YOUR WINDOW LIST

Start by choosing the sides you want cleaned.

A mark can be on the room side of the glass, the outside or somewhere you cannot reach. Say which windows concern you and whether you want an interior visit, an exterior visit or both. A photograph from one side may not show the full job. Include the number of rooms, approximate window sizes and any glazed doors you want considered, rather than describing the request only as a house clean.

For interior work, mention furniture, fitted blinds or shutters in front of the glass. Explain which rooms can be entered and who will provide access. Discuss anything that needs moving before the visit.

Describe how each window opens.

Sash, tilt-and-turn and bay windows have different layouts. Count the separate sections of a bay and explain whether a sash opens normally. Modern double-glazed windows can also have opening and fixed panes in the same frame. Include fixed sections in your list. The frame type alone does not tell us which faces can be reached from your rooms or from outside.

If a handle is faulty or a sash sticks, tell us and leave it in place. Cleaning is not repair work. Do not force a window open or lean outside for a photograph.

Show the route to the outside glass.

Explain whether the requested windows face a pavement, garden, courtyard or another part of the property. Mention gates, narrow side passages and any permission needed to enter shared space. A ground-floor window behind a locked gate is a different arrangement from one approached directly from the front. Describe the route and the requested faces so we can discuss access.

For upper-floor glass, give the floor level and describe what is below it. Include extensions or other obstructions in the enquiry. Higher windows need their access assessed before the work is agreed. A standard residential enquiry does not automatically include roof access, rope work or high-rise cleaning; ask about the specific window rather than assuming a method.

Cleaner wiping the lower frame of a double-glazed window

Ask separately about frames and sills.

If the frame or sill needs attention as well as the glass, list it explicitly. Ask whether the quotation covers those surfaces and which side is included. A general window-cleaning price should not leave you guessing about painted timber, exterior ledges or the spaces around an opening. Mention loose paint, damaged seals or another existing problem without treating cleaning as a remedy for it.

Agree the work before the visit starts.

We discuss your window list, the requested sides and access when preparing the booking. The cleaner needs a workable route to the agreed glass. Tell us about existing damage and any film, coating or care instructions you know about. If a deposit appeared after decorating or building work, describe it before the appointment rather than assuming ordinary glass cleaning includes scraping it away.

Confirm practical requirements for access, products, equipment and utilities with your booking. Keep agreed routes clear. Avoid buying supplies or moving heavy furniture before discussing what this particular visit needs.

Cleaner using a squeegee on an accessible exterior window

Make room without taking things apart.

Once access is agreed, remove small items from the working area and point out fragile objects nearby. Mention rooms that cannot be entered, other contractors, pets and entry arrangements. Leave panes, handles, shutters and fitted parts in place; they do not need dismantling to prepare an enquiry.

Check the plan for exterior work and weather.

Ask what will happen if conditions are unsuitable for the agreed exterior job. The decision depends on the work and access, so confirm the contact and any appointment arrangements when booking. Do not assume that all rain cancels a visit or that every exterior window can be cleaned in any weather. Interior-only work and a combined visit may also need different arrangements.

Compare starting figures with the complete quote.

Window cleaning starting prices
Property / requested workFrom
Flat£33
Maisonette£48
House£33
Detached property£46
Conservatory£50

A minimum charge of £42 applies. These are starting figures; ask for the total for your windows, requested sides and access.

The price list distinguishes property types and conservatory work. The minimum charge matters when a starting figure is lower than £42. Describe the windows, requested sides, size and access when asking for your total. Include any frames, sills or separate glazed areas you would like quoted, so the booking is based on the full request.

Tell us if you want a one-off visit or wish to discuss repeat window cleaning. Confirm the scope and available arrangement rather than assuming a fixed frequency or a discount. The price for your address and any applicable congestion charges also need checking in the quotation. A starting property figure is not an automatic price for every window or additional task.

Keep wider household jobs clear in the enquiry.

For cleaning around the home as well as the glass, ask about a one-off home visit. If dust and deposits follow renovation, describe them when discussing cleaning after building work. Moving out may suit a handover cleaning enquiry. Confirm the windows separately in each case; a wider domestic appointment should not leave exterior access or the requested glass assumed.

Send the Acton address with the window details.

Give your postcode, floor and entrance arrangements with the enquiry. We can discuss availability for that address and the work you have described. If you are enquiring about a nearby property, use its actual address rather than carrying over the access details from another home.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Questions about the sides, access and quotation

Can I ask for interior glass without an exterior visit?

Yes, describe the room-side glass you want cleaned. Make the requested sides clear so exterior work is not assumed in your quotation.

Should I count the fixed panes in a bay?

Include fixed and opening sections, with approximate sizes. A bay may contain several panes and different access arrangements.

Does the starting price include frames and sills?

List those surfaces in your enquiry and ask what is included. Do not assume the glass price covers every surrounding surface.

What does the £42 minimum mean for a flat?

The flat starting figure is £33, but the published minimum charge is £42. Ask for the total for your requested window work.

Can I book upstairs glass using only a photograph?

A photograph helps, but include the floor, window opening and the space outside. The access needs discussing before the job is agreed.

Who should I contact if the exterior appointment is affected by weather?

Confirm the booking contact and weather arrangements when arranging the visit. There is no universal cancellation rule stated here.

Which windows need attention?

Tell us the sides, approximate sizes and access at your Acton address. We can discuss the work and the full quotation together.
