Cleaning Process
Site Assessment & Safety
Planning
Before any cleaning begins, our high-rise
specialists inspect the site to assess risks,
confirm anchor certifications, identify access
routes, and select an appropriate
cleaning method, rope access, BMU, or EWP.
Safety Setup & Equipment
Installation
Our safety equipment setup includes
certified harness systems, dual-rope rigs,
karabiners, anchor slings, rope pads, and
EWP safety checks. We implement
exclusion zones and barriers to protect
occupants and pedestrians.
External Window Cleaning
We clean using a combination of deionised
water-fed poles, manual detailing tools,
squeegees, and façade-safe detergents.
For stubborn stains or mineral deposits,
our team uses advanced techniques that
protect glass coatings and prevent etching.
Final Inspection & Quality
Check
To guarantee optimal results, every
project undergoes a rigorous final
inspection. We check each pane for streaks,
water trails, missed spots, or surface defects.
Before-and-after documentation is provided
for strata managers, facility
managers, and body corporate clients.
Experts in High-Rise Window Cleaning for Melbourne Buildings
Melbourne’s growing skyline, characterised by glass-heavy façades and multi-storey structures, requires specialist external cleaning knowledge, not standard cleaners. High-rise towers face conditions that accelerate dirt build-up, including sea air, construction dust, weather patterns, and pollutant exposure. These factors make thorough cleaning essential for both façade longevity and occupant visibility.
Our high-rise specialists operate safely using rope access, abseiling equipment, BMUs, and advanced external cleaning systems. We clean windows on:
- CBD office towers
- Docklands corporate buildings
- Southbank residential skyscrapers
- Hotel façades and hospitality precincts
- Body corporate and strata buildings
Here’s What Our
Clients Are Saying
From the outset, Paint Melbourne impressed me with their clear and consistent communication. Despite facing significant challenges from insurance companies and coordinating with multiple apartment owners, they kept me informed at every stage of the process. Everything unfolded just as they had outlined at the beginning, with no unexpected delays or surprises. Their commitment to transparency and reliability made a potentially stressful situation remarkably smooth.
The team’s attention to detail was outstanding. Each trade professional on site knew exactly what needed to be done and approached their tasks with expertise and care. They treated my property with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything was protected and left spotless at the end of each day. The painters and plasterers were meticulous, and the result is truly impeccable-my apartment looks better than ever.
Beyond the technical quality, I appreciated the professionalism and courtesy of everyone involved. They were punctual, efficient, and always approachable if I had questions or concerns. It’s rare to find a company that combines such high standards of workmanship with genuine customer care. I’ve seen firsthand how they handle complex jobs and challenging circumstances without compromising on quality or service.
I will absolutely be recommending Paint Melbourne to friends, Neighbours, and anyone seeking reliable, high-quality painting and restoration work. They’ve certainly earned my trust and gratitude for a job exceptionally well done
Evan the painter was very professional in his approach to the painting works and I was extremely happy with the end result.
I have no hesitation in using Paint Melbourne for my next painting project and I can recommend them to anyone requiring quality painting services.

we will get Paint Melbourne to quote on painting our exterior of the building when we do it. I recommend them most highly. Thank you all - Tonya Jennings Marine Parade, St Kilda, 3182
Paint Melbourne came Monday and Tuesday this week, 26 and 27 April, 2021, to complete the render work on our front facia and to paint it. The men had to match the colour which they did perfectly! They were extremely professional and carried out the work very nicely. They were a great crew and were very pleasant people with whom to deal and work.
They are sending their report with the account. We will remember them for our future Body Corporate painting and rendering projects.
Also, Marek stayed back after the team left and left the whole area spotless which is much cleaner than it was originally. The building is extremely old and was in desperate need of painting. The transformation has been incredible and I would highly recommend Marek and Paint Melbourne to tackle the most difficult of jobs. It’s such a pleasure to deal with people who know what they are doing.
