Why I upgraded my gear. 🛠️ This smaller brush (pictured) used to be standard, but I found it struggled to scrub the uPVC sills properly. I switched to a wider, specific 'Sill Brush' to ensure that when I clean for you, the frames come up just as bright as the glass. Constant improvements for my rounds in Colchester and Braintree.

Precision Rinsing. We use specialized red fan jets on our brushes. These provide a wider spread of pure water, which is incredibly effective on glass that naturally repels water (hydrophobic). This ensures a thorough rinse and a streak-free finish, even on difficult modern windows.

Taking on a narrow side-access window cleaning job near Layer Road, Colchester. This photo shows exactly why we use specialized equipment—our water-fed poles are fitted with multi-angle swivel brush heads. This allows us to clean windows at almost impossible angles where space is tight, ensuring every pane gets a thorough scrub even in the most awkward spots. No matter how narrow the side-path or how difficult the angle, we have the tools to reach it.

Morning gear check! 🧐 People often ask if our brushes will scratch their frames. The answer is definitely not. I use a specialist 'Sill Brush' with ultra-soft bristles. It’s tough enough to scrub the dirt off your uPVC sills and frames, but gentle enough to ensure zero scratches. Safe, effective cleaning for homes in Stanway and Prettygate

Traditional hand window cleaning on delicate wooden doors in Colchester.

Adaptability is key. The paintwork on these older doors was quite flaky. I knew the bristles of the water-fed pole would knock more paint off and create a mess. So, I put the pole away and cleaned the glass by hand instead. Crystal clear glass, zero damage to the door frames

We don't just clean the glass. A proper clean includes the frames and sills every time. We scrub and rinse your UPVC sills to remove green algae and built-up grime, ensuring your whole window unit looks fresh—not just the pane.

Upgrading the setup at Sorrell Pressure Wash and Windows by installing an on-board water heating system! By using heated purified water, we can provide an even deeper, more effective clean on windows and frames without the need for harsh chemicals. This professional setup also allows us to continue working through the colder Essex winters, preventing water from freezing on the glass and ensuring your property stays sparkling year-round. Better results, eco-friendly, and reliable in any weather.

Frames first, check brush, then glass. 🔄 That's the routine. After scrubbing the dirt and spiders from the frames, I check the bristles to make sure I haven't picked up any grit or webs. Only clean bristles touch your glass. It’s this attention to detail that keeps our customers in Kelvedon and Prettygate coming back.

My best investment? These sunglasses. It might sound surprising, but high-quality polarized sunglasses are the most valuable tool in my van. They cut through the intense glare of the sun reflecting off wet glass, allowing me to spot even the tiniest smudge or spot that I might otherwise miss. They protect my eyes and ensure you get a flawless finish.

At Sorrell Pressure Wash and Windows, we take pride in the finish, ensuring every part of the frame and sill is meticulously cleaned. It’s this level of care and attention to detail that keeps Lexden homes looking their absolute best.
