To ask how much you pay your window cleaner.

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.

I had a quote 2 years ago for a one off clean of some, not all, of our windows plus conservatory of a rural farmhouse. The quote was £180 so I declined!

14 windows, 1 conservatory 3 large patio doors plus back and front doors. £27 about every 6 weeks

I (over) pay £20 every other month for my 4 bed bungalow with bifold doors, he does my roof light as well. I think he charges £16 but I pay £20 because he is a lovely guy and he does a good job.

East Sussex, £25. I feel hard done by now! Bifold doors, 9 windows and 3 veluxes.

£20 for 5 windows.

£15 every 6 weeks for 12 windows and one set of French doors. Sussex.

£4 for just the front every 4 weeks

11 windows, all quite large plus patio doors costs us £10 every 4 weeks or so. Glasgow.

Pole.

It's also a bog standard three bed detached. No difficult features etc.

I feel from reading these that I'm getting fleeced.

£12 for windowsand gutters cleaned?!

That would take a good hour depending on house size, and is a despicable price to be proud of paying someone who is self employed in a physical job with costs, insurance and taxes to pay themselves, as well as unpaid travelling time.

I would much rather pay a regular tradesperson a decent amount that will enable him and his family to have a fair means of living if he provides a good reliable service than quibble about saving a few pounds a month.

Choose the cleaning frequency that suits you, too. Why cancel a monthly clean because you think they only need doing every 6 months? Arrange that frequency with the wc at a higher price...

£8 per time 4 bedroom terraced, 9 windows (2 of them actually being double pvc glass door things)

Um, I don't set the price, nor did I say I was "proud" of paying it

They came out and did a free assessment and chose to charge £12.

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

That's a lot @EveryFlavourJellyBeans
I know my NDN (4 bed det) pays £15, and that's 11 windows, front door/panel and 2 box bay windows with french doors.

I asked her last summer as we were thinking of having ours done monthly.
We decided a bowl of fairy and a cloth or some windowlene spray and kitchen roll would be cheaper.

Large three bed with a lot of windows including two large bays. We pay £10 per month.

£12.

4 bed detached with a garden room (8 floor to ceiling windows)

£10 4 bed detached but it’s using pole thingy which I think is cheaper and quicker

9 quid. 3 bed detached

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.

£20 for 5 bed detached house with some skylights. East Mids.

20 windows, 5 doors, £33 with the pole method in SW. Here for possibly 30 mins with usually at least 2 in the crew. They do our gutters and solar panels too on request.

10 windows plus conservatory and porch - £13

Thanks for clearing that up , and there was everyone thinking window cleaners were getting £144 per hour

From previous posts, some people are, yes.

£25. Lots of windows including loft
Takes him ages
