes and screens near the Carlisle Street corridor pick up the most film, so that’s where the crew spends the most time. On how long a clean lasts, we’re honest: “Windows close to the beach, a highway or construction get dirty faster from salt and dust — there’s not much you can do to slow that down. If you want them consistently clean, a recurring service is the best option.”
This is exterior window cleaning for low and mid-rise body-corporate and owners-corporation buildings. The kinds of properties we can serve include:
We coordinate with building managers so residents are notified and can close their windows, then work section by section from the top down to ground level. After-hours service is available on request when a daytime clean would get in the way of the business or the residents.
A few things show up again and again in what our customers tell us. They’re the standards we hold on every job.
Call us today and we’ll usually have your quote back to you the same day, often within the hour. We assess most properties remotely so you’re not left waiting around for a price, and you can get on with your day.
We’re one of the most-reviewed and highest-rated exterior cleaning companies in the area, with a consistent five-star rating we’ve worked hard to earn. Those reviews come from real Balaclava-area jobs, and they’re the first place we’d point a new customer.
From your first estimate request to the final rinse, we keep communication clear at every step; it’s the part of the job we care about most, alongside the clean itself. You always know who’s coming, when, and what the price covers.
Pricing depends on the size of the property, the window count and types, condition and access.
There’s a minimum charge on smaller jobs, and every price is set from a proper look at what your windows need.
A few things worth knowing on price:
We offer recurring exterior window cleaning on two cadences, so your glass stays consistently clean without you having to think about it. It’s the simplest way to keep on top of the street film that settles back on Balaclava windows between cleans.
From the first quote to the final rinse, we back our work with a money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy, we’ll come back and put it right — and if you’re still not satisfied, we’ll refund your deposit and won’t charge you.
If it rains within seven days of us cleaning your exterior windows and it spots them up, we’ll come back and re-clean them free of charge. This one applies to recurring exterior window members.
We reply to online enquiries within a few minutes during business hours, or take your call directly. Our phones are answered Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.
We ask about the property, the window count and types, and any extras like French panes or screens, so we get a clear picture of what the job actually needs.
We assess most properties from aerial and street imagery or real-estate listing photos, or from photos you send us, and an in-person visit is free locally if you’d rather we came out.
A 50% deposit, paid online with no card fees, books the job at your preferred time. You’ll get a booking confirmation, then a reminder 24 hours before we arrive.
The crew sets up the water-fed pole system and cleans the exterior glass with pure water, working top-down and section by section. Interiors are cleaned by hand, and the frames are scrubbed as we go. On the older terraces off Inkerman Street, the crew takes extra care around the soft putty lines on the original painted-timber frames.
We self-check the work, then walk you through the finished job before we leave (a video walkthrough if you’re not home). A day or so later we call to confirm you’re happy and, if you are, ask whether you’d leave us a Google review.
Balaclava is a small, tightly-built inner suburb, barely a square kilometre, where a café-and-shopfront strip runs straight through the middle of the residential streets. That mix is part of what makes the place what it is, and we treat every property here the same way we’d treat one on our own street.
The areas we work most are the period terraces off Inkerman Street and the walk-up flats and shopfronts along the Carlisle Street strip.
From the small-paned terraces off Inkerman Street to the flats and shopfronts along Carlisle Street, we know the glass this suburb throws at us and how to get it clear. A free quote comes back fast, the same day during business hours and usually within the hour. Call (03) 7073 2133 and we’ll get a price back to you and book it in at a time that suits.
