This page explains the signs, a proper method and the questions to ask. We'll try to connect you with an independent provider. We don't do the work.

What to expect
Skylight and Glass Railing Cleaning: what is involved.
Skylights are cleaned from outside, inside or both depending on the roof and the unit. Roof access raises fall risk. Ask the provider how they reach the skylight and what fall protection they use.
Glass railings are cleaned with products that won't damage the glass or hardware. Ask the provider to avoid abrasive tools and harsh chemicals on coated or laminated glass.
If a skylight leaks or is cracked, cleaning won't fix it. A provider should tell you and suggest a roofer or glazier.

FAQ
Skylight and Glass Railing Cleaning questions.
Can skylights be cleaned safely from outside?
Often yes, but it depends on roof pitch, height and condition. A provider should have a fall protection plan that meets WorkSafeBC rules before going on a roof.
Do providers clean glass balcony railings?
Many do. Ask whether railings are included and what products are used on the glass and hardware.
Will cleaning remove hard water stains from railing glass?
Some stains lift with the right method, others etch the glass. Ask the provider to test a small area first.
Is skylight cleaning priced separately from windows?
Usually it is quoted as its own line because of access and safety. Ask for it itemised.
