Bordesley Green Window Cleaning for Terraces, Blocks and Practices
Window cleaning in Bordesley Green is planned around parked vehicles. The terraces stand close to the pavement with no path or garden in front of them, and from mid-morning the kerb outside is full of parked cars. Water goes up a pole a long way from wherever the van is standing, which is what makes regular cleaning viable on roads like these, and it means your frontage gets done without us ever needing the kerb outside your own door.
The rest of the work is glass nobody lives behind. The post-war blocks have entrance screens, stairwell windows and landing glass that get handled every day and are cleaned for the freeholder or the managing agent. Around the hospital there are practice, pharmacy and office frontages, along with the internal glazed doors and partitions inside them, which mark at hand height far faster than anything outside does.

Traffic bloom, handled block glass and practice frontages
Three separate problems sit under one service here. Terrace frontages take the grey bloom that heavy traffic leaves, and the roads feeding Heartlands carry a great deal of it, and there is no path, hedge or set back holding any of it off the glass. Communal block glass has a different cause entirely: it is touched, pushed and leaned on by every resident and visitor going through, so the marking is at hand and shoulder height rather than spread evenly. Commercial frontages matter for a different reason: a practice with hazy glass and a smeared entrance door tells a patient something before they reach reception. Rear elevations behind these terraces are reachable only through a shared entry, which is often gated.
- Terrace frontages standing on the pavement with no garden or path to hold road grime back from the glass
- Approach roads to Heartlands carrying constant traffic, so front elevations dull noticeably faster than rear ones
- Entrance screens, stairwell and landing glass in the post-war blocks, marked at hand height by everyone passing through
- Practice, pharmacy and office frontages plus internal glazed doors and partitions, where fingermarks show against a lit interior
- Shared entries as the only route to the rear of a terrace, frequently gated or blocked with bins
Pure water from wherever the van can stop
Everything outside is done from ground level with deionised water fed up a pole, which suits streets where a ladder would mean standing in a live footway or leaning on a frontage that sits on it. Frames, cills and the door surround are brushed by the pole, since that is where road grime actually collects on a house facing a busy route, and there is no detergent and no squeegee on the outside glass. Communal blocks are worked from outside where the elevation allows and from the landing where it does not, by arrangement with the agent. Internal partition and door glass in commercial premises is done separately, with the right cloths, before opening.
- Pole-fed deionised water from the footway, with nothing resting against a frontage or blocking people walking past
- Cills, frames and door surrounds brushed by the pole, which on a road into the hospital is where the grime has settled
- Rear elevations included only where the shared entry is genuinely passable, and excluded openly in the quote when it is not
- Internal glazed doors and partitions in practices and offices cleaned before opening, not while a waiting room is filling

Kerbside visits, block glass and practice frontages
We cover the terraces either side of Bordesley Green Road, out towards Adderley Park station, on scheduled days, cleaning a long line of frontages from each stop. Block work is scheduled with the managing agent so the entrance can be left accessible without being propped open unattended. Commercial frontages are done early, before clinics and practices start seeing people.
Openings, rear access and first-visit film in B9
Price follows how many openings there are and what type they are, not floor area, and there is not a great deal of glass on one of these terraces, so a front-only clean costs very little. Two factors move it. First, whether the rear is in scope, which comes down to the entry being passable. Second, how long the frontage has been left, because glass facing a hospital route wants a second pass on the first visit. Blocks are quoted per visit for the whole building. Commercial frontages are priced on width, frequency and whether internal glass is in scope.
Four to six weeks on the Heartlands routes, monthly in the blocks
Four to six weeks is the right interval for anything facing a main route into Heartlands, because that is how quickly the glass dulls again. Six to eight weeks is fine for houses set a few streets back. Communal entrance screens and stairwell glass want monthly, since the marking is from handling rather than weather. Practice and office frontages usually run fortnightly, with internal door glass done weekly where the waiting area is busy.
Overall satisfied with service this company has provided leaving windows & guttering clean.
Excellent job, highly recommended.
Nice man great at what he does

Frequently asked questions
No. We assume it. The kerb along these streets is full through the working day, and the pole reaches comfortably from wherever we can stop, usually several doors away. On a terrace we clean a long run of frontages from one position. You do not need to arrange anything.
Yes, the managing agent or the freeholder is who books it, because the entrance screens, stairwell windows and landing glass are communal parts. An individual leaseholder cannot commission that work, though you can book us for your own flat. Send us the managing agent name and we will quote the building as one job.
Yes, and in a practice it is often the internal glass that matters more. Glazed doors, screens and partitions collect fingermarks at push height and they show badly against a lit waiting area. We do that before you open, using separate cloths from the outside work, and we can include it in a fortnightly or weekly visit instead of treating it as an occasional extra.
Yes, and it is a sensible purchase here. The front elevation faces the traffic, does the dulling and is the one anybody looks at. We price it as a job in its own right, and never quote for a whole property and then do only the half we can reach. If the entry becomes usable later, tell us and we will add the rear from the next visit.
No. Rain on its own does not undo a pole clean, because the glass is left with nothing on it for rain to run through. What does mark glass again quickly on these streets is traffic, which is why we suggest a four to six week interval on the main routes, because a single clean will not hold for a season.
