Overview

Window cleaning

This page covers window cleaning: the glass, frames and sills of the windows at a home or business, cleaned from inside or from outside.

Worth knowing

Worth checking before work starts

A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.

  1. Inside, outside or both

    Agree whether the clean is outside only or inside too, and which windows, doors and frames are included.

  2. Getting round the back

    Leave side gates unlocked on the day, or say how the cleaner can reach the back of the house.

  3. How often they call

    Ask how often they will come, and what happens if it rains on the day.

Questions

Window cleaning questions

Do window cleaners in Scotland need a licence?

They can. In Scotland, a council can decide that window cleaners working in its area must hold a window cleaner's licence.

Why do some window cleaners use long poles?

In Great Britain, window cleaning at height must be avoided where it's reasonably practicable, for example by using water-fed poles or cleaning from inside.

How much does window cleaning cost?

It depends on how many windows there are, how big and how high they are, whether it is outside only or inside too, and how often. Ask each window cleaner to quote for the same windows, so the quotes compare.

How do I choose a window cleaner?

Ask how often they would come, whether they clean the frames, sills and doors as well as the glass, how they reach upstairs windows, and how you pay.

Can a window cleaner clean a conservatory roof?

Some can. Ask whether they clean conservatory roofs, and give the roof's size and what it is made of when you describe the job.
