What High-Rise Window Cleaning in Perth Looks Like
Here’s an example of a high-rise window cleaning project we completed for the well-known and iconic Council House building in the Perth CBD.

Types of High-Rise Buildings We Clean
We share the same healthy admiration for skyscrapers as well as any other tall structure, as long as they are sparkling clean!
Let’s face it, nobody enjoys peering through a grimy window. And a building with dirty windows is about as appealing as a skyscraper without a view.
That’s why we set out on a mission to become experts at high-rise window cleaning for all sorts of residential and commercial buildings.
Some of these may be well-known landmarks that form part of our capital city’s iconic skyline here in WA. Others, perhaps of the lesser-known variety, we enjoy servicing just as much!
Here are some tall-standing examples of high-rise buildings we clean:

Healthcare facilities require the highest standards of cleanliness, not just inside but also on their exteriors, which is why we provide thorough and professional cleaning solutions for windows, façades, and outdoor surfaces.
Many of the buildings we service house medical activities, where maintaining a pristine appearance is essential for creating a safe, hygienic, and welcoming environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

Our window cleaning methods
Now that we have established that not every building is the same, let’s look into the various approaches we us to access each multi-storey structure that lands on our job list.
Depending on the type of building, we’ll first determine the best way to safely set up an access point from which we can start the cleaning process. If you’re not sure which one works best for your high-rise building’s exterior clean, please contact us for more information. Here’s how we access most high-rise buildings:
Rope Access
Our expertly trained technicians use anchor points, ropes, harnesses and other specialised equipment to safely descend or ascend your building facades.
This technique is efficient, cost-effective, and minimises disruption compared to traditional scaffolding or aerial lifts.
It allows workers to reach difficult areas with precision while ensuring high safety standards through rigorous training and equipment checks.
Pure Water Technology
Pure water technology uses de-ionised water and water-fed poles to deliver a streak-free finish without chemicals.
Tap water is purified to remove minerals and impurities, allowing it to attract and lift dirt effectively. When rinsed, the pure water dries without leaving spots, eliminating the need for detergents.
This method is eco-friendly, uses less water and no chemicals. Because pure water leaves no residue, windows stay clean longer, reducing how often they need to be washed.
EWP
Elevated Work Platform (EWP) access methods for high-rise building cleaning involve using boom lifts, scissor lifts, or truck-mounted platforms to reach windows and exterior surfaces.
These machines provide a stable and secure platform for workers, allowing efficient and controlled cleaning at various heights.
EWP access is ideal for mid-rise and high-rise buildings where ground space permits equipment setup, ensuring safety through proper operator training and adherence to regulations.
Parts of High-rise Buildings We Clean
So apart from windows, what are the most common parts of high-rise buildings we come across that require regular exterior cleaning to maintain their appearance, prevent damage, and ensure safety? Here you go:
Windows & Glass Facades
Of course, the majority of our work consists of high rise window cleaning services.
Over time, window surfaces can accumulate anything from dirt, dust, smog to bird droppings and water stains. This reduces visibility and just isn’t the best look on a building.
Building Cladding & Facades
Apart from windows, we spend most of our time on the job cleaning building cladding and exterior façades.
The most common outer materials we deal with are glass, metal, concrete, stone, or composite panels. These can develop grime, mould and pollution stains.
Signage & Logos
More often than not, signage forms the centrepiece of your high-rise commercial building.
We help keep your corporate logos and signs visible, easy to read and free of any dirt or discolouration.
Ledges & Decorative Features
This is where we clean architectural elements such cornices, ledges, and balconies.
These elements on your high-rise building can collect dirt and leaves over time, or even provide the perfect environment for bird nests.
Gutters & Drainage Systems
It may be a tricky endeavour to keep hard-to-reach gutter and drainage systems clear of debris to prevent water damage and leakage.
