Window Cleaners!!

[Smowball]

I haven’t had mine done for ages(shoot me now lol) and couldn’t find my last guys number, but then I saw on a local FB page a guy was advertising that he was starting up a new window cleaning company, so I asked him round for a quote. Then spoke to my MIL who says it’s really expensive? £25 for a mid terrace house, with also the loft conversion so that’s also two windows on very top floor. Is it really expensive??

[emmie]

i would have thought that very reasonable to be honest.

[aelmpvw]

i wouldn't want to spend more than a tenner

[emmie]

for a whole house???

[emmie]

its up to you smow, saves the hassle of doing them yourself.

[davebro]

My guy does 3 windows at the front - 1st floor - for a fiver.

[emmie]

i am surprised at how low the prices are..

[Smowball]

I’m shocked at the prices too. Maybe coz I’m London?

eight windows for £7.50 here in leicestershire

[burlyshirley]

I have a terraced house and only have the front windows done and the skylight above the front door, he charges me £2.50 !

[emmie]

your choice smow, or have a look around for someone cheaper.

[davebro]

They use "smart water" and long reach hoses/sqeegees. I don't think its as good a job as the old hands-on chammy but hey ho.

[emmie]

how do these people make a living??

[burlyshirley]

Is the £25 for a month ?

[davebro]

It takes between 5 & 10 minutes to do my windows. If I can make £5 in ten minutes that'll do.

[emmie]

i wouldn't have thought so shirley

[emmie]

oh well, looks like you have to look around for another cleaner....

[Smowball]

£2.50??

[Smowball]

£25 per visit.....

We stopped having a window cleaner years ago.
We do the downstairs ones ourselves occasionally, the upstairs ones rarely (leaning out from inside, no ladders involved), and the conservatory about twice a year.
I think £25 is excessive and wouldn’t pay it but have nothing to compare it to.

[emmie]

perhaps you could look around and get other quotes...
