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.

9 windows and one set of french windows. All of the windows have at least 12 panes in sashes. £15 per month. We live by the sea so if it’s stormy they are filthy.

3 bed bungalow (NW) 9 windows,one set of patio doors,one front door. £8.00,he comes the first Tuesday of every month.Does a very good job too.

ThisCatCanHop · 28/04/2025 16:00

We’re Home Counties and usually pay £25 for a one off clean a few times a year as I can’t really justify it every 6-8 weeks! Which isn’t to say I think it’s an unreasonable price - it seems to be the going rate locally (one window cleaner wanted £75 for a one off or £50 to be added to the round!). We’re a 3 bed semi with 2 bays, 2 doors, one set of double doors, 3 Veluxes and 4 other windows.

Mynewnameis · 28/04/2025 15:58

The OP has asked what people pay because her WC costs have gone up. This is explaining why those costs would have increased, and what the costs involved

For those of you who claim "it only takes ten mins" well actually no - the price includes the travel time to/from your house, it includes the administrative time chasing payments from customers, it's the time spent scheduling rounds and working out when you can be fit into the schedule, contacting customers the night before to say we'll over in the morning - that's all involved in the workload, same as every other tradesperson out there.

If you think it's too expensive because you can do it yoruself with a rag and some windolene, absolutely, go ahead.. But people pay window cleaners because they need a service. and window cleaners deserve to make a living just as much as anyone else.

Thie overhead cost are irrelevant to the question. If the OP is asking for like for like comparisons then the prices wouldnt expect to wildy change
