What Is Involved in Professional Window Cleaning?
Window cleaning is a professional service that uses specialised tools, techniques, and solutions to make sure windows are kept clean inside and out. This includes removing dirt, grime, water spots, fingerprints, bird droppings, cobwebs, and other debris from glass panes both inside and outside of buildings. The goal of window cleaning is to make sure windows are free of smudges or streaks so that they can remain as transparent as possible while still maintaining their structural integrity.
Benefits of Professional Window Cleaning Services
Hiring professional window cleaning services can save you time and money while ensuring the job is done correctly. Professionals use special tools such as extension poles with squeegees attached at the end so that they can reach the topmost part of windows without having to use ladders or scaffolding. They also have access to specialised solutions designed specifically for cleaning glass surfaces which helps reduce streaks or smudges left behind after the job is completed.

Advantages of the Reach & Wash System
The innovative Reach and Wash system from the Happy Window Cleaning Company takes window washing to a whole new level! This system works by using pure water, along with a brush on a pole, to gently lift away dirt from windows without any harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. Not only is this window cleaning method efficient and effective, but it also produces outstanding results with no streaking or smearing.
Our Reach & Wash system allows us to reach up to 80ft into the air without needing any ladders or scaffolding (unless safety regulations require one). This system ensures maximum performance while still remaining safe since no one needs to be high up when it’s being operated – perfect for those hard-to-reach places like skylights!
Plus, it leaves no streaks or watermarks behind due to its powerful yet gentle soft wash brushes. These gently but effectively remove dirt from large surfaces such as conservatory roofs without damaging them in any way!

At Happy Window Cleaning Company, we understand that our customers may not always be able to attend the window cleaning appointment. Rest assured, no presence is required!
We’re expertly trained and highly experienced in cleaning windows and will take care of everything for you. However, if you have any additional instructions or would prefer to be present for any reason, please just let us know in advance. We’ll do our best to accommodate whatever makes your window cleaning experience the most convenient for you!
Why Does It Appear that the Glass Is Still Wet?
At the Happy Window Cleaning Company, we understand that a pristine view is paramount. That’s why we are committed to using the best techniques during window cleaning. We use the latest technology – pure filtered and deionized water combined with soft brushes on a carbon fiber telescopic pole – ensuring your windows are not left with watermarks or blemishes. Depending on weather conditions and humidity, you may find pure water droplets on the glass after our job is finished. These should evaporate quickly and can be dried with a paper towel if necessary, leaving your windows perfectly clean.
How Often Should I Get My Windows Cleaned in Dublin?
For most homes in Dublin, an exterior window clean every 4 to 8 weeks keeps the glass looking its best. Homes near busy roads, on the coast or close to building sites usually benefit from a 4-weekly clean, while quieter residential streets can often go 6 to 8 weeks. Shops and offices normally need more frequent cleaning to keep a professional appearance.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Dublin?
Gutter cleaning starts from €100 for a terrace bungalow and from €120 to €140 for a two-storey terrace house, depending on the number of bedrooms. The final price depends on the height, size, number of gutters and how blocked they are. See our full price list or request a free quote.
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
Most homes need their gutters cleaned at least once a year, ideally in late autumn once the leaves have fallen. If you have trees near your house, twice a year (late spring and late autumn) is recommended, and homes surrounded by mature trees may need it three times a year.

What Are the Signs That My Gutters Are Blocked?
The most common signs are water spilling over the edge of the gutter when it rains, plants or moss growing out of the gutter, damp patches or green streaks on the outside walls, sagging gutters, downpipes that stay dry during rain, and damp or mould on internal walls near the roofline. If you notice any of these, it is best to have your gutters cleaned as soon as possible.
What Happens If I Don’t Clean My Gutters?
Blocked gutters overflow, sending rainwater down your walls instead of into the downpipes. Over time this can cause rotting fascia and soffit boards, damp and mould inside the house, water pooling near the foundations and gutters pulling away from the roofline. A regular gutter clean costs far less than repairing any of this damage.
What Is the Difference Between Gutters, Fascias and Soffits?
Gutters are the channels that collect rainwater from the roof. Fascias are the boards running along the roof edge that the gutters are fixed to, and soffits are the boards underneath that close the gap between the roof edge and the wall. We clean all three, so your whole roofline looks fresh. Find out more about our gutter and fascia cleaning service.
Do You Clean Windows When It Is Raining?
Yes. Light rain does not affect the result, because we rinse the glass with pure water that dries without leaving marks. Rain is not the main cause of dirty windows; it is the dust and grime already on the glass. We only reschedule in heavy rain or strong winds, when it is unsafe to work.
Do You Clean the Frames and Sills as Well as the Glass?
Yes. Our exterior window cleaning includes the glass, frames and cills as standard. The pure water brush system cleans uPVC and painted frames gently without any chemicals.
Do You Clean the Inside of Windows Too?
Yes. Most domestic customers book exterior cleaning, but we also offer inside window cleaning and high interior window cleaning for atriums, stairwells and commercial spaces. Interior cleaning is quoted separately.
Is Your Window Cleaning Safe for Children, Pets and Plants?
Yes. Our Reach and Wash system uses only purified water, with no soaps or chemicals, so nothing harmful runs onto your garden, paving or pets.
Can You Clean High Windows, Skylights and Conservatory Roofs?
Yes. Our water-fed poles reach upper-floor windows safely from the ground, and for very high or difficult-to-access glass we offer a cherry picker service. We also clean conservatories, including the roof panels, with our conservatory cleaning service.
Can You Remove Paint, Cement or Stickers from Windows after Building Work?
Yes, in most cases. Paint, plaster and sticker residue are not included in a standard window clean, so they are quoted separately. For new builds and renovations, take a look at our after builders cleaning service.
Do You Clean Commercial Properties?
Yes. Along with homes, we clean offices, shopfronts, schools, warehouses and industrial gutters across Dublin, Meath and Kildare.
Which Areas Do You Cover?
We cover all of Dublin, including areas such as Dublin 8, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Terenure and Rathfarnham, as well as County Meath and County Kildare.
