Simple point though, how can they force you pay? they have no proof to say that you asked for your windows to be washed...

Note through the door today saying they've been cleaned. It's not been 6 weeks. It's not even been 3 weeks. It's been 2 weeks.

Have the windows actually been cleaned?

I'd pay them this time and tell them not to come back. Life is too short for an argument over £15. You'll save in the long run because it will take you a good few weeks to hire a new cleaner.

It might be that the window cleaner has a round and slotted the OP into it for the first clean. The date of the second clean might be earlier because that's the day they do their street on the round.
Our window cleaner does half a dozen houses in our street and does them all on the same day.

I would see how long before the next clean before I started shouting the odds.
