Seriously how much?! Window cleaner

176 replies

I am in shock but I’m not sure if I have just lost touch with reality. We live in a three bed terrace which is 60s build in zone 6 London. We have three windows at the front and three windows at the back plus sliding doors (one fixed panel and one door) - max 2m wide.

The window cleaner wants to charge £22.

Is that right?

£30 for 2 windows. Zone 2.

Yes, 2 windows.

4 bed semi. London. 3 glass doors, 12 windows and he does the front door and sills. £20. I get it done every 6 weeks.

I only pay £3.50 a fortnight for the front windows on a terraced house! Shock

Sounds OK to me. What were you expecting it to be? A £5?

That's what I pay, he is shit though.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 31/01/2022 22:56

Mine has just put the price up to £7.50 for a 3 bed detached with conservatory. He comes once a month or once a fortnight depending on your preference and he wipes the frames down too. He also clears our guttering for an extra charge.

@cafedesreves

OMG I just paid £110!!!!! Feeling like a total fool!

What!!! Is he a proper window cleaner or a chancer ?

ISeeTheLight · 31/01/2022 23:02

Wow these prices are very high. When we lived in London we paid about £15 for a 3 bed semi.

Now in the North East, 5 bed detached - £7.50! Including 2 bay windows. We must have at least 15 windows in our house.

ThePug · 31/01/2022 23:13

I live in the south west and have a 5 bed newbuild, which admittedly does have a lot of glass. First company charged £25 but they either scratched the glass or weren't observant enough to point out it was already scratched. Then had two companies who quoted £40 and one (who was visiting my neighbours' building site fortnightly) wanted £80 Shock. Needless to say we get the windows cleaned about once every 6 months!

beautifullymad · 31/01/2022 23:15

That's exactly the going rate here.

primarium · 31/01/2022 23:19

We pay £8 for front windows only on our 3B house. For the back would be another £8. SE London, Zone 3.

Buzzer3555 · 31/01/2022 23:25

I pay 16 pounds for a 4 bedroom house plus conservatory in huddersfield..it sounds about right

Sportsnight · 31/01/2022 23:26

Well at least we’re not the only people paying £85. Inside and out, though.

Xmasbaby11 · 31/01/2022 23:28

£10 for 4 bed on Sheffield

Depends on going rate locally!

Paleodiet · 31/01/2022 23:29

£12 for three bed house. Two bays each with three tall panes + 5 tall windows + 2 small windows + 1 set French windows. City (not London)

JulesJules · 31/01/2022 23:33

£5 here, in the NE. They come when they feel like it but that's fine by me, the windows wouldn't get done at all otherwise.

Ibizafun · 31/01/2022 23:38

£65 for all windows inside and out 6 bedroom home

Apandemicyousay · 31/01/2022 23:39

£30 zone 2 london, 6 windows all ground floor and 1 patio door. Does insides too for extra £10. I’m going to get a Karcher!

Tulips21 · 31/01/2022 23:42

3bed terrace £11, West Wales

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 31/01/2022 23:47

4-bed detached, West Central Scotland. £10, once a month. Only does the glass, not the frames, doesn't do the veluxes.
I think here each cleaning company has its own territory Wink so I'm glad it's cheap.

Secondtimemama32 · 31/01/2022 23:49

@SpicyTinkle

Yikes! I'm in Scotland and pay £7 for a 5-bed.
I'm in Scotland and I pay £25
WhenPushComesToShove · 31/01/2022 23:49

£30.00 for 22 windows - south west

Chocaholic9 · 31/01/2022 23:51

£22 is a steal where I live (overseas) it costs upwards of £130 for a bedroom house.

Also in Scotland and I pay £6!
Chocaholic9 · 31/01/2022 23:52

*3 bedroom

TwentinQuarantino · 01/02/2022 01:00

Shocked at some of these prices!

£4 here for 6 windows. NW. He does it once a month, I'd like him to come fortnightly but he's too busy.
