How much do you pay your window cleaner?

[GingerPigz]

We live in a 4 bed detached house and, until today, paid £20 to our window cleaner who comes round when he can be bothered. I reckon it would take him about 10-15 mins tops to do our windows.

He came today, said something about now using a new shampoo (soap? Wasn't paying that much attention), maybe spent an extra 5 mins doing the windows but has charged us £25 - a 25% increase.

Obviously I get that prices are going up everywhere but am not sure if that is a bit excessive or actually an acceptable amount?

Oh wise MN folk, please let me know what you think...

we have been paying £15 every 6 weeks or so for a 3 bed semi in Jersey.

It seems ridiculously low tbh, but it has never gone up in 20 years

£15. 4 bed house with a lot of windows. Takes them (2) about 20-25 minutes.

£13 for a 3 bed semi.

£10 but I'm in a terrace so they only do the front: five windows (they will do the back if requested). The come every other month.

£9 for a 4 bed detached in Scotland using a pole system. Every 4 weeks I think

I'm in Scotland. 2 bed end-terraced house which became a 3 bed with a small sitting room and shower room when we added our extension, so 3 extra windows downstairs.

£8, once a month.

I live in NW, 3 bed end of terrace house, window cleaner comes once a month - £4.50

£10 every 6 weeks, 3 bed end terrace 9 windows, 2 doors. Pole system with de ionised water. South Warwickshire.

£25??

Mine charges £2 to do the front, and (if I've remembered to unlock the back gate) £4 to do the back as well, including the conservatory.

NE England, to add. Large windows (2 metres plus, wide)

I had a guy come round and quote me about £80 for our house to clean the windows and the facia boards. It’s a townhouse with 9 windows and French doors. I didn’t bother and haven’t bothered getting any other quotes as I think that is astronomical and would rather do it ourselves. We don’t live in London by the way.

£10 whenever they bother coming, probably every 6-8 weeks.

I have 3 double floor to ceiling windows and 8 smaller windows..

£7. 4 bed.

These are insanely cheap. Someone on my road paid £130 last month, all windows inside and out including loft extension.

£12 four bed. Extra for gutters

Can anyone recommend window cleaner in Southwell Notts area?

£10 for 7 windows including french windows, and two bays.

Victorian flat in East Scotland. They come very couple of months and charge £16 for two big bays and six big single windows.

I've given up on window cleaners. Used to have a great guy that did them the traditional way with mop and ladders, he washed the frames too and dried right into the corners. He retired and I tried a couple after that, who spent a very short time doing them with a pole and purified water, which supposedly meant they didn't need drying. A huge difference in the outcome, pole people didn't do frames, or wash into the corners properly and not drying them left drip marks.
I now do them myself, downstairs off a step ladder and hang out of the upstairs windows to do those. I don't do them all in one go or as often as I should, but at least I'm not being irritated by paying someone else to do shoddy work.

3 bed semi £10.50

4 bed detached, comes every 8 weeks.

Front of the house is a door and bay window, please 3 upstairs windows

A single window at the side

Back of the house is patio doors, a double window and a back door and 3 upstairs windows. We pay £21 and that has been the same for the 2.5 years we have been here.

3 bed semi
That pole filtered system.
£18. They are here about 20 minutes and do all fascias too. Better than last lot who used same system and were done in 5 minutes...windows never seemed to stay clean. Similar price.
South Wales.
Really interesting as usually things are cheaper here than in other places in UK but not window cleaning it seems!

I can't believe how little some window cleaners are charging!

We pay £35 for our 4 bed detached house.we have 18 large sash windows, a set of patio doors, front and back doors plus some smaller windows in an extension. There are two of them and they take about 30 - 40 minutes.

In our last house we had fewer windows and paid £25 but it had been that price for over 10 years.

3 bed detached. 13 windows. 12 quid monthly

I feel like I’m being ripped off… I live the south east and pay £40. 2 bay windows, front door, 4 ‘regular’ smaller windows and bifolds.

Might cancel now on the back of reading this thread…

4 bed detached. 12 windows and a conservatory £17 once a month.
