How are high windows cleaned on a highset house?
Most upper-level outside glass can be cleaned from the ground with water-fed poles, which avoids ladders on many jobs. Where a pole can’t reach or detail work is needed, we use ladders only where it’s safe, and the inside glass is cleaned from inside the home.
Is it safe to clean high windows myself?
It’s risky. Working from a ladder while reaching and scrubbing is one of the most common ways people get hurt at home, especially on sloping Brisbane blocks. For anything above ground level, a professional with the right equipment and insurance is the safer choice.
How much does it cost to clean a highset house?
Highset house window cleaning with Nick the Window Cleaner starts from $450, inside and outside. The price depends on the number of windows, louvres and sliding doors, and how easy the upper levels are to reach.
As a premium window cleaning service, our price covers doing the job properly the first time: efficient work, no return visits to fix things, and customers who are always happy with the result.

Do you clean louvres and old Queenslander windows?
Yes. Louvres and multi-pane Queenslander windows have more glass edges, so they take longer than a single large pane, which is reflected in the quote.
Can you reach windows above gardens, awnings or stairwells?
Usually, yes. We assess access first and choose the right method, so high panes, over-garden glass and above-awning windows are all manageable.
Do you clean the inside of upstairs windows too?
Yes. A standard clean covers inside and outside glass and sills on every level, with care around your floors and furniture.
