Find a Window Cleaner in the UK

By Clive Carlton

If the windows on your house are dirty, it can give a bad impression to your neighbours and visitors. It gives them the appearance that you don’t care.

Of course you do care and that’s why you have decided to employ a Window Cleaner.

It could be that you are to busy and may not have time to clean your own windows. You may not have a set of ladders to reach the upper windows. More likely you’ve got better and more productive tasks to do!

Before you take on a Window Cleaner, here are a number of points to keep in mind.

Find out how regular he will be coming round. Some part time Window Cleaners only appear once a year when the sun is shining. Decide how often you want your windows cleaning and make sure he sticks to it.

Does he have Limited Liability Insurance? If he does not have insurance you might not want to employ him when you bear in mind that the law is a little hazy and that you could be responsible if anyone hurts themselves whilst on your property. This would obviously include anyone falling from a ladder.

Get the phone number of the Window Cleaner. If he won’t give you one, then you might want to look elsewhere.

How much will he charge you? Is it per house or per window?

Is the Window Cleaner a member of the Federation of Window cleaners? (Ask to see his membership card.)

How will you pay him? It’s likely that you won’t be at home during the day when the windows are cleaned. Will he come to collect cash on a specific day?
