Glass roof washing means cleaning skylights, sloped glazing, glass canopies over entrances, atriums and winter gardens. In Aktau it costs from 800 ₸/m², an entrance canopy from 15,000 ₸, and we price an atrium from the inside after an inspection. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we will give you the price

On horizontal and sloped glass dirt stays longer than on vertical glass: sand and dust do not run off, bird droppings dry on, and about 140 mm of rain a year is enough only to leave streaks. The roof gets cloudy and lets in less light. Nobody walks on the glass: the rope access workers work on ropes from anchors

Good to know

Why we do not walk on the glass and when we reschedule

A glass roof or skylight is not always designed to hold a person's weight, so the rope access workers attach ropes to anchors on the roof or wall and work without stepping on the glass. Work at height in Kazakhstan is regulated by Order No. 109 of the Minister of Labor of Kazakhstan dated March 31, 2022, and the rules on site follow from it

Working heightRadius of the danger zone below
up to 10 m4 m
up to 20 m7 m
up to 50 m10 m
up to 100 m12.5 m

If there are people under the glass (atrium, winter garden, entrance under a canopy), we cordon off the area below the same way as outside

  • Work is not allowed in wind of 15 m/s or more, heavy rain, thunderstorms and poor visibility. Dust storms in Aktau bring gusts of 15–20 m/s, so we build a spare day into the schedule
  • Ropes are attached to separate anchors, and at least two people work
  • Access to the roof and anchors is agreed by the owner or management company, and in an apartment building also by the OSI or KSK (housing cooperative): the roof and facade there are common property
  • Not included: repair or replacement of glass, sealing of joints, fixing leaks

Windows and glass curtain walls of the same building: glass curtain wall washing and rope access window washing. For a winter garden in a private house, see cottage cleaning

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does glass roof washing cost in Aktau?
A glass roof, skylight and sloped glazing cost from 800 ₸/m², a glass canopy over an entrance from 15,000 ₸. We price an atrium and winter garden from inside after an inspection, and give the exact price from a photo
Do you wash skylights and glass canopies?
Yes, we wash skylights, sloped glazing, entrance canopies, atriums and winter gardens. We wash a canopy both on top and underneath
Do the rope access workers walk on a glass roof?
No. Glass cannot always hold a person's weight, so the rope access workers work from ropes secured to anchors and do not step on the glass
Why does a glass roof get dirty so fast?
On horizontal and sloped glass, sand, dust and bird droppings do not run off. Aktau gets about 140 mm of rain a year, which does not wash the glass, and dust storms leave new buildup
Why does a roof need rope access workers rather than an aerial lift?
In Aktau aerial lifts are mostly 16–22 m and work from the side, so they cannot reach the middle of a large roof, an atrium or glass on the inside. Rope access workers work from ropes and can reach any area
Is permission needed to get onto the roof?
The roof and facade of an apartment building are common property, so access and anchor points are agreed with the OSI, KSK (housing cooperative) or management company. In a commercial building the owner or landlord does this
Can a glass roof be washed in rain or a dust storm?
No. Work at height is prohibited in heavy rain, thunderstorms and wind of 15 m/s or more, and in a dust storm the glass is immediately covered with new buildup. We move the visit to the nearest calm day
