    I don't care what he charges, I've found a pleasant reliable one & I'm not letting him go.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    £15 for all windows, front back and side including the conservatory (but not the roof) and the window sills, using a pole fed system. Comes every 4-6 weeks.

    Same here but £12 once a month

    I pay £7 each month for 5 very large windows & 1 balcony door back & front outsides only. My previous window cleaner (same location) charged me £7.50 each month for just 3 windows front only!
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    My window cleaner comes once a month. Four bed house £10. He does my daughter (who lives a two minute walk away) at the same time. She has same sized house plus conservatory £14.

    I always pay him for both jobs. I have a heck of job getting my money back from my daughter!!!! She never seems to have any cash..............:rotfl:

    I'm tightfisted and clean my own saving a small fortune {taking what some of you pay} :0)
  • Clean my own as well so might encourage me to charge myself each time I do it and at the end of the year OP my mortgage.... ;-)

    I had a window cleaner turn up once in a year.

    Guess annual cleaning turns out cheaper... guess I must have been a bad tipper!

    I do my own, that way i save money, ensure that its done properly, i can clean my frames and sills.

    Last summer i was at work and parked in a very pleasant street. I watched a window cleaner working the row. At one house he knocked on, no answer,,gave the windows barely a wipe.

    EDIT having said that, i would not advocate anyone doing their own windows/climbing a ladder if they could not do it safely and confidently. A fall from that height would likely have serious consequences.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
