Had a very bad experience with Connor. He is a young lad and this shows in both his work and his business ethics. Through ongoing communication with him he continued to lie to me regarding costs, he overvalues his time immensely and his lack of customer support worries me. He is not someone I would want to hire again.

Very disappointing. The other poor reviews are very accurate. Turned into a total waste of my time as despite viewing the job in person and agreeing a negotiated price the tradesman rescheduled twice and then refused to do the job for no apparent reason. As a professional tradesman who had viewed the job and had all information required, this is totally unacceptable. This has been a complete waste of two weeks of my time when I could have found someone else to do the job. Would not recommend.

DO NOT USE! Unskilled Romanians disguised as Interior decorative ITALIANS, Made a mess and they do not know how to paint. Tried to loot me, I still paid them more than what was due just because I was afraid that they would come back and vandalise my building, Usually I would not leave a negative feedback but I do not want anyone to go through what I went through.

I have to say that Jay and his colleague (who's name I forgot - apologies) were extremely professional, courteous and quick. There was no waiting around, they came, had a chat about what we wanted, took the requirements, quoted and then came back the next week to do the work. We were more than happy with the work and the service, and would recommend to anyone.

Window Cleaning specialists - what you need to know
The clue’s in the name – if you’re after clean shiny windows, you might want to consider a window cleaner. A lot of people will use one if they’re short of time, especially considering that in most cases the cleaner will be able to complete the work without you needing to be there, or having keys to your property.
The other main reason would be accessibility of windows. If you’re not on the ground floor of a building, a professional window cleaner will have ladders (and be able to use them safely), or they’ll have sets of extendable brushes that can be used from the ground.
Lastly, if you own or manage a large commercial building, you might need someone to clean the windows regularly, and safely.
Your cleaner will likely use a combination of sponges or cloth covered brushes for the initial wash. A basic dish-soap and warm water mixture is usually enough to clean household windows, but additional chemicals may be needed for dirtier glass. Window cleaners are increasingly able to provide eco-friendly alternatives, so do feel free to ask about this.
The mixture will then be sluiced from the glass using a squeezee, before the glass is buffed with a traditional chamois. A chamois is a thick cloth made from a soft leather, which is non-abrasive and super absorbent, making it ideal for polishing glass.
Over time dirt and dust can actually etch into the glass and cause permanent scratches, making your windows harder to see out of and near impossible to clean thoroughly. Keeping on top of things with regular cleaning will avoid these problems and keep your windows sparkling. Window cleaners will often include the cleaning of ledges and frames too, so that your home or building looks the part.
Cost of window cleaning work
The average cost of window cleaning is £25 per hour, with overall costs typically ranging from £45 - £100. This can vary depending on the size and number of windows. The height of windows may also affect quotes, with professionals sometimes charging more for windows above the first floor. Although many window cleaners are now opting to use ‘water-fed pole systems’. This new technology allows them to reach any higher windows from the safety of the ground.
Planning permission for window cleaning jobs
You won’t need planning permission for window cleaning.
Insurance for window cleaning work
A reputable tradesperson will have public liability insurance as standard. This protects against any accidental damage to your home.
Questions you should ask your window cleaner
- Do they have public liability insurance?
- What is their safety protocol for higher windows?
- You may also wish to know which particular cleaning solutions they will be using.
