Go inside and lean out but charge plenty.

Or buy a long pole

Same problem but from inside will not get all the window. do poles work on leaded windows. At present for leaded I use the applicator, followed by damp scrim then dry scrim. but with a pole this sounds like real greef.

If you use a pole try using a backflip as this will save time having to change from a applicator to squeege. some practise is required from using a pole though.

Windows above a conservatory=WFP ;D
Little else needs to be said.
Well, ok, you can do them off extension poles + aplicator and squeegee (poorly), your only real option if you don't have WFP, unless the windows are of  the tilt & turn type. Other than that you simply do not do what you cannot reach :-\

If a customer wants you to take risks that customer is not worth having.

They are the types who will step over your crippled body to get yellow pages out to look for the next window cleaner
