Price for one off window clean - rip off?

Three bed detached, quite small. No conservatory or double doors etc. Quote for one off clean of £150. Is this normal do you think? South west England

i thiught I might struggle with the igadpole as I’m rather short and have a bad shoulder but I managed to do the whole house, including cladding up to 7m high by myself.

£20 for a large 4 bed, 4 public rooms, plus conservatory in Scotland

Is he using Perrier water.

vanillalattes · 23/12/2025 17:56

We pay £12 in the NW, whether it's a one-off or not.

UxmalFan · 23/12/2025 17:54

One off would be more expensive, but that sounds unreasonably high unless your windows are unusually dirty or have paint drips on them or something.

ItWasntMyFault · 23/12/2025 17:34

I pay £11 a month in the south east for a 3 bed house.

Elmspringwater · 23/12/2025 17:32

The Igad will do the fascia’s, soffits and any shipload cladding you have too, still for less than £150.

I have just had a look online - interesting! Are they easy to use?

Depends really. We pay £25 pm for the Midlands but it was more for the first. 4bed property. Nothing special about it

Thanks everyone, just checked with DH and it also includes the ‘facias’ ( I think that’s the name for them) which are dirty

That’s insane for a 3 bed detached. We’re SW and have a 4 story 1880s 6 bed and paid £110 after the house had been painted, then it’s £40 every 8 weeks.

BretonStripe · 23/12/2025 16:28

Massive rip-off! Are they clearing the gutters as well?

4 bed 1930s semi here in SW and pay £35 every three months (inc conservatory).

Arseholes, I pay £15 a month and they do a good thorough job. They are taking the piss. Are they going to clean them with gold spray or something. I live in the south west too.

madamegazelle1 · 23/12/2025 16:26

Always been £15 since I started using him- even when he first came- didn't ask for more the first time. We have him every 6-8 weeks. £150 for a one off is alot- we pay less than that for a one off window clean and gutter and fascia clean at work which is the size of a 4 bed detached

ForPinkCrab · 23/12/2025 16:22

Im In the south , live in a single bay and forecourt terraced Victorian house , pay £8 a month for the small bay window and 2 small windows upstairs ,

rightoguvnor · 23/12/2025 16:22

Extortionate!
But I had a similar quote from a local shyster. I bought myself an Igadpole and now I do it myself.

Hillarious · 23/12/2025 16:21

You can buy your own ladder and window cleaning kit and still have change.

zingally · 23/12/2025 16:20

Sounds like a rip-off.
I pay £22 about every 3 months for my windows.

ThisAutumnTown · 23/12/2025 16:19

£15 a month for a 3 story detached house with a ton of windows in the NW

fruitypancake · 23/12/2025 16:19

That is obscene - I would never pay that much , unbelievable

Dinosweetpea · 23/12/2025 16:19

£30 for 4 bed semi plus conservatory (roof is extra!) South East.
That's extortionate.

PoorUncleBarry · 23/12/2025 16:18

I pay £8.50 for 6 windows and a door. I live on a main road so they're filthy within days. You're being taken for a ride. Windows do not require a "deep clean" as they're made of glass, UPVC and sometimes wood 🙄

jollygoose · 23/12/2025 16:16

Realistically would take about 40 mins my relative window cleaner would have charged about 40 then 25 for any further if wanted regularly

South West 4 bed detached £15 and didnt paid more for an initial
clean

Was that a one off cost or the price for a more regular arrangement ?
