Seagulls make a right mess of our loft extension windows. I've been searching for ways to do this, looking at angled brushes, long brushes. You would think that velux would have a video on their website or the windows would come with instructions BUT NO. Thank you Simon for your very helpful video. Now I know thanks to you.

Well done Simon. We moved to a house which had centre and top hung Velux windows. I thought the vent should release the top hung window and allow it to rotate, so I pulled the vent but nothing happened. Your video game me the confidence to give it a hard tug - and hey presto it worked. I now have clean Velux windows. Cheers Simon.

This is great thanks. I would add, if you have an electrically operated one, you need to release the chain to get it to pivot. I just did it and it's easy. Unclip the little plastic clip covering the chain attachment to the frame and the chain comes free. After, the chain slides back into place and close the plastic clip.

Thank you! I'm 3 years in a new build and I've been precariously propping my top hung velux. Now to find the slide bolts. My problem is the the wretched thing is directly at the top of the stairs so steps are out and long shafted squeegees are in.

Thanks Simon, We've just installed top hung Velux windows and was also surprised at the lack of detail in the cleaning section of the Velux maintenance page on their website, so your demo has given us the confidence to swing it through 180 degrees. We were stopping at 90 degrees worrying the whole unit was going to drop out!! No longer have to look at the bird pooh, yey!

'Leap of faith' indeed to pull down on that top handle ! For clarity, on our (older-style) GHL window you have to kind of pull down and rotate that handle forward, away from you (rather than just pulling straight down on it). Is it normal to have a foam rubber under the top handle ? On our window that foam pad had welded itself to the window which is why we never realised the handle was movable !? We had to break the (previously) sealed-shut foam pad in order to open the handle.

I think the foam pad is replaceable. look at velux site for details.

I replaced one of my window frames last year as the blind was damaged. I'm sure the newer designs don't have this feature - the swivel is only about 6" from the top of the frame, i.e. it allows the frame to swig open, but that's about it? It seems?

I don't understand why they're called top hung, mine's exactly the same and it piviots from the middle. I wouldn't dream of giving it a good yank and the whole frame falling into my room. I'm going to try a long brush.

Hi Lee, I know it looks like a centre pivot Velux, but it isn't. The clever people at Velux have provided a temporary use central pivot mechanism to allow top hung windows to be cleaned from the inside of the building. You have to pull the top lever down through an additional stop to disconnect the top hinge and activate the temporary centre pivot for cleaning purposes only.

Yes it is top hung, mine is identical, but they have a hidden centre pivot as he demonstrates. It's a clever design.
