Window cleaning for homes, shopfronts and commercial premises

Choose residential or commercial window cleaning, then tell us which glazing you want included. Frames, sills, extensions, access and opening hours can all affect your quote.

Access strategy

How can your windows be reached safely?

HSE guidance gives water-fed poles and cleaning from inside as examples of ways to avoid work at height. Tell us about upper, recessed or obstructed windows so the building, ground and task can be considered before access equipment is chosen.

  • Show which windows are above extensions or other obstructions.
  • Mention where safe internal access might be possible.
  • Leave specialist access decisions to the on-site assessment.

Residential route

Which windows around your home need cleaning?

Rear glazing, side passages, extensions, roof windows and conservatory sections can change time and access. Include all the areas you want cleaned so your quote is not based only on the front of the property.

  • Include front, rear and side glazing as needed.
  • Mention locked gates, pets and narrow access.
  • Check whether conservatory roof panels are a separate service.

Commercial route

When should commercial window cleaning take place?

Public pavements, entrances, displays, deliveries and opening times can affect a shopfront or premises clean. Share the least disruptive work window and any busy access points when you request a quote.

  • Point out entrances and public crossing points.
  • Check whether internal and external glass are both included.
  • Include access, signage or approval requirements.

Scope detail

What does your window-cleaning quote include?

The word windows can hide several expectations. Check whether your quote covers glass only or also frame faces, sills, doors, internal panes, screens or conservatory sections.

  • Mention damaged seals, cracked panes or loose trim.
  • Say whether you want internal panes included.
  • Confirm any excluded glazing and how the completed work will be checked.

Questions

Useful answers before the next step

Does window cleaning always require ladders?

No. HSE says work at height should be avoided where reasonably practicable and gives water-fed poles or cleaning from inside as examples. The correct method still depends on a site-specific assessment.

Are frames and sills automatically included?

No. Glass, frames, sills, doors and conservatory sections should be listed separately so the included areas are clear.

Can windows be cleaned in any weather?

The decision depends on weather, ground conditions, equipment and the specific task. Unsafe conditions may mean the work needs to be rearranged.

How often should windows be cleaned?

There is no universal interval. Exposure, building use, nearby roads or trees, access, budget and the desired appearance all affect the conversation.

How are upper windows reached?

HSE guidance says work at height should be avoided where reasonably practicable. The building, ground, weather and task determine whether water-fed poles, internal access or another suitable method is used.
