Does window cleaning always require ladders?
No. HSE says work at height should be avoided where reasonably practicable and gives water-fed poles or cleaning from inside as examples. The correct method still depends on a site-specific assessment.
Are frames and sills automatically included?
No. Glass, frames, sills, doors and conservatory sections should be listed separately so the included areas are clear.
Can windows be cleaned in any weather?
The decision depends on weather, ground conditions, equipment and the specific task. Unsafe conditions may mean the work needs to be rearranged.
How often should windows be cleaned?
There is no universal interval. Exposure, building use, nearby roads or trees, access, budget and the desired appearance all affect the conversation.
How are upper windows reached?
HSE guidance says work at height should be avoided where reasonably practicable. The building, ground, weather and task determine whether water-fed poles, internal access or another suitable method is used.
