£8 for a standard 3 bed semi. I just get them done every other month. He does a good job. DH used to do them on a ladder.....one day the ladder slipped and fortunately the garden wall was only about 3ft behind and halted the slide of the ladder. It was like a carry on movie with bucket of water and chamois flying everywlere. Happily DH did not go airborne.

However the annual task of washing down the plastic window frames and barge boards and soffits is due. DH will do this while I ....steady the ladder.

£9 for 7 windows and 2 patio doors. Won't do two of the upstairs windows because he says he can't reach them safely.sad
One thing is certain, it always rains just after he has been.

£10 for a 3 bed semi, sitting room has window plus French windows, usual bathroom, downstairs loo and half glazed front door.

Does a pretty good job, loved it when he told me "my usual monthly round is every six weeks" confused grin

Twelve large windows plus various patio doors and glass doors once a month for £10 with a machine left to dry non streak. The pigeons then go splat into them as soon as he's left . I call it window art. I've had visitors take photos of the detailed feathered outlines.

We only have the front done as we are on a main road. £5 for four windows and the front door , they also wash the sills.

The bloke that used to come here used a machine and cleaned the four front windows (he said he couldn't get round the backhmm) for £12shock every 6 weeks. I've since cancelled him

£7.50 (plus £1.50 tip) per month for front of terraced house - two large bay windows, square window of small bedroom, front door and small window adjoining it.

pompa that's a real bargain!

£14 for a three bedroom detached house with small conservatory/large porch, which I think is reasonable.

£12 for 7 windows, front door, French window. He uses a machine to clean upstairs as he is afraid of climbing a ladder. smile
My previous window cleaner retired two years ago, he charged £6 and was a lovely chap. I miss him. W. Midlands.

We have a 3br house with conservatory, 19 windows in all (Including garage). The guy we have uses a power wash system, he does not dry the windows off, but as he uses demineralized water they dry streak free. Mrs. P is fussy and she is well pleased. £10, which I think very reasonable, we have them cleaned each month. (He can clean gutters etc. if required)

I paid £8 for a 2 bed end terrace thats 10 windows and french doors with glass side panels.. we live in London suburbs I thought it was very cheap although now the guy has retired so my upstairs windows are grubby, haven't managed to find another one yet but I suspect it will be much dearer. Unless I can persuade OH to get up the blooming ladder grin

mid terrace house 9 sash windows £5 , whenever he gets round to it , we supply water and a dash of washing up liquid , he and a mate supply dirty rag squeegee and ladder , we have nets so don't care that the windows are half washed grin

How much do you pay your window cleaner and for how many windows?
Up to retiring last year and moving we paid £11 once a month in Leicestershire for a four bedroom detached with conservatory.
Been quoted £20 here in Lincolnshire for a smaller ( 3 bedroom detached) house but bigger conservatory.
