What does domestic window cleaning include?

Do window cleaners only clean windows, or is the scope of their service broader than this?

A domestic window cleaner will often be able to offer services including:

• Standard glass and window sill cleaning

• High-reach window cleaning (including apartments and taller properties)

• Conservatories

• Gutter clearance

• Cleaning mirrors

• Internal glass doors

• Shower doors

If your property has difficult access points, such as upper-floor windows without direct reach, discuss this with your cleaner in advance to ensure they have the appropriate equipment to complete the job.

On Checkatrade, you'll only find trades who meet our high standards and pass up to 12 checks.

Your questions about window cleaning services answered

If you've not hired a window cleaner before, this section will help to answer some of the frequently asked questions you may have about this service.

Why have your windows cleaned regularly?

Regular window cleaning isn't just about aesthetics - it has several other benefits:

• A great first impression

• Removes dirt or debris that can cause damage to your windows over time

• It can help to control mould and allergens

• Helps to discourage pests from nesting in dirty window frames

How often should I have my windows cleaned?

Most homeowners have their windows cleaned either every month or every other month, depending on preference and location.

Do I need to be at home for window cleaning?

Not necessarily. Many window cleaners can clean exterior windows while you're out, as long as they have access.

Can window cleaners reach upper-floor windows?

Yes. Many window cleaners nowadays use water-fed poles to clean hard-to-reach areas. Remember to explain any access issues to your window cleaner when you make your first booking.

Do window cleaners offer additional services?

Yes, some window cleaners also offer gutter cleaning, conservatory cleaning (inside and out), and pressure washing, so it's always worth asking the question if there are other jobs you need help with.

How much does window cleaning cost?

It is often helpful to get a few quotes first. That way, you can be sure you're choosing the right window cleaner and are paying a fair price for the job.

Where you live, the scope of the work, and any extra services will affect the amount you are charged, too, so it's best to contact local window cleaners for an accurate quote.

However, as a guide, the average hourly rate for a window cleaner is around £25 - £40 per hour in the UK.