Krishna is obviously skilled at selecting the most talented and hard-working staff. I have no hesitation in recommending Paint Melbourne.
Phil
Huge shout out to Krishna and Anthony. It was genuinely nice to work with you and your team. Thanks for all the help.
They did a thorough job and matched our budget and timing requirements. A much needed and delayed update has been well done
Would recommend Paint Melbourne if you need your house painting project managed due to the large volume of work as we had, and if you are after quality painting.
The work was done on time and Pete was flexible enough to accommodate a last minute change in schedule. Highly recommended
As we had just had brand new windows, installed they also has to cover and seal every window prior to painting the walls, which was a huge task in itself.
The crew on site were so friendly and professional, at all times. Supervisor Richard was always here and helped with any requests. Peter, Nathan and the other crew members (sorry cant remember their names!) were all great. Nothing was a problem. Always happy and smiling.
Unlike other contractors we have had on site, they came early, got stuck into the work, often staying late in to the afternoon and left quietly. No loud radios blaring, yelling and swearing as we have had in the past with other tradesmen.
I would thoroughly recommend Paint Melbourne for any size job, if you want a professional job done. Thank you Paint Melbourne.
Janet Lambrou, Middle Park
The transformation of the exterior of my apartment building is fantastic. Its new colour looks fresh, clean and modern. Richard and his team have delivered a very thorough and professional job. They went above and beyond to assist whenever possible.
The interior of my apartment looks like new. Peter and his team were extremely professional from start to finish. Their preparation was meticulous, they noticed and attended to extra details, they communicated with me and were very organised for the job.
The teams from Paint Melbourne were reliable, hardworking, polite and delivered very high quality workmanship.
If you want quality and professionalism look no further than Paint Melbourne.
The COVID-19 restrictions don't stop them from stepping out of their way to assist even at a distance - today we had some removalist trucks in the area and Richard anticipated what I might need and protected our furniture from the wind and the weather. Big shout out to him from my whole family.

Our High-Rise Exterior Window Cleaning Services
Rope Access Window Cleaning (Abseiling)
Rope access continues to be the safest and most efficient solution for cleaning high-rise windows that elevated machinery cannot reach. Our IRATA-trained technicians operate using advanced techniques and certified anchor systems, ensuring safe working at all times. Abseiling is ideal for buildings positioned close to neighbouring structures, those with limited ground space, or towers requiring precision on complex façades.
High Access Window Cleaning Using EWPs / Boom Lifts
For lower-rise commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial properties, elevated work platforms (EWPs) or boom lifts allow controlled access to exterior glass. Our cleaners are fully insured, EWP-licensed, and trained in height safety procedures. This method is ideal for wide façades, loading dock windows, or sites where large machinery can be safely positioned.
Body Corporate & Strata Window Cleaning
Large residential buildings require scheduled maintenance to preserve façade appeal and prevent long-term glass staining. We clean balconies, atrium windows, common area glazing, skylights, and hard-to-reach exterior windows throughout high-rise complexes. Our services are tailored to support strata managers and committees, offering planned maintenance schedules that help prevent water spots, mould traces, and pollution build-up.
Commercial Window Cleaning for Offices & Corporate Towers
Melbourne’s commercial buildings require regular and thorough cleaning due to high pollution levels and consistent foot traffic. Our team cleans glass curtain walls, corporate entrances, balustrades, directional signage, and feature windows, ensuring a polished appearance that reflects your brand professionally. We offer early morning, after-hours, and weekend cleaning times to ensure business operations continue with minimal disruption.
High-Rise Façade Cleaning & Glass Restoration
Beyond standard window cleaning, our façade restoration specialists address oxidation marks, mineral deposits, stubborn stains, weather streaking, and ageing glass. Restoration may include gentle soft washing, chemical-safe stain removal, frame rejuvenation, or protective coating application. We also provide high-rise remediation services if façades require pre-repair cleaning.
