Abbey Wood mixes post-war houses on the Bostall and Abbey estates with new apartment blocks around the Elizabeth line station. Picture windows, uPVC frames and balcony glass collect dust from the rail lines and building sites nearby. We clean whole blocks and individual homes from the ground, so there are no ladders over shared paths and front gardens.

Eltham is lined with interwar semis and detached houses, many with deep bay windows, leaded lights, porches and conservatories at the back. On the Progress Estate and the streets off Well Hall Road, gardens and driveways make ladder work awkward. Our water-fed poles reach upper bays and dormers safely from the path, while Eltham High Street shopfronts are cleaned before trading starts.

In Charlton, Victorian terraces around Charlton Village and Charlton Church Lane sit close to new riverside flats by the Thames Barrier. Expect timber sashes and bays on older houses, plus large balcony glazing that river spray and traffic on the A206 and A102 quickly dull. A single Reach & Wash visit covers houses and low-rise blocks alike.

Around the heath, grand Georgian and Victorian houses, Span estates and mansion flats have tall sashes, fanlights, glazed porches and big rear windows facing gardens. Many are in conservation areas, so we keep ladders off period brickwork altogether. We work from the pavement or garden with soft brushes and purified water, carefully and without fuss.

Woolwich ranges from the converted Georgian and Victorian military buildings of Royal Arsenal to tall new apartment blocks and Powis Street shopfronts. Listed façades, long runs of windows and balcony glass high above the river call for a careful approach. We reach up to six floors from the ground and can schedule block and commercial cleans around concierge access and opening hours.

The Greenwich side of Thamesmead combines 1970s estates with new developments along the river and the lakes. Large flat-glazed windows, balconies and walkway-facing frames are exposed to wind-blown grime off the Thames. Our ground-based poles let us clean upper floors without access equipment, for individual households, landlords and managing agents.
