“How much will it cost?” is the first thing most people ask a window cleaner, and the honest answer is: it depends on your home. This guide explains exactly what affects the price of window cleaning around Selby, York and Goole, so you know what you are paying for and how to compare quotes fairly.
What affects the price of window cleaning?
1. The size of your home and number of windows
The biggest factor is simply how much glass there is. A two-bedroom terrace in Selby might have eight windows and a door; a five-bedroom detached house near York could have thirty panes, bi-fold doors and a conservatory. More glass means more time.
2. How easy the windows are to reach
Rear access through a locked ginnel, windows over a conservatory roof, or glass above a steep bank all take longer. Water-fed poles make high windows straightforward, but access still affects time on site.
3. How often you have them cleaned
Regular cleans every 4 or 8 weeks are priced lower than one-off cleans, because the glass never gets too dirty and we are already on your street. A first clean after a long gap sometimes takes longer, especially if there is stubborn grime or hard water staining.
4. Extras like conservatories, skylights and orangeries
Conservatory roofs, roof lanterns and skylights need extra time and care, so they are priced separately. Many customers have these cleaned once or twice a year alongside their regular window clean.
One-off clean or regular round?
A one-off clean is great before you sell, after building work, or to get a fresh start. But for most homes a regular round is better value: the price per visit is lower, the glass never builds up heavy dirt, and you never have to remember to book.
With Yorkshire Pro, regular customers also get frames, sills and doors cleaned as standard, a reminder the day before each visit, and a discount on their annual gutter clean.
Beware the cheapest quote
It is worth asking any window cleaner three questions before choosing on price alone:
- Are you insured? If someone is hurt or something is damaged at your home, you want to know it is covered.
- Will you actually turn up? Ask how they schedule rounds and how they let you know they are coming.
- What is included? Are frames, sills and doors part of the clean, or extras?
