Your first window clean in Wickford: what to expect

Here’s what a first visit looks like if you live in Wickford, from your request to the clean.

Short answer

I clean windows in Wickford, SS11 and SS12, using pure water from a water-fed pole for outside glass, and by hand for inside glass. You tell me about your home, I give you a quote, we agree a time and I come and do it. I explain what to expect before the first visit so nothing is a surprise.

Who am I?

I’m Blake, and Full View Window Cleaning is my window cleaning round covering Wickford and Rayleigh. I’d rather cover two towns well than a whole county thinly. About us has a bit more.

How does it start?

You send a request on the quote form. I ask for your name, postcode, which windows and a way to reply (address optional). You can put a mobile number or an email address into the one reply box. I reply to you there. Nothing is posted publicly.

What will the quote cover?

I’ll tell you what I’d do, which windows, and how often if you want a regular clean. If I need to ask about frames, access or anything unusual, I’ll ask before I quote. I won’t pad a quote with extras.

What happens on the day?

For an outside clean:

  1. I arrive and check access.
  2. I set up the pure water in the van and extend the pole.
  3. I brush and rinse each window, frame and sill.
  4. I leave the glass to dry. You may see it wet when I go, which is normal. Why windows look wet after a pure-water clean explains it.

You don’t need to be in. For inside cleans, someone does.

What do I need from you?

Open gates, a clear path and a note about anything fragile. What to do before the window cleaner comes has the short list.

What about the water?

I use pure water, which has the minerals taken out. That’s why the glass dries without marks. Is pure water window cleaning better? covers the detail, including where it isn’t better.

Which parts of Wickford do I cover?

I cover SS11 and SS12. If you’re just outside and not sure, put your postcode in the postcode checker on the Wickford page, and I’ll tell you honestly. I’m not going to promise somewhere I can’t get to reliably.

Will the first clean be perfect?

Mostly, but a first clean can show a few spots if old soap residue is in your frames. Spots after the first clean explains why. I’d rather you knew that than found out later.

Common questions

Do you offer a regular round in Wickford?

Yes, regular rounds or a one-off clean. Tell me which you’d like in the quote form. Outsides every 6 weeks. Insides, if you want them, every 12 weeks.

Can I see your reviews?

Not yet. There are no customer reviews to show, and I’d rather say that than invent any. When customers leave reviews, I’ll share them here.

Will you come on a set day?

I’ll tell you the day and roughly when to expect me, and I’ll message if anything changes. Ask me how I handle bad-weather days.

What if I’m not sure I want a regular clean?

Start with one clean. There’s no pressure to carry on, and I’ll say so up front.

What types of homes do you clean in Wickford?

Houses, bungalows and flats (flats have their own page), where I can reach the windows safely from the ground or from inside. I don’t clean shops, offices or other commercial buildings. That’s a choice: keeping to homes in two towns means I can do each job properly.

What if my road is just outside SS11 or SS12?

Tell me your postcode anyway. If I can reach you reliably, I’ll say so. If not, I’ll tell you honestly rather than take on a home I can’t look after properly.

Who will I deal with?

Me, Blake. I reply to your request and arrange your visits.

Do you clean bay windows and conservatories?

Bay windows, ask me when you book. Conservatory roofs need a look at access and safety first, so mention them on the form and I’ll tell you what I can do.
