I need a window cleaner!

What should you look for when choosing a reliable and reputable window cleaner or window cleaning company?

When somebody moves into a new area one of the things they need is a window cleaner for their new home.

Joining local Facebook groups and asking other people to recommend a window cleaner is now common throughout the United Kingdom. All you need to do is write a post, I need a window cleaner, and you will get many replies.

BUT and I say this with caution, you should checkout the recommended window cleaners website and also ask them some of the following questions before giving them the green light to start cleaning windows on your home.

1. Insurance: Check they have adequate insurance in place.
2. DBS: Find out if they have a recent DBS check.
3. Pricing: Visit their pricing page on their website, to get an idea of costings.
4. References: Ask for references from previous clients to gauge the window cleaner’s reputation and service quality.
5. Service Guarantee: Inquire about any satisfaction or service guarantees offered by the window cleaner, ensuring peace of mind for the homeowner.
6. Environmental Practices: If relevant, check if the window cleaner employs eco-friendly cleaning products or practices, aligning with modern sustainability preferences.
7. Payment Terms: Clarify payment terms and methods to avoid any confusion or inconvenience in the future.
8. Schedule and Flexibility: Discuss scheduling preferences and the cleaner’s flexibility to accommodate your specific timeframes.

Because conducting thorough research now has the potential to save you both time and money in the long run.

What type of window cleaning do you want?

You should also consider what type of window cleaning you require.

The safer method and without a doubt is the water fed pole method which uses purified water to reach high level windows without the risk of anyone falling. This method gives the very best long term results because it leaves behind no sticky residues from soaps which attract dirt. It also benefits from cleaning the frames at the same time.

The traditional method using ladders and squeegees is less common. BUT it is your home and you decide which one you prefer. With that being said most modern cleaners realise the dangers of falling from heights and finding a traditional window cleaner is not as easy as it once was.

Internal windows will require a skilled cleaner who has mastered the art of the squeegee!
