Window cleaning in Sumner, Christchurch
Sea air is hard on glass, and Sumner gets plenty of it. Dave and the team rinse the salt off with pure water from the ground, right up to the top floor, then dry the inside by hand with soft cotton.

Dave looks over the storeys, the glass and any photos, then comes back to you with a free estimate and a day that suits.
Outside, from the ground
A soft brush on a carbon-fibre water-fed pole scrubs the glass, then a rinse of pure water carries the dirt away. The glass is left wet and dries clear by itself.
Inside, by hand
A traditional mop and squeegee with water and a little dishwashing liquid, then each pane is dried with soft, lint-free cotton. The sills are wiped as we go.
A reminder next time
On a regular round, you get a reminder before each visit, every few months or as often as your place needs.
Great communication leading up to the clean, and the result is fantastic, would highly reccommend!
Sea air and Sumner glass
Sumner sits in its own valley on the northern side of Banks Peninsula, facing Pegasus Bay past the mouth of the estuary. Homes within 500 metres of the sea, or 100 metres of the estuary’s tidal edge, sit in the highest sea-salt zone, so the streets nearest the beach live with salt in the air.
Salt settles on glass as a dull film, and it builds fastest on the seaward side. That’s why we suggest a clean every 6 to 8 weeks for homes near the coast, where most homes further inland can go 2 to 4 months.
Along the Esplanade, part of Sumner is a Residential Character Area in the District Plan: early 20th-century seaside houses, mostly two storeys, with balconies and large windows facing the beach. They’re exactly the windows a pole worked from the ground reaches without anyone leaning over a balcony rail.
Tips for Sumner windows
- Book the seaward side more often than the back: every 6 to 8 weeks keeps salt from dulling the glass.
- After a run of easterlies or a stormy week, a pure-water rinse lifts the salt before it builds up.
- Upstairs balcony windows are cleaned from the ground with the pole, so nobody leans over a rail.
