Average window cleaning cost per window in the uk
Ahhh, the age old question of “How much does window cleaning cost?” Well the answer is as varied as the windows themselves and often why on window cleaner websites such as ours you wont find set prices. So its not possible to say how much the average window cleaning cost is in the UK, because when working out the price a window cleaner will need to consider quite a few different factors, such as:
- The window cleaning type needed, traditional method for delicate windows or the common reach and wash method.
- The number windows to clean, the size of the windows to clean, the type of building
- Accessibility of not just the window but also the property
- Frequency of cleaning (it’s cheaper the more regular you have them done as dirt builds up and is harder to remove)
- Experience, as experienced cleaners we are able to complete the work efficiently and safely which helps us keep prices down

Number of windows
When it comes to the average price of window cleaning, your properties number of windows will have a big impact on the cost. The more windows the more it will cost as it takes more time and effort. Size matters too, maybe your house only has a handful of small easy to access windows, or maybe you have 10 sets beautiful floor to ceiling folding patios doors.

The number of windows, surface area, time required can all affect the cost, but rest assured with Pristine Clean we will offer a competitive price along with a professional service.
Window type
When it comes to window cleaning, the type of windows you have can greatly affect the cost. Large pains of glass are the easiest to clean and thus cost less, if you have beautiful antique Georgian windows with individual squares of glass that are delicate this will require extra hand care and thus cost more. Make sure your window cleaner understands how your type of windows need to be cleaned so wether you have multi-hung windows, multi-pane windows or large glass doors you can keep your average cost of window cleaning down.
Frequency of cleaning
You might think more cleans means more money, but not necessarily! Our regular monthly customers benefit from a lower average cost of window cleaning because well maintained windows are easy to keep clean. So a regular monthly clean will cost on average less than a bi-monthly clean. Most window cleaners including ourselves offer a monthly (4 week) or bi-monthly (8 week) cleaning service.
For our commercial customers, keeping your storefronts, customer entry points clean can require a deep cleaning on the first go which will cost more, but the more regularly they are cleaned the cheaper the average cost will be, you can contact us for a quote on our regular commercial window cleaning service.
Window accessibility
How accessible your windows are will affect the average cost of your window cleaning. Why? Some windows can easily be reach by our reach and wash system from the floor, however higher windows spread across multiple floors need specialist skills and equipment thus increasing the price. Some specialised cleans require ladders or even scaffolding and the use of ropes for access. These extra considerations can affect the price.

Each quote is tailored to your own personal property and we will tell you which method we use to ensure your properties windows are sparkling. Here’s a brief overview of our methods.
Traditional window cleaning
Traditional window cleaning is probably what comes to mind when you think of a window cleaner, a ladder, a bucket, a sponge and a squeegee. This tried and tested method is great for cleaning easy to reach and delicate windows. The windows is first washed using soap and water, the frames are then wiped clean, finally a squeegee is used to remove the water. Microfibre cloths are then used to dry and polish the window. As all windows are hand cleaned they need to be accessed from the ground or by a ladder. This limits the types of windows that can be cleaned. If one is too hard to reach we recommend using the reach and wash water fed pole method described below. This traditional method can tend to cost more due to the time and risk involved.
Water-fed pole window cleaning
Water-fed Pole Window cleaning, also known as reach and wash by many, is a modern and trusted method used to clean windows of all heights. This method utilises a telescopic pole fitted with water jets and a specialised cleaning brush at the end. The pole delivers purified water directly onto the window surface, loosening dirt and grime. The brush then agitates the dirt, allowing it to be easily rinsed away. The key advantage of Water Fed Pole Window cleaning is its use of purified water, which ensures a streak-free finish without the need for additional cleaning solutions. This innovative approach not only provides excellent cleaning results but also reduces the risk of damage to property and increases safety by eliminating the need for ladders or scaffolding. Will it leave streaks on your window? Not at all. Will the windows be wet after cleaning? Yes they will but rest assured it will dry quickly and perfectly clear.
