What does a window cleaner do?
A window cleaner cleans the glass — and usually the frames and sills — of homes and commercial buildings, either on a regular round or as a one-off clean. Many use a water-fed pole system, which cleans upper-floor windows from the ground using purified water; others use traditional methods with a squeegee, or a mix of both. What is included varies between businesses, so check each window cleaner’s profile.

When to hire a window cleaner
Many households and businesses book a regular clean on a set cycle, while others book a one-off clean before selling or letting a property, after building or decorating work, or at the end of a tenancy. Shops and offices often want their front glass cleaned more frequently because it is the first thing customers see.

How to choose a window cleaner
Before you agree a regular round or a one-off clean, it is worth checking:
- Which method they use — water-fed pole, traditional or both — and whether frames and sills are included
- How often they can visit, and whether they already cover your street or area
- Whether they hold public liability insurance, as they work around your property and glass
- How they will reach upper-floor, conservatory or skylight glass safely — anyone working at height should be trained and properly equipped
- How payment works for regular cleans, and what happens if you are not at home
- Reviews or references from other local customers
For commercial buildings, also ask how they manage access to the site and whether they have a risk assessment for the work.
What affects window-cleaning cost?
Prices vary between window cleaners, so compare a couple of quotes. The main things that affect the cost are:
- The number and size of windows
- How high or hard to reach they are, including conservatories and skylights
- Whether you want internal glass cleaned as well as external
- How often the windows are cleaned — a first clean after a long gap usually takes longer
- Extras such as frames, sills, conservatory roofs or gutters
- Access and parking at your property

Frequently asked questions
How often should windows be professionally cleaned?
There is no fixed rule. Many homes choose a regular clean every few weeks, and busy shopfronts are often cleaned more frequently. Properties near main roads, trees or building work may need cleaning more often. A local window cleaner can suggest a schedule that suits your property.
Do window cleaners clean frames and sills?
Many do as part of a standard clean, but some charge extra or clean the glass only. Ask what is included before your first clean.
What is water-fed pole window cleaning?
It uses an extendable pole with a brush head that delivers purified water, which dries without leaving residue. Because it can reach many upper-floor windows from the ground, it reduces the need for ladders. Some window cleaners combine it with traditional methods for ground-floor or internal glass.
Can window cleaners work on upper floors?
Many can, often using water-fed poles from the ground. Higher or harder-to-reach windows may need other access equipment, and tall buildings need specialist contractors. Ask the window cleaner how they will reach your windows safely — you should not be asked to supply equipment or help with work at height.
Do window cleaners clear gutters?
Some offer gutter clearing as an extra service, but not all window cleaners do. Check the profile or ask directly.
