What Chorlton neighbours say.

Real reviews from Google and Birdeye — no filtering, no exceptions.

"John's been doing our windows on an 8-weekly round for over a year now. Turns up like clockwork, always polite, and the finish is genuinely streak-free. No more ladders clattering around the back garden — love the pure water pole setup."

"Had John out to clear the gutters after a neighbour recommended him. Showed me camera footage before and after — they were full of moss! House feels dry again and the fascias came up like new. Fair price, top job."

"John cleaned our conservatory roof and it's like having a new room. Somehow the light is just different now. He also sorted the solar panels while he was at it — generation's noticeably up since. Lovely guy, proper professional."

"Set up a direct debit with JPF for 4-weekly windows and it's been brilliant — no chasing, no awkward cash handovers. John texts the night before, turns up, gets the job done, moves on. This is how a trade service should work."

"The fascias and soffits round our 1930s semi in Firswood had gone almost black. John spent a full morning on them — came up bright white. My wife barely recognised the front of the house. Quoted fair, stuck to it, great communication throughout."

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Honest answers about how the modern window-cleaning round actually works.

Traditional cleaners use detergent, a squeegee and ladders. Pure water cleaning uses rainwater that's been filtered through three stages (sediment, carbon, then deionised) until every mineral is stripped out. That water is delivered via a carbon-fibre pole and brush, meaning I can safely reach upstairs windows, fascias, conservatory roofs and solar panels from the pavement. The windows dry streak-free because there are no minerals left behind — and frames, sills and all. No ladders scraping paintwork, no footprints in the borders, and a much safer working method overall.

Most of my regular Chorlton customers go for a 4-weekly or 8-weekly round — 4-weekly keeps them consistently spotless, 8-weekly is more economical. In Manchester, where we get a lot of rain and city dust, going much longer than 8 weeks tends to let dirt build up to where it takes longer (and costs more) to bring back. Commercial and shopfront clients often prefer weekly or fortnightly. One-offs for selling a property or after building work are absolutely fine too.

Not at all. I use a high-reach gutter vacuum with a wet & dry system and an inspection camera on the pole. Everything's done from the ground, up to around 40ft. I'll send a live feed to a small monitor so you can see exactly what's in there, clear out leaves, moss, silt and any nesting debris, and then do an after-check so you can see the inside of the gutters running clear. You get before/after photos emailed after every gutter job.

Completely safe — conservatory roof cleaning is a specialist part of the job. I never stand on the roof (it's not designed to take that weight) and I don't use a pressure washer on it. Instead it's a soft-bristle brush fed by pure water, which gently lifts algae, moss spores and pollen build-up. For badly soiled polycarbonate I use a safe bio-cleaner first, then rinse through with pure water. The difference in light levels inside after a proper clean is often dramatic.

Yes — a real one. Industry studies show dusty, bird-soiled or pollen-covered panels can lose 15-30% of their output. In the North West, with our mix of traffic pollution, moss and bird activity, that's a noticeable drop. I clean solar panels with pure water only (no detergents, which can leave a film) and a soft brush, working from the ground. Most homeowners notice a lift on their generation monitor within the first few sunny days. A yearly clean usually pays for itself many times over.

Every quote is free and tailored to your property — prices depend on house size, number of windows, whether it includes fascias/gutters, and how accessible the property is. A standard 3-bed semi in M21 with a 4-weekly window round is typically very affordable (ask for a specific price). Gutter clearing and one-off specialist jobs (solar, conservatory, pressure washing) are quoted per job. Payment is cash, bank transfer or — most popular with regulars — GoCardless direct debit, so you don't have to think about it. Nothing's taken until the job is done.
