Changes to our payment options

We have taken a decision to remove Paypal as a payment option partly due to its lack of popularity with our customers and the high charges incurred on each transaction.

We have replace it with a Direct Debit option securely managed for us by GoCardless.

Once set up we simply call for payment 5 days after your clean . Its as simple as that!

Time, Neglect and uPVC

This is the worlds shortest blog post and it simply to highlight how neglecting your Upvc doors, gutters, fascias and window frames can leave unsightly staining on the plastic.

When green or black algae is left to settle on your plastic it starts to eat ever so slightly into the surface of the plastic. This is a chemical reaction and it leaves an unsightly  grey shadow when the offending algae is eventually removed.

The other issue is that leaving heavy soiling in place can allow the sun to bleach the uncovered areas which gives a slight piebald effect.

These two pictures demonstrate the shading that is left behind on neglected plastic, staining that could have been avoided by simply having the gutters and fascias washed down once a year..

Before the clean notice the baked on Algae.

After the clean Notice the Grey drip like staining on the gutter and the joint.

We can help you prevent this unsightly damage by cleaning your uPVC either as an annual clean or part of a regular cleaning regime.  Simply use our contact page to get a no obligation quote.

We Now Accept Payment by Paypal

We now offer Paypal as an option to pay your window cleaning bill.

While most of our customers recieve an emailed invoice after we perform a clean and many pay by BACS transfer, we realise that not everyone has that capability.

With this in mind we have added Paypal as a payment option on all E-mailed invoices .

Unfortunatley Paypal is not a free service and the system will automatically add the paypal charge to each transaction.

If neither BACS or Paypal is for you we also accept cheaques and good old fashioned cash as payment for our cleaning services.

See our Prices Page for more details

Window cleaning Blog #2 well its actually conservatory cleaning #1.

before-after-1

Spring is about to spring and the winter will have taken its toll not only on the appearance of your conservatory but all your exterior uPVC.

Green slime and baked on black mould that has attached itself will quite simply be making the whole house look shabby.

Many of you will own cars that cost a few thousand and in some cases many thousands . I would bet that most of you fairly regularly wash down and even polish your car.

a) because its a valuable asset and

b) cause its appearance reflects on the driver / owner.

Conservatories on the other hand go many years without any TLC. They get covered in the dreaded green slime, Black mould, moss grows in the channels and can force its way into the seals.

They sit attached to many properties looking neglected and unloved, yet when new they probably cost as much if not more than that car you wash and polish regularly.

The reasons for this are partly people not knowing how to effectively remove the deposits and growths or they were told that it was equipped with glass that never need cleaning ( misleading sales technique all glass needs cleaning eventually) or its is believed profession cleaning costs a small fortune..

Here at Albright and Shiny we have the equipment and the ability to clean all this muck off of your conservatory, Gutters, Fascias, soffits and downpipes.

It doesn’t cost a fortune and occasional maintenance will keep on top of it.

If your conservatory feels unloved and would like a bit of a springtime makeover simply contact us and we will pop round and give you a free no obligation quote..

Just to whet your appetite thie picture shows what professional cleaning can do for your poor old conservatory.

Remember we are cleaning windows in Warminster, Westbury and Frome next week.
