Seriously how much?! Window cleaner

[MrsPear]

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?

I pay 12 for front of the house only, as I do the bottom back ones and he has no way of getting his ladder thro for the top back ones. Without potentially damaging my brand new very narrow kitchen.

The £12 is for 2 large and 1 slim bathroom window

£8 here (SE)

So I'm in Australia and we had a quote for a 3 bed single storey house with 3 sets of sliding doors...$170 which is £90. £22 seems like a bargain to me!

£35 for for 12 windows, 3 patio doors and 3 velux windows. South east

NZ here and same sort of prices; I can't believe people are complaining about £22. I'd bite their hand off if window cleaner quoted me that. Our wages here in NZ are lower than the UK too.

£6 for just front windows in Lancashire 😂

£5 for 5 windows, the glass on the door and washing down the frames too. Not in London though

@Chocaholic9 really!! I thought wages were higher over there. I'm surprised at that.

Cost of living is so much higher in London they probably need to charge that to live!

Scotland - 14 windows, patio doors, sills, frames and front door £10

£14 for 11 windows and two doors on a 3 bed semi in Suffolk.

He does do it properly, up a ladder and cleaning windows sills and frames too. Once a month on average. I did cancel one who used the pole thing and let the drips fall onto the lower windows. He stopped cleaning frames too and was same price as the new one.

I pay £6 per month. It's just gone up from £5.50 for 11 windows and patio door.
He cleans the frames, sills and glass in front door too.
Bungalow in York's.

2 bed end terrace in the arse end of fuck (lincolnshire) £14. I think it's acceptable as he actually turns up on a regular basis, unlike our previous window cleaners.

£6 for us.

It sounds like a lot to me. Ours is £24 (outside only) which covers 7 windows at the front (plus front door) and 8 at the back and sides plus back door and 2 long sides of conservatory windows

It's extra when we have the conservatory roof done.

Just the front would be £7.

We're in Surrey and use someone who has a long brush on a pole using filtered water, so no need for a ladder.

Wow, we only pay £4.50 for a 3 bed terrace. It's 3 windows at the front and 3 at the back so not loads. I couldn't imagine paying any more than a tenner!

Mine only comes once every 3 months as have all my window cleaners in the past. I'm amazed at them coming every 2 weeks. We probably all have very dirty windows round here

Up north. £26.50 for 21 windows and 5 bi fold doors.

I paid £25 for a chain company to clean the windows once. We’re in Yorkshire and have a 5 bed detached (it is not a mansion though, it’s really not that large). I didn’t bother again because they just hosed the windows with a jet spray thing, they didn’t look clean at all. Traditional window cleaner charges £10.

I pay £40! 4 bed semi in SE. It’s the cheapest I could get after 3 quotes. They originally wanted £50 as we have a conservatory.

Does anyone do their own with a squeegee on an extendable pole? I'm tempted to get one but a decent one is upwards of £100 on amazon

@Topseyt

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

Ours is £5! We’re not in London though, in fairness.

Ha ha I’m £5 for a 3 bed house. Central Scotland whenever he appears(weather dependant) no way on gods green earth I’d be paying £20 a go.

£8, fortnightly. Manchester 4 bed large semi

£14 for SEast for 5 bed house
