Window cleaning is one of the few household jobs most people are happy to hand over: upstairs windows are awkward and unsafe to reach without the right equipment, and the British weather leaves glass streaked and dull within weeks.
Many window cleaners now use water-fed pole systems, which deliver purified water through a brush on a long pole so that upstairs windows can be cleaned from the ground. Others use traditional methods with a squeegee, and some offer both. Services such as frames, sills, conservatory roofs and gutters vary from one window cleaner to the next.

Window cleaning jobs local cleaners quote for
Regular exterior window cleaning
A round every four to eight weeks, often with payment per visit.
One-off window cleans
Before selling, after building work or when windows haven't been cleaned for a while.

Commercial window cleaning

Water-fed poles and traditional window cleaning
Water-fed pole systems use purified water that dries without leaving mineral spots. The window cleaner scrubs the glass and frames with a brush on an extending pole and rinses them, working from the ground. It avoids ladders for most two-storey homes and lets frames be cleaned at the same time.
Traditional cleaning uses a cleaning solution, applicator and squeegee, usually from ladders for upstairs windows. It can give a very sharp finish on glass. The right method depends on the property, access and the window cleaner's equipment.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Many households have exterior windows cleaned every four to eight weeks. Homes near busy roads, the coast or building sites may need more frequent visits; sheltered homes may be fine with less.
Regular rounds are usually cheaper per visit than one-off cleans, because the windows don't build up as much dirt and the window cleaner can plan routes around nearby customers.
Planning window cleaning
Window cleaners work year round, though very cold, icy or stormy weather can delay rounds. Rain doesn't always mean a wasted clean when purified water is used, but ask how your window cleaner handles bad weather.
If building work, roofing or rendering is planned, book a one-off clean once it's finished rather than before.
Safety and good practice
- Work at height carries risks. Ask how upstairs windows will be reached and what safety measures are used.
- Check that the window cleaner has public liability insurance.
- Tell the window cleaner about locked gates, rear access and any fragile glass or roofs.
- Agree how and when payment is made for regular rounds.

Guides for window cleaning
- How to clean windows without streaksClean windows let in more light and make the whole room feel brighter. The secret to a streak-free finish isn't an expensive spray – it's technique, timing and a good cloth.
- How to clean uPVC windows and conservatoriesWhite uPVC looks smart when it's clean and tired when it's grey or green. It's low-maintenance, not no-maintenance – and the wrong product can make it worse.
- Water-fed pole vs traditional window cleaningMost window cleaners now use water-fed poles, but many still carry a squeegee and ladder too. Each method has strengths, and the best cleaners choose based on the job.
- Gutter cleaning guideBlocked gutters are easy to ignore until water starts running down the walls. Clearing them once or twice a year is cheap insurance against damp, stained brickwork and damaged fascias.
- Roof moss removal guideMoss on roof tiles is common across the UK's damp climate. It isn't always urgent, but heavy growth blocks gutters and holds water against the roof. Here's how it's removed safely.
- Fascia and soffit cleaningWhite uPVC fascias and soffits turn grey, green and streaky over time, and it shows from the street. Cleaning the roofline is quick for a professional with water-fed poles and makes the whole house look fresher.
