How Much Does Window Cleaning Cost in the UK? (2026 Prices)
A straight answer first: most UK homes pay £15–£45 per regular exterior clean in 2026. Here's what sits behind those numbers, what pushes a quote up, and how to tell a fair price from a cheap one.
Most UK households pay between £15 and £45 for a regular exterior window clean in 2026. A 2-bed terrace typically lands at £15–£22, a 3-bed semi at £20–£30, and a 4-bed detached at £30–£45. One-off cleans usually cost 40–60% more than the same job on a regular round, and interiors are quoted separately.
Typical UK window cleaning prices by property type
- Flat or apartment (accessible windows only): £10–£18
- 2-bed terraced house: £15–£22
- 3-bed semi-detached: £20–£30
- 4-bed detached: £30–£45
- 5-bed or 3-storey townhouse: £45–£70
- Bungalow: £14–£24
- Conservatory sides only: +£8–£15 · conservatory roof: +£15–£35
Prices in London, the South East, Dublin and Cork usually sit at the top of each range; the North East, Wales and rural Northern Ireland at the bottom. Ireland is generally quoted in euro at broadly similar numbers.
What actually changes the price
Reputable cleaners aren't guessing. A quote is built from a handful of measurable things:
- Window count — the single biggest driver. Most price per window (roughly £1.80–£3.20 each) and sanity-check the total.
- Height and access — three storeys, steep banks, locked side gates and long hose runs all add time.
- Frequency — 4-weekly is the cheapest per visit; 8-weekly, 12-weekly and one-off cost progressively more.
- Condition — a first clean after years of neglect often carries a one-off uplift of around 50%.
- Extras — frames and sills, Velux windows, conservatory roofs, gutter clearing and fascia washing.
Usually it's frequency and inclusions, not greed. Check whether frames, sills and doors are included, and what happens if it rains the day after.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Four to eight weeks suits most homes. Coastal properties, houses on busy roads and homes under trees benefit from four-weekly; sheltered rural properties can stretch to twelve. Longer gaps mean more build-up, which is why per-visit prices rise as frequency drops — the work genuinely takes longer.
Is the cheapest quote a bad sign?
Not automatically, but ask three questions: are you insured, is this price for exterior only, and are frames and sills included? A cleaner working without public liability cover is cheap for a reason, and an unusually low price often becomes a higher one once extras appear on the invoice.
Getting an accurate price without waiting for a callback
Traditionally you'd fill in a contact form and wait a day or two for someone to drive past your house. Increasingly, UK cleaners use instant-quote tools that estimate the window count from your address and price it against their own rate card, so you see a range on screen in under a minute. Squeegify is one of these tools — the estimate is generated from imagery and typical housing patterns, and the cleaner confirms it before any work is booked.
