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 pay £12 a month for a three bed terraced with patio doors. In NW England.

TeenToTwenties · 23/12/2025 15:46

iirc A one off clean is at least the same cost as 3 normal visits.
A bit like a deep clean is proportionately more than a maintenance one for inside the house.

Catsandcwtches · 23/12/2025 15:46

I had quotes of around £120 in the SW last year. Which is why I now clean my own windows! It takes me 20 mins every few months

BeMellowAquaSquid · 23/12/2025 15:46

I pay £20 every month back and front south east for a 4 bed with patio doors what on earth are they cleaning?!

ItsFridayIminLoveJS · 23/12/2025 15:47

I pay a tenner per month. 3 bed house.. if you haven't had them cleaned for ages and want a deep one off clean.. my cleaner charges £30.
( West Yorkshire).

grinchmcgrinchface · 23/12/2025 15:47

£5 up north east for a 3 bed.

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 23/12/2025 15:47

Woah. Similar sized house in SE. £20.

Youmightnotliketheanswer · 23/12/2025 15:48

£7 every 4 weeks for a 4 bed semi with patio doors in Yorkshire. So less than your one off for a whole year.
How much would they charge for a regular clean (you could cancel after a few)?

TimeForATerf · 23/12/2025 15:49

I pay £16 for a four bed semi with a conservatory and several single storey velux, Yorkshire.

Who on earth pays that for windows, I’d get the hosepipe out.

RampantIvy · 23/12/2025 15:51

£18 for a 4 bed detached with conservatory in Yorkshire.

TartanMammy · 23/12/2025 15:53

That's absolutely crazy, I pay £8.50 for a 3 bed semi. A one off clean would be slightly more.

Do you live in a greenhouse?

GrumpyCowBag · 23/12/2025 15:57

I’m in South East and I pay £20 every 8 weeks. I appreciate a one off clean might be harder but wouldn’t expect to pay more than £40

madamegazelle1 · 23/12/2025 15:58

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 ?

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

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 🙄

Dinosweetpea · 23/12/2025 16:19

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

fruitypancake · 23/12/2025 16:19

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

ThisAutumnTown · 23/12/2025 16:19

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

zingally · 23/12/2025 16:20

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

Hillarious · 23/12/2025 16:21

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

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.

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 ,

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

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.
