FAQ's
Window Cleaning:
For approximately 90% of our window cleaning we use the water fed pole method. We were one of the first companies in this area to invest in this system 15 years ago. We can guarantee that if used correctly it produces fantastic results.
For Internal work & on odd occasions if deemed necessary we still use the traditional method of using soap and water via squeegee and Dolly.
At Rise and Shine Cleaning as part of our standard window clean, we will clean all glass, surrounding framework, sills & doors - Including garage doors.
We will always try our hardest to reach every window, relying on nearly 20 years of experience in the business. Our poles can reach a height of 65 feet. We believe in the saying "where there is a will, there is a way"
It is always the client's choice when any clean is carried out. If requested some clients like reminders ranging from 1-6 months. It is then their decision. We would never turn up without prior agreement.
We are happy to take payment via bank transfer & make sure any gates are closed on leaving. We often have combination locks, that are obviously kept private.

Pressure Washing:
Yes, we carry out our pressure washing service on a variety of different surfaces which include imprinted concrete, block paving, tarmac, different varieties of natural stone, decking and resin bonding.
Yes, we re-sand using kiln dried sand (different colours) between block paving and we also use black spot remover on a variety of surfaces to try to remove any lichen and staining.
We will first move any plant pots or garden furniture out of the way to minimise any spray onto them. We will also mist everything down after our clean to ensure your garden looks the same as it did before we started. The beauty of using our services is that we can also provide a window clean afterwards to any affected windows to ensure there is no lime scale staining.

Solar Panel Cleaning:
| |
As Solar panels face upwards there are a number of types of dirt and debris that can cover their surface. This dirt and debris build up over time and creates an opaque layer of grime on the panels, this layer of grime can reduce the panels efficiency by up to 30% therefore reducing the financial benefits considerably.
We at Rise And Shine Cleaning as well as the vast majority of solar panel installation companies recommend that your solar panels should be cleaned every six months to ensure to ensure you are getting the maximum yield from your panels.
No we do not, it is not recommended to use any forms of chemicals or detergents whilst carrying out a solar panel clean. The use of such chemicals will often leave a sticky microscopic film on the panels, which actually attracts dirt and grime. We use a de-ionised pure water pure pumped through our water fed poles to remove the build up of dirt and grime from the surface of the panel.
No, we have carried out many cleans on small, medium and large commercial installations ranging from farm buildings, schools, offices to solar panel farms.
