    I pay £13.50 for inside & out. He comes about every 6-8 weeks, actually I'm not sure he sends me a text the night before.
    That is for front door, French doors, 4 small windows, 5 normal windows.
  • I'm amazed at the price variations! £12.00 every six weeks for outside windows and sills in a three bed semi. In Surrey. He is an off-duty fireman. Uses a cloth and a squegee.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    £30 for a friends house in Henley on Thames and the cobwebs were still on the windows when he finished .He did want £40 but she beat him down to £30 and it was awful job he did.And then u have to think most times its cash in hand .

    £5 every two weeks for a 2-bed semi (8? windows). Another £5 if we want them to wash the frames/sills.

    The Karcher has got to rate as the worse gadget I've ever bought!

    So many design flaws, doesn't suck up all the water, leaves smears, the water holder fills up way too quickly and the bung is a nightmare to get off and replace and it runs out of charge after just doing a few windows.

  • My window cleaner charges £10 for a town house with 9 windows and two doors. He uses the pure water system which so far has been brilliant. Dries with no water marks. He only does the outside. I didn't realise some did inside.

    Is the rubber blade rough ? As mine doesnt leave smears.if i press hard on the windows i will get smears when using the Karcher
    Agree with you about the bung thing but my Karcher does all my windows and i have over 20 windows not counting all the glass in conservatory.And do agree with emptying it but i dont find that a problem cause if it was a bigger chamber the Karcher woud have to be a lot bigger.
    Maybe your is faulty because of smears and not doing many windows.

    £17 once every two months for front and back plus the front and side door canopies and the back room glazed roof. Counting up, that is 4 bay windows. a glass door, 5 windows, a glazed roof, two door canopies and the front door transom.


    They use an extended brush system with water pumped from a truck.


    Fascia wiping etc is extra.


    And they are reliable, polite, accept payment by cheque and are the only company that I could find who would do the job, they now do most of my neighbours houses too.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • Can I please get the contact of those you are using? I have been asked 90 pound for three bed house inside and outside.
