Frequently Asked Questions
Can cleaning be done before trading hours?
Many providers start early or work after hours. State your preferred times so they are priced in.
Do I need a contract?
No. Once-off cleans are common. A recurring contract usually lowers the price per visit.
What should a window cleaning contract include?
Scope per visit, visit frequency, price per visit, VAT, how weather delays are rescheduled, the notice period and proof of insurance.
Who is responsible for public safety during cleaning?
The provider should control its work area. Agree barriers, signage and timing with the provider and your building manager.
Can one provider handle several sites?
Some can. List all sites in one enquiry and providers will say what they can cover.
