Why all the fuss about water-fed pole window cleaning?

For professionally cleaned windows, the squeegee system has been the method of choice for years. Cleaning crews that are trained in the art of squeegeeing, using industry quality equipment will give you the best results. In 1955 Tucker Pole Systems came out with a water-fed-pole & brush method, which helped reach windows without the use of ladders. The problem was that there was not a standard training system for this new method. Also, the poles were made of aluminium, which was heavy and awkward at reaching high windows. 

In the last decade, numerous companies have manufactured high-tech, ultra-light carbon telescopic poles, providing a lightweight, sturdy option. Brush technology also improved, becoming wider and lighter, which improved efficiency and quality. With proper training, window cleaners can now reach up to 5 stories with good results. 

Your windows will cleaned using a method, which is now the industry standard –

The Water Fed Pole System

We have invested in this technology which involves the use of extendable poles and 100% pure water which is purified through de-ionisation vessels for a number of reasons: 

1). BETTER CLEANING RESULTS – The major advantage of pure water is that it absorbs large amounts of dirt from your windows. The process involves brushing your windows clean with pure water; as such they will be left wet and will need time to dry naturally. This may be a bit disconcerting at first, as obviously this is not what some of our customers are used to. However, once dry your windows WILL be clean and smear free. 

2). HEALTH & SAFETY – Legislation limits the use of ladders. The law now states that ladders can only be used when all viable alternatives have been considered, and now The Water Fed Pole System is seen as a safer and more viable alternative for window cleaning. 

3). ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY – Only pure water is used, eliminating the need for detergents and chemicals. 

4). IMPROVED SERVICE – We can now reach with ease previously inaccessible aspects of your property. Third floor windows, windows above porches, conservatory roofs etc. 

Please note that if your windows have been cleaned in the past using detergents or chemicals it may take 2 or 3 visits using our Water Fed Pole System to remove soapy residue, this may result in minor spotting on your windows. However please be assured that once this is cleared you will be more than happy with the results.
