The UNESCO core is full of buildings that predate modern glazing, and that changes how we work. Pre-war shophouses have timber-framed windows, single-glazed panes that flex, and lime plaster reveals that will spot permanently if you let water sheet down them. We work drier here, we hand-detail more, and we do not put pressure anywhere near old render.
Access is the second constraint. Five-foot ways are narrow, streets around Chulia and Armenian are busy from mid-morning, and there is often nowhere to set up a pole safely once trishaws and pedestrians are moving. Most of our George Town work starts at 8:30 AM for exactly that reason.
A mix that is unlike anywhere else in Penang: café and boutique-hotel owners who need their frontage spotless before opening, heritage homeowners restoring shophouses, and residents in the newer blocks off Jalan Macalister and Jalan Penang.
Commercial frontages in the heritage core generally run monthly. Traffic dust on Chulia and Penang Road settles fast, and a glass shopfront on a busy street reads dirty within weeks even when the interior is immaculate.
The same starting prices apply across Penang with no travel surcharge: window cleaning from RM100, hard water removal from RM200 after a RM50 inspection, upholstery from RM50 per seat and pressure washing from RM250. Solar panel cleaning is quoted only after a site visit or drone survey, and high-reach dusting from a photo of your tallest room. Heritage shophouse frontages typically land between RM160 and RM340 depending on frontage width and how much timber detailing there is.
Where we do quote differently is timber and lime. Old frames take longer, so we allow for that in the quote rather than rushing and damaging them. Pressure washing on pre-war render is usually declined outright — soft washing only, or nothing.
Spot something we missed within 48 hours of the job and we come back and fix it free.
Purified water and proper technique. If your glass dries streaky, it is on us to redo.
Monday–Saturday, 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Same-day quotes on most jobs.
