How much do you pay your window cleaner?

Particularly interested in answers from people in three bed detached houses.

Mine has gone up in price again. Latest bill is £24 for less than ten minutes work. 9 windows on the house.

Dirty water or not I can categorically state that the window cleaner who did my mothers windows and many others in the area had them sparkling

The system you talk about is in no way superior!!! It leaves water splashes on the windows and I hate it!

£32 pound here. Health & Safety is what he told me when I asked why he used the system he did and not the other method.

If it leaves splashes then the filter levels are wrong. That’s literally the whole point of the pole system. It’s pure water. The filtration removes any minerals from the water so it dries absolutely clear.

and why is health and safety a bad thing? Absolutely I don’t want my husband going up and down ladders when he doesn’t have to.

Pole.

It's also a bog standard three bed detached. No difficult features etc.

I feel from reading these that I'm getting fleeced.

I pay £22 for a similar sized house OP. It’s preferable to having to stand on the bottom of a ladder as 76 year old DH does it badly😳😵‍💫🫣

Deedledee1976 · 28/04/2025 19:58

Three-bed semi in Surrey: £25.

JoJo10 · 28/04/2025 19:57

3 bed semi detached, 8 windows £12 every 8 weeks.

NamelessNinja · 28/04/2025 19:56

£20 for 3 bed semi and conservatory. Every 6 weeks or so.

3678194b · 28/04/2025 19:52

We pay £12. Detached with more beds than you, so I think what you're paying sounds expensive. They use the water tank/hose method, not climbing ladders.

2 patio doors, 9 windows (they usually miss one) and glass panes in other external doors.

MilesOfMotivation · 28/04/2025 19:50

Once a month, four bed, end terrace, 3-storey house, back and front. £20.

Roselilly36 · 28/04/2025 19:42

3 bed detached bungalow, 8 windows, French doors & main door of course £15.

ThisUsernameIsNowTaken · 28/04/2025 19:41

£17 for 14 windows in thd southeast. Used to be £10 pre-Covid. I recently asked for a quote from them for cleaning the fascias, and they wanted £90!

End terrace 9 windows, £7 per month

ForgettingMeNot · 28/04/2025 19:37

TheDefiant · 28/04/2025 19:30

Monthly £10 for the house. Semi detached 3 bed. 2 large windows, 6 medium windows, 2 patio doors and a front door. Also does the office pod (1 window, 1 door). Scotland.

We've been paying £20 a time for 4 windows on a first floor flat😳these figures are making me think we are paying way too much, but all the local ones quoted us the same sort of price

I am sitting here 😳. Like you - 1st floor flat, 4 windows -£18.
Think I'll be cancelling.

TattiePants · 28/04/2025 19:26

We pay £20 every 4 weeks for a 4 bedroom semi in the NE. We have 16 sets of windows, 2 external doors plus French doors so it's a bargain.

TheMeasure · 28/04/2025 19:11

Just gone up to £20. Detached 4 bed house, 15 large windows, just outside M25.
Ladder and bucket.

olympicsrock · 28/04/2025 19:05

£55 - 5 bedroom house with conservatory and 5 lots of French doors.
south of England.

Maybe I’m getting fleeced ! Lot’s of glass though!

ThirstyMeeples · 28/04/2025 18:47

I now think I’m being ripped off! We pay £40 for a 4 bedroom detached house, 14 (small) windows.
I think I’ll try to get some other quotes now I’ve read this thread.
