Protective film removal service in Tokyo
We peel protective film from windows, sashes, doors, appliances, counters and fixtures, then clean the surface under it, for a fixed price per project.
A walk through the building, film by film
We take the film surface by surface, not room by room, so nothing is skipped. Window panes and sashes, aluminium door frames, stainless steel sinks and splashbacks, kitchen counters and cabinet doors, appliance fronts such as hobs and range hoods, mirrors, sanitaryware, glossy flooring edges where film was left, and switch and intercom plates. Each is peeled slowly at a low angle, which keeps the edge from tearing and leaving a strip behind.
The clean that follows the peel
A film comes away and the surface underneath is often dusty at the edges, with a little tacky ghosting where the adhesive sat. We wipe every uncovered surface with products suited to the material, so glass is cleaned as glass and brushed stainless is wiped with the grain. A peeled but unwiped surface still looks unfinished in the buyer’s photographs, which is why peeling and wiping are one job in our checklist.
When film does not come off cleanly
Film that has been left on for a long time, especially on windows exposed to sun, can tear into pieces or leave a thin layer of adhesive. We remove it in careful stages and tell you what to expect. If a coating or finish is damaged by the film itself, or by earlier work, that is part of the surface and we do not promise to repair it. Where residue stays, we note it in the photo report so the contractor can decide what to do.
Stickers, labels and tape go with it
Film is rarely the only thing stuck to a new fitting. Manufacturer labels, size stickers and curing tape sit alongside it, and we remove those in the same pass, using methods that do not harm the finish underneath. Brand markings printed into the product are not stickers, so we leave them alone. If you want a label kept, such as a warranty plate or a rating sticker, mark it or tell us beforehand.
Which order the trades should follow
Film is best removed after the other trades have finished and before the final detail clean, because protected surfaces should stay protected as long as work continues overhead. Many contractors book us for one visit that begins with peeling and ends with the detail pass, so the film comes off and the surfaces are wiped in the correct order. If painters or floor layers are still on site, tell us and we plan the sequence around them.
A fixed price from the building, not the hour
Send the plans, the floor area, a handful of photos showing the amount of film, or ask for a site look. We reply with a single price per project, with the list of surfaces included and the team size: one cleaner with a supervisor, two cleaners with a supervisor, or a larger crew for a whole building. The price is confirmed before the visit and does not move on the day.
Handing over to an owner or buyer
When a flat or shop changes hands, the owner often asks whether the film has been removed from the glass. Our photo report answers the question with pictures of windows, sinks, appliances and fixtures after the clean, so a contractor can pass the proof along with the keys. Landlords and property managers use the same report when a unit is prepared for a first tenant. Because every window and appliance is photographed against the same checklist, a missing or half-peeled piece of film is easy to spot, and the report gives you a clear reference if you need us to return within the 24-hour window.
Preparing the building for us
Please let us know whether water and power are connected, how the team enters, and whether protective sheeting on floors and stairs should stay in place. Keep access to windows clear of scaffolding or boxes. If there are items such as new appliances still in their cartons, we leave those packed. A short message with the number of floors and the rough count of windows is enough for us to plan.
What we do not do with film
We do not remove film from vehicles, and we do not strip window film that was installed deliberately for privacy, heat control or safety, because that is a fitted product and not a protective layer. If you are unsure which kind it is, send a photo. We also do not replace film or reseal edges. Our role is the peel and the clean, and we say clearly when a request goes past it.
Booking, areas and re-cleaning
We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma. Outside the 23 wards, travel cost is stated before the booking is final. Standard visits are 9:00 to 17:00, and out-of-hours visits can be agreed by message. Payment is by credit card, bank transfer, PayPay or cash, and companies can ask for an invoice. If a piece of film was missed, report it within 24 hours with a photo and we re-clean it at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
Do you remove film from windows that are already installed?
Yes. We peel film from installed panes and sashes and clean the glass and frame afterwards.
Will removing the film damage the surface?
We peel slowly at a low angle and use surface-safe methods. We cannot promise to repair damage that was already in the surface.
Can you take off manufacturer labels as well?
Yes, unless you ask us to leave a label such as a warranty plate. Printed brand markings are left alone.
How is the price calculated?
Per project, from plans, floor area or photos. The fixed price is confirmed before the visit, and a photo report follows.
