GlassStones covers Rochester, Strood, Cuxton, Halling, Borstal and Wainscott for domestic and commercial window cleaning, using purified water through a water-fed pole.
High Street traffic film, river air and general grit leave a layer that ordinary washing smears rather than removes. Deionised water lifts it and dries off the pane clean.
Sash windows on three-storey terraces, dormers and glass above rear extensions are all reachable from the ground with a pole, and awkward or unsafe with a ladder.
These sit on the standard round rather than being treated as an out-of-area add-on, so they get the same frequencies and the same pricing.
A 100% satisfaction guarantee on every visit, a 4.9 out of 5 rating and more than 1,400 active customers across Kent.
GlassStones covers Rochester for domestic and commercial window cleaning, along with Strood, Cuxton, Halling, Borstal and Wainscott. The round takes in everything from the period properties around the High Street and Star Hill to the estates out towards the M2, plus shopfronts, offices and small commercial units across the city.
Rochester glass takes a beating. The High Street traffic, the river air and the general grit of a busy Medway town leave a film on the outside of the pane that ordinary washing smears rather than removes. Purified water through a water-fed pole is what deals with it properly.
Conservatory roofs are quoted separately, as they take longer and need a different approach.
Ordinary tap water carries dissolved minerals. Wipe it on glass and, as it dries, those minerals stay behind as spotting. That is why traditional cleaning needs detergent and a squeegee to chase the water off before it dries.
We take the minerals out first. Filtered and deionised, the water becomes aggressive about picking up dirt and, when it dries, leaves nothing on the pane. It runs through a brush head on a telescopic pole, so the frames and seals get scrubbed at the same time as the glass, and the whole job is done from the ground.
For Rochester's older housing stock that matters. Sash windows on three-storey terraces, dormers, and glass sitting above a rear extension or a conservatory are all reachable with a pole and awkward or unsafe with a ladder. Nothing leans on your guttering and nobody stands in your borders.
Dirt on glass is not just cosmetic. Traffic film, salt and airborne grit are mildly abrasive and gradually etch the surface, and organic growth around the seals shortens their life. Keeping on top of it is cheaper than dealing with it.
For businesses it is more direct. A grimy shopfront on Rochester High Street tells people something about the business behind it before they get to the door. A clean one does the same in the other direction.
| Frequency | Usually suits |
|---|---|
| 4-weekly | High Street shopfronts, main roads, and homes near traffic or building work |
| 8-weekly | Most residential streets in Rochester and Strood |
| 12-weekly | Sheltered properties and lighter maintenance |
| One-off | Moving day, end of tenancy, or a clean before an event |
A first clean normally costs about double a standard clean, because it takes a lot longer to get built-up dirt off the frames, seals and sills. Take a regular package and that is waived, so you pay the package rate from the very first visit. That introductory price assumes you stay for your first three cleans — stop before then and the difference on the first clean becomes payable at the one-off rate. Beyond that there is no long contract, and nothing hidden.
The instant online window cleaning quote gives you a figure in a couple of minutes. It asks about property type, bedrooms, features such as bay windows or a conservatory, how we get to the rear, and how often you want us.
Retail units, offices, pubs, salons, surgeries and small industrial premises are all part of the round. Frequency is the main decision, and it depends more on the road than the building. We work around trading hours where we can and keep the entrance clear while we are there. If you run more than one site, they can sit on a single schedule with one invoice.
Most Rochester properties need more than the glass, and it is usually cheaper to have it done in the same visit.
Gutters. Cleared with a ground-based vacuum, all gutters and downpipes, with no ladders involved. Blocked gutters are the usual cause of damp patches on walls and rot in the fascia board. We can add an external wash of the gutter line plus fascias and soffits if you want the roofline to match. The gutter cleaning service in Kent page covers both.
Conservatories. Glass, frames and roof panels, plus the roof channels that clog with moss and leaves and then overflow.
Solar panels. Purified water only, nothing abrasive and no chemicals. Dust, pollen and bird mess all cut output, so keeping the surface clear protects what you generate.
Driveways, patios and roofs. These are not priced online. Surface type, area and condition vary far too much for a form, and roofs in particular need a look before anyone commits to a method. We take the details and arrange for someone to inspect, then come back with a proper quote.
Rochester sits in the middle of a round that also takes in Gillingham, Rainham and the rest of the Medway towns, and continues out to Maidstone and across a wide part of Kent. Strood, Cuxton, Halling, Wainscott and Borstal are all on the standard round rather than treated as an add-on.
There is very little to do. Clear the windowsills inside if you want the inside faces done, make sure the side gate is unlocked or tell us how you would like access handled, and move anything fragile away from the outside walls. We will not move your furniture without asking.
You do not need to be at home for an exterior clean, provided we can reach the rear.
Once you book, a colleague calls to confirm the details, check access and answer anything outstanding. We will not commit to a date through the website. Scheduling sets that once your address is placed in the right Rochester round.
We are fully insured, every clean carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if something has been missed we come back and put it right. We hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating and look after more than 1,400 active customers.
Payment is whatever suits. Regular customers usually go on GoCardless, which collects automatically after each visit. One-off jobs get an invoice with a secure card link, and bank transfer or cash are both fine.
It depends more on the road than the building. High Street shopfronts, main roads and homes near traffic or building work usually want 4-weekly. Most residential streets in Rochester and Strood suit 8-weekly. Sheltered properties are often fine at 12-weekly, and we do one-off cleans as well.
Yes, along with Borstal and Wainscott. They are on the standard round rather than treated as an add-on, so the same frequencies and the same pricing apply. We also cover Gillingham, Rainham and the rest of the Medway towns, out to Maidstone and across a wide part of Kent.

Yes. Purified water works fine in cold weather and light rain, and because it dries without leaving minerals behind, a shower does not undo the clean. Heavy weather that makes the work unsafe is a different matter, and if we are held up we will tell you rather than let it drift.
Yes, fully insured, and every clean carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something has been missed, tell us and we come back and put it right.
For window cleaning, yes. The instant online quote handles most houses using property type, bedrooms, features and access details.
Driveways, patios and roofs are different. Surface, area and condition vary too much, so we take the details and arrange a look before quoting.
