Cost of Window Cleaning in the UK (2025)
Domestic window cleaning costs £5–£25 per visit for a standard house. Many window cleaners offer regular fortnightly or monthly contracts at a discounted rate.
Pure water vs traditional window cleaning
Most professional window cleaners now use pure water fed pole systems, which clean from the ground using highly purified water that dries without leaving residue. This is safer and more efficient than traditional ladder-based cleaning with a squeegee.
Regular vs one-off cleaning
Regular window cleaning contracts (fortnightly or monthly) are cheaper per visit than one-off cleans. Most window cleaners prefer regular customers and will often offer a discounted rate for a regular slot.
