Window Cleaning Price Guide – Know What You’ll Pay

Getting clean windows shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Knowing the price beforehand helps you budget and avoid surprises. Below we break down the typical cost of window cleaning in the UK and what makes the price tick.

Most cleaners offer two pricing models: a flat fee per window or an hourly rate. Hourly rates in the UK usually sit between £25 and £35, and the total time depends on the number of panes and how dirty they are.

What Influences the Cost?

First, the size of the job matters. A small flat with a few ground‑level windows will cost less than a large house with tall, hard‑to‑reach panes. In the UK, standard rates range from £30 to £60 for a three‑window flat, and £80 to £150 for a typical detached house.

Second, accessibility plays a big role. Ground‑floor windows are quick to clean, but higher or angled windows need ladders or special gear, which adds labour time and safety measures. If you need interior and exterior cleaning, expect the price to rise by about 20‑30%.

Third, the condition of the glass affects the bill. Stubborn grime, hard‑water spots, or paint splatter require extra scrubbing or special cleaners, and that costs more. Regular maintenance keeps the price low because there’s less buildup to remove.

Fourth, the type of service you choose matters. One‑off deep cleaning is priced higher than a regular maintenance plan. Many companies, including Dandy Fox, offer monthly or quarterly packages that bring the per‑visit cost down.

Finally, location can shift the price. Service providers in big cities like London may charge more due to travel time and higher operating costs. Rural areas might see lower rates but could include a travel surcharge if the site is far from the base.

How to Get the Best Value

Start by asking for a detailed quote. A good quote breaks down labour, equipment, and any extra fees. Don’t settle for a flat “per‑window” price without knowing what’s included.

Ask whether the company uses eco‑friendly solutions. Some cleaners add a premium for green products, but Dandy Fox offers an affordable option that’s safe for families and pets.

Check if there’s a discount for repeat customers or bundled services. Pairing window cleaning with a regular house clean often saves you 10‑15%.

Make sure the cleaner is insured and experienced. Cutting corners on price can lead to damage or missed spots, which ends up costing more to fix.

Schedule cleanings during the off‑season. Spring and summer are busy, so you might snag a lower rate in autumn or winter when demand drops.

DIY window cleaning can seem cheaper, but you’ll need ladders, cleaners, and time. A professional crew can finish a typical house in 1‑2 hours, saving you effort and reducing the risk of accidents.
