To pay this much for my windows to be cleaned?

[NinkyNonk1]

A family member arranged for a window cleaner to clean my windows at my request. He has cleaned 4 windows and 1 lot of patio doors. He's charged my £60 and been here 30 minutes.

Don't know if I'm being naive but I did not expect it to cost that much! I was only expecting £20 at most!

AIBU to think this isn't reasonable?

That sounds ridiculously high. I pay £7 for double that number of windows

Bloody hell, our house has 6 normal sized windows, 2 massive windows, a set of patio doors and an annoying high up long window - we pay £17 for ours.

I pay £5 for my whole house

Yes we are in a big 5 bed townhouse which is awkward. We have a glass balcony, porch and 2 patio doors. They clean frames too and charge £12.

You are being ripped off!!

I paid a fiver for the whole house, including a conservatory, last time I had a window cleaner. £60 is unbelievable, unless it's for a mansion!

£60!!! I pay £5 for the high windows and do the ones I can reach myself. 2 on front, 2 on the back and a smaller on the side. This is crazy money and I doubt anyone actually pays them this. You are being taken advantage of.

did he have to pay for parking when cleaning them? did he need any special equipment?

I pay 15 quid and have 11 Windows, two doors plus patio doors. Tell him to piss off

You have been ripped off.

Can you call the family member who arranged this?

£7 for seven windows here.

What a swizz

Before I opened this thread I was prepared to call you stingy for not wanting to pay a fiver

We have a four bed house and pay £7!

Why so expensive? Is there some kind of window deep cleaning that I don’t know about?

You are being completely ripped off, I pay £15 for windows I could clean myself (single storey cottage) but it includes my conservatory roof so I'm pathetically grateful! Have you paid yet?

Bloody hell, that’s ridiculous!

We have 9 windows, one glazed door, one large set of patio doors and a front door with small glazed panels and glazing at the sides.

Our window cleaner charges £18 to do them all. That includes him cleaning all the frames and sills too.

That's a lot! We pay £11 for 7 windows and a set of french doors, and they normally wash down the front and back doors too.

Dont pay it.
It would be £10.00 tops.

Does it not depend where you live

Definitely too much. Ten windows and a set of patio doors here costs a tenner (and a cup of coffee!).

I pay £16 for front and back, one front door and two back doors. All frames and sills included as well

What??????!! £20 MAX. I pay £30 for more windows several of which are tricky.

Doesn’t sound right. I pay £13 for a 4 bed modern detached including 3 difficult access velux windows.

£7 for four windows here.

He saying he's cleaned my guttering so how much extra would that usually add to a price ?

We're in a 4 bed detached and only pay £5 for all windows and patio doors!

£12 here but I have floor length windows on both floors, bi folds and about 8 other windows. You are being ripped off.

£60 for 30 mins work 😱😱😱😱😱😱

You’ve been ripped off.
