Window Cleaning | Find Commercial & Domestic Window Cleaning Services Near You

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.

Rich and his team were super efficient. Our roof was leaking badly (water coming through the bedroom ceiling) Even though Rich couldn't start working on the roof straight away (due other work commitments) he came on an extremely wet Sunday, put the scaffolding up and did a temporary repair to stop any further damage to the bedroom. I couldn't be more pleased with the work carried out and for a reasonable price.

Hi I’m Joe of JAS Property Maintenance and also JSB Bespoke metal and woodwork. I have recently gone back to working on my own but I have been in the building trade since I was young working with family members then to college to pass my brickwork picked up a lot along the way working with many trades which I find makes me unique as I can come in and do most things you may need. The metal and woodwork side has been the more recent years even though I still did the building and house renovating on weekends but I can make gates, fencing, security bars, fancy art products and much more. Hope to do work for you in the near future Joe

Tips for future: Please do not go over dirty silicone with new ones without cleaning or removing the old ones. In future always provide your customers with a written quotation specifying the work. Always make sure to place a rag on the floor to protect surface and its very important to clean up afterwards.

Very pleased with newly installed sliding patio doors. The 2 gentlemen who installed it, were polite,friendly and helpful. They left the area clean and tidy. There was a slight problem with the lock, and they duly reported it to Louis Harbison. He came today to replace it but the barrel of the lock seems ok now. He is keeping the replacement barrel in case I have any more trouble. I would recommend this company for any work to be done

My job for Stefan was fitting 4m? of LVT flooring in my loft en-suite shower room. Wall edges were straight but the flooring needed to fit around a 900mm quadrant shower tray. The fit of the flooring around all edges, not just the shower tray, falls short of satisfactory but he advised me to buy sealant and finish the job myself. I have contacted another flooring contractor to see if he can salvage the job and make it more acceptable to a reasonable standard. Overall I am very disappointed with his work.
