Understanding Your Window Cleaning Needs

If you’re wondering, ‘Where can I find window cleaners in my area?’, there are a few key points to think about before you hire someone.

Here's what to bear in mind in terms of window cleaning:

• How often you’d like them to visit (a one-off deep clean, now and then, or a regular slot).
• Which areas need doing, such as front and back windows, patio doors, conservatories, or skylights.
• Any hard-to-reach spots, such as windows above a conservatory, over an extension or on higher floors.
• Whether you want frames, sills, doors and maybe fascia boards cleaned at the same time, and if any damaged areas need attention such as window sill replacement.
• If you have delicate glass, leaded panes, or older windows that need a gentler approach.
• Whether eco-friendly products or purified water systems matter to you for a streak-free finish.

In some homes, damp and mould build-up around older frames can be an issue too, and the cost of any mould removal work will vary quite a bit. Mainly, what you'll pay depends on how much treatment you'll need before a cleaner can work safely.

If condensation is a recurring issue on certain windows, some homeowners also look into condensation removal options alongside regular cleaning.

Finding Local Window Cleaning Services on MyJobQuote

A handy way of discovering window cleaners near you is using MyJobQuote.

Here's what to do:

• Click the link above and enter your postcode to see window cleaners in your area.
• Choose the type of job you need help with, such as regular window cleaning, a one-off deep clean, or conservatory glass.
• Write a short description of the work (e.g. how many windows you have and whether you want inside, outside, or both).
• Add a few photos of the windows or any tricky spots so cleaners can give more accurate quotes.
• Select your budget range and the timeframe that works best for you.
• Confirm your contact details so local window cleaners can get in touch with their quotes.

MyJobQuote gives you access to the profiles of different window cleaning services in your area. You can read their reviews, ratings and even see photos of previous jobs before you decide.

With all this in one place, it’s so much easier to weigh up your options and pick a window cleaner who fits your budget, your timescale, and the level of service you’re after.

Check Window Cleaner Credentials

Once you’ve found a few window cleaners you like the look of, it’s worth checking their background before you book anyone in.

While there’s no single, formal licence needed to work as a window cleaner in the UK, many good cleaners still invest in training and the right cover:

• Public liability insurance in place (which means you’re protected if something gets broken while they’re working).
• Training or certificates for working at height or using access equipment (for example, roof ladders, MEWPs or water-fed pole systems).
• Health and safety awareness, including the safe use of cleaning chemicals and ladders.
• Strong reviews, ratings and clear photos of previous jobs on their MyJobQuote profile.

If you have older windows or extra glazing, such as secondary glazing, find out whether the cleaner is familiar with working around these systems.

On MyJobQuote, you can see a cleaner’s reviews, photos and essential details in one place, which makes it much easier to judge who’s careful, reliable and used to the kind of windows you have.

Window Cleaner Recommendations

In addition to using MyJobQuote to find local window cleaners, it’s worth asking around for recommendations.

You could ask your friends, family, neighbours or even work colleagues if they know of any good window cleaners or window cleaning services in your area.

That being said, always do your own bit of research on a person or company, as someone's verdict can be completely different from your own.

Clarify the Contract With Your Window Cleaning Service

Requesting a written contract from your window cleaner is really important, as you’ll know exactly what to expect. Plus, you’ll have clear details about what you’re paying for.

This agreement should outline the following:

• An itemised breakdown of all project costs.
• The scope of the window cleaning work.
• Payment terms.
• Information on guarantees and warranties.
• Cancellation policy (if any).
• The techniques and products they plan to use.

All in all, you want to be sure the window cleaner is the right person for you before officially hiring them.

Monitor the Window Cleaning Process

When the window cleaner starts work, check in on their progress from time to time so you can see whether they’re meeting your expectations.

When you speak to them, make sure they understand any specific instructions you might have (for example, if one window is faulty and needs extra care).

Let them know how often you want your windows cleaned. Do you just need a one-off job, or are you looking for someone who can come every few weeks?

You don’t need to keep checking constantly. A quick look now and again is enough to feel confident you’re getting what you’ve paid for.

What Can a Window Cleaner Do?

Here are some of the jobs that window cleaners can carry out:

• Regular exterior window cleans on the front, back and any doors or patio doors.
• Interior glass, frames, chandeliers, mirrors, and sills, including hard-to-reach panes on stairs or landings.
• High or tricky-to-reach windows, such as skylights, conservatories and extensions, using ladders or water-fed pole systems.
• One-off deep cleans after building work, bad weather or when you’re moving in or out.
• Extra glasswork like balcony panels, glass balustrades and uPVC fascias and soffits, where offered.

Some window cleaners may also offer extra services, such as removing bird droppings, pressure washing, commercial window cleaning or even washing and cleaning curtains and drapes.
