PVC frames ground floor, Yes.

1st floor sometimes, depends on the job.

Above that, No.


Also got to take into account if they have those dreaded vents.

UPVC First clean - always and thoroughly including vented windows.

Then:-

Approximately every other time.

thats what i think, you just have to be careful not to splash the top frame when your doing the top of the window or that will cost you problems also...

Depends.  I do top frame where reasonably practical.  Sometimes it's too awkward to do if brickwork is too close and sometimes tile hanging is too close so I leave it on such jobs as the quality control or the danger of breaking tiles is too difficult.  Occasionally I won't do it if I'm in a hurry too.  Leaving it once in a while won't hurt so long as it's usually done regularly.

i always do the top frame, and i even do the vents on downstairs, on the first clean i do the vents first, then when i come back to do the final rinse of the glass i give the vent a wipe with a scrim. never had a problem and it makes the job look better as well.
