Do you have a window cleaner?

[Terminal_Boy]

... £18 for a two story three bed in Reading. I'm feeling a little ripped off now. Then again, I'm Northern so I've felt it for the ten years I've been down here!

£8 of that is for not burgling the place.

- myself ... but, as an alternative to using ladders, I am wondering, if there could be a device to attach to the pressure washer to accomplish this more easily ?
The professional slow water feed system, with telescopic poles are probably too expensive.

Was it you telling me about living in Longton/Fenton back in 2013?

Yes and you moved up near the Fenton mast

3 bed so 2 doors and 6 windows every 6 weeks or so @ £6.50 location = Norfolk

 

[Maundie]

3 bed semi and he comes every 4 weeks, charges us £6 but as he used to work with us (set up his business after we all got made redundant) he gives us "mates rates"

 

[Randomface74]

Oxfordshire 3 bed semi £16 every 2 months. Expensive but haven't seen anyone cheaper.

 

[ZG002]

2 bed semi, front and back every 4 weeks, £4.

Mixed experience, sometimes they are spot on others not great but it's cheap.

I have a pressure washer and a hose. I simply spray them down once or twice a year. No need to clean them as such. The rain does that for me most of the time.

 

[MoRT489]

4 bed semi, 3 stories, £35 once per month might need to reassess after reading this thread!

 

[Quinnaay]

7 quid front and back 4 bed detached Yorkshire every 4 weeks inc conservatory apart from upper back due to conservatory and not using a pole.

 

[Steedie]

£15 for a 3 story 3 bed in Oxfordshire, which is pretty damn good. He does an awesome job too, always properly cleans the doors and window sills and around the frames, which is great this year with all the spiders and cobwebs that build up

 

[Dyson]

£29 a month, for all windows inside and out, on a 5 bed detached. Takes two of them 30 minutes, so quite a reasonable amount.

 

[weathmatth]

2 Bed Semi, Milton Keynes. £10 every 2 months for all windows and doors.

 

[heeeed]

3 bed Terrace in Newcastle. Front and back £4 a month. Spot on and never had an issue. Some of these prices I would live with mucky windows or only do every few months!

 

[Puzzled]

£10 a month front and back but all they do is use one of those water fed cleaning poles.

Apparently they use filtered water to stop streaks as they don't dry them properly but I reckon it's just tap water. I get told to stop moaning

They do most of the houses on the street so must make quite a bit.

 

[Mark A]

Nope, the glass doesn't really get dirty as we don't live on a main road. I just do it myself twice a year and do the frames at the same time with some solvent cleaner.

 

[Rexxar]

One hell of a variation in prices, £15 every 6 weeks for ground and first floor windows at the front of a north london terrace doesn't seem so much now!

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

Yes and you moved up near the Fenton mast

Wow that was quite some time ago now! Left Longton in November!

 

[wedrum]

we did when i was a kid, im either the window cleaners or the milkmans.

 

[darael]

I gave up on my window cleaner a long time ago as I wasn't impressed with the results, even after me pointing them out a few times.

From then on I've been cleaning them myself. However as I grow older I am longing for a window cleaner again, but a good one. They charge about £5 to do the front of the house as well as the frames here.
