Pure water for Rayleigh’s hard water
Essex & Suffolk Water’s 2026 report for its Rayleigh supply zone says "The water in your area is hard", with a 12-month average of 272.99 mg/l of calcium carbonate, or 19 degrees Clarke. (Essex & Suffolk Water) Hard water carries more minerals, and when tap water dries on glass, those minerals stay behind as white spots.
That’s the reason I use pure water outside. The system in my van takes the minerals out before the water reaches your windows, so there’s nothing left to dry onto the glass. I brush and rinse the glass, frames and sills with it, then leave it to dry clear.
The water company’s report doesn’t list streets, so check your own postcode with them if you want to know your zone. Either way, pure water means the hardness of your tap water doesn’t end up on your glass.
Rayleigh homes
From the conservation area to the 1990s estates
Rayleigh expanded considerably in the 1950s, and many new housing estates were built on greenfield land in the 1990s. (Wikipedia) The town also has a conservation area around Holy Trinity church, the High Street, Church Street and Bellingham Lane, designated in 1969. (Rochford District Council)
So frames vary: newer uPVC on the estates, and older timber, painted frames or early uPVC on older streets. uPVC is simple for a brush and pure water. Timber with cracked paint or an oil or varnish finish needs more care, so please tell me what you have.
I’ll tell you honestly if a mark is weathering, yellowing or a scratch that cleaning won’t shift.

FAQs
Outside window cleaning in Rayleigh: questions
Do you cover all of Rayleigh?
I cover the SS6 postcode district. Put your postcode in the quote form and it will tell you straight away whether you’re on my round.
Does Rayleigh’s hard water affect my windows?
Only if tap water dries on the glass, from a hose or a sprinkler for example. Pure water has the minerals taken out, so it dries clear.
How often do you clean outside windows in Rayleigh?
Every 6 weeks on my round, or once if you prefer.
Do I need to be in?
Not for outsides, as long as I can reach every window. For insides, yes, or someone who can let me in.
Can you clean timber frames?
Usually, yes. Tell me first if the paint is cracked or the wood is oiled or varnished, so I can take care.
Do you clean homes in the conservation area?
Yes, if they’re in SS6 and I can reach the windows safely. Older frames may need more care, and I’ll ask about them.
What affects the quote?
How many windows, how many storeys, access, and how dirty they are.
Why do my windows look wet when you leave?
Pure water dries without marks, so I leave it to dry rather than wiping.
