Hi
I'm a potential customer - but not sure if this is a window cleaner job or a roofer job. I have 2 quite smallish roof windows in a pitched tile roof which is on a small extension on a bungalow. The roof windows cannot be seen at all from ground level outside the building. The windows are old top-hung style windows so cannot be rotated for cleaning from inside. Access cannot be got to the windows from the neighbouring property due to them having built up to the boundary. The only way to access these windows for cleaning is from climbing onto the roof.
I am not comfortable with doing this myself and would not expect a window cleaner to be either - or would they? Most of the window cleaning adverts I see about 'impossible to reach' windows involve the use of huge long poles - which in this case would be no good as the user would not be able to see the windows nor bend the pole across the roof from the ground. The pole would need to go up then across.
I have emailed a few local companies but none have replied.
I'm not sure if window cleaners do this type of clean or if I should be contacting a roofer. The job itself, with me supplying the ladder and cleaning kit would take someone probably less than 10 mins actual cleaning. To be clear (no pun intended) it is the windows and not the roof I need to clean.
Any advice would be appreciated including what to expect to pay.
many thanks
