Window Cleaning Services Providers Quote For

Homes and businesses need different access, schedules and insurance, so say which you have when you request quotes.

How Professional Window Cleaning Works

1. Assess. The provider checks the number and size of panes, heights, access and condition, from photos or a site visit.
2. Choose a method. Squeegee by hand, water-fed pole from the ground, ladders, rope access or a platform for height.
3. Prepare. Floors and furniture are protected inside, and people are kept clear below work outside.
4. Clean. Glass is washed and dried, and frames, sills and tracks are wiped where included.
5. Check. Streaks and missed panes are fixed before the team leaves.

Confirm in each quote whether interior glass, frames, sills and tracks are included.

Window Washing Methods

• Traditional squeegee. Washer, scraper and squeegee. Used inside and out wherever the glass can be reached safely.
• Water-fed pole. Purified water pumped through a brush on an extendable pole, used on external glass from the ground.
• Ladders. For low-level work where a ladder can stand safely.
• Rope access and abseil. Trained technicians descend the facade on ropes. Needs suitable anchor points.
• Cradles and platforms. A building maintenance unit where the building has one, or a cherry picker where there is ground space.

Once-Off Clean or Recurring Contract

• Once-off cleans suit moving in or out, events, inspections and the end of building work.
• Recurring contracts set weekly, monthly or quarterly visits at an agreed price per visit.
• Published South African guides put recurring visits at roughly 10 - 25% cheaper than a once-off clean.
• Contracts suit shopfronts, offices and body corporates that need glass kept clean all year.