That’s where our proven rope access methods come in!
Roofs & Skylights
Dust, algae, and moss can accumulate on roofs and tiling.
This can significantly impact the aesthetics of your roofing as well as cause issues with insulation over time.
Balconies & Glass Balustrades
Balconies and glass balustrades are exposed to the elements 24/7, which can lead to dust build-up, or even rust on metals and mould on some structures.
Types of High-Rise Windows We Clean
At Blue Yonder Access, we specialise in high-rise window cleaning for all types of architectural designs and window systems.
High-rise buildings can feature a variety of window types with specific cleaning challenges.
Our experienced team is fully trained and equipped to clean every kind of window safely, thoroughly, and efficiently, no matter how high or complex the structure.
Common High-Rise Window Types We Clean
Fixed Windows
These non-operable windows are common in high-rise office towers and modern residential buildings.
Since they don’t open, fixed windows rely entirely on professional external cleaning. We use rope access and water-fed poles to keep them spotless—even on the highest floors.
Sliding Windows
Frequently found in residential high-rises, sliding windows can attract dirt and grime in their tracks and on the glass.
Our team cleans both interior and exterior panes, along with the frames and tracks, to ensure full functionality and clear visibility.
Casement and Awning Windows
These hinged windows can swing outward, presenting unique cleaning angles.
We take extra care to access these safely and thoroughly, removing buildup from both the glass and the surrounding hardware.
Curtain Wall Systems
Many modern high-rises use expansive curtain wall systems—continuous glass façades that span multiple floors.
Our team is specially trained to clean large-scale glass walls efficiently, maintaining a clean, uniform appearance across the entire building.
Spandrel and Vision Glass Panels
These two types often work together in high-rise designs: vision glass allows for natural light and views, while spandrel glass conceals building elements like insulation or floor slabs.
We clean both types to ensure your building maintains a sleek, professional exterior.
Skylights and Sloped Glass
Some high-rises incorporate skylights or angled glass surfaces. These areas are prone to collecting debris, water stains, and bird droppings.
We use advanced safety systems and equipment to clean them thoroughly without damage.
What Parts of High-Rise Windows Can We Clean?
When cleaning the windows of high rises, it’s not always just the glass that needs attention.
Windows are composed of multiple components which all play a role in the appearance, performance, and longevity of a building’s façade.
At Blue Yonder Access, our comprehensive window cleaning services go above and beyond to keep every element of your windows spotless and functioning as they should.
Key Window Components We Clean
Window Glass Panels
The most visible part of any window, the glass panels collect dust, smog, bird droppings, and water spots.
We use industry-leading equipment and eco-friendly solutions to leave your windows crystal clear—without streaks or residue.
Window Frames and Mullions
Frames and mullions (the vertical and horizontal dividers between glass panes) can trap grime and pollutants over time, especially in high-traffic urban environments.
We ensure these areas are thoroughly cleaned to maintain structural integrity and a sharp, professional appearance.
Window Frames and Sills
Though not always visible from the outside, window sills can accumulate dirt, mould, and debris.
Our technicians are trained to safely access and clean these areas on high-rise buildings, helping to prevent long-term damage or water infiltration issues.
Spandrel Glass and Decorative Panels
Many modern high-rises include opaque or decorative panels between floors. These, too, can accumulate dirt and diminish the aesthetic appeal of your building.
We clean all types of architectural glass to keep your building looking its best from top to bottom.
Window Louvers and Vent Openings
Ventilation louvers are often installed near windows and can be prone to collecting airborne particles.
We provide specialised cleaning services for these fixtures, ensuring airflow is not obstructed and that the exterior remains uniform and clean.
Why Comprehensive Cleaning Matters
Keeping all parts of your high-rise windows clean isn’t just about appearance. It’s about protecting your investment.
Dirt and pollution buildup can corrode materials over time, reducing efficiency and leading to costly repairs.
Our professional team ensures every detail is addressed safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to building occupants.
