Glass, frames and sills
The exterior glass is rinsed with purified water and the frames and sills are worked in the same pass, so runoff does not leave lines below each pane.
Window cleaning, Cape Town
High-rise window cleaning in Cape Town.
Cradles need roof rigging and a closed pavement; rope teams need anchor points and time. For large glass areas, a drone cleans the same elevations with less setup and less disruption.
Wind and weather windows
Cape Town wind sets the schedule. Flights are planned around gusts at height, and elevations are worked in the order the weather allows.
What drone cleaning does not do
It does not clean interiors, and it does not replace hand detailing on paint, stickers or heavy local soiling. Those stay with a rope or cradle team.
Buildings that suit it
Apartment blocks, hotels, office towers and glass-fronted retail, especially where a cradle programme is expensive to mobilise for a single clean.
Questions
Common questions.
01Is drone window cleaning as good as a cradle?
For exterior glass it is comparable, and it removes the rigging and street closure. Heavy local soiling still needs hand work.
02Will water get inside?
Pressure and angle are controlled, and seals are checked before the work starts.
03How high can it go?
Height is set by the tether system, airspace and site conditions, and is confirmed at the assessment rather than promised in advance.
04How often should windows be cleaned?
Coastal and city-centre buildings usually need a shorter cycle. The interval is agreed after the first clean.
