Skylight & Rooflight Cleaning

Send photos showing the rooflights, the surrounding roof and access around the building. Some can be reached with suitable poles; others may need an access platform. The rooflight's position matters as much as its height. We assess the access before confirming which areas can be cleaned.

Access must be assessed first. Rooflights should be treated as fragile and must never be used as a walking or standing surface. A cleaning method may allow work from the ground or a suitable platform. Do not climb onto the roof to take photographs for an enquiry; pictures from a safe position are enough to start.

It can do. The coating uses daylight and rain to help break down and wash away some dirt, but that does not deal with every deposit or every location. Sheltered glazing may receive little rain. Tell us if the glass has a coating so the cleaning method can follow its care instructions.

They need their own care instructions. Polycarbonate can be damaged by unsuitable products or abrasive cleaning, so it should not automatically receive the same treatment as ordinary glass. Tell us the material or manufacturer if you know it. If you are unsure, send photographs so suitability can be assessed before quoting.

Only if removable dirt is causing the cloudiness. Moisture between the panes of a sealed glass unit cannot be cleaned from the outside, and surface damage is not the same as dirt. Photos can help us judge what needs a closer look, but cleaning cannot be promised to restore damaged glazing.

Internal cleaning can be considered, but it needs separate access planning. Tell us what is below the rooflights, including desks, stock, machinery or a stairwell, and whether the area can be cleared. An exterior cleaning quote should not be assumed to include the internal surfaces.

We can assess that as part of the enquiry. The machine must be suitable for the reach required and the access available around the building. If a platform is proposed, the arrangements and costs need to be included clearly in the quote before a date is agreed.

No. Start with the postcode, approximate number of rooflights and photographs. Rough dimensions help if you have them, but please do not take risks trying to measure a roof. Size, condition, material and access all affect the price. We will explain if a site visit or further information is needed.

Yes, we can assess them together and confirm whether the work suits a combined visit. List the rooflights and windows you want included, plus any internal surfaces. We also consider roof glazing at homes, so you can enquire whether you manage a commercial building or need help at a residential property.
