How Much Window Cleaning Cost in UK

When you start searching for Window Cleaning Cost in UK, then it is vital to use the reliable, updated figures, and Buon Cleaning has gathered the latest from mid‑2025 to give you a fair and real world picture.

Window cleaning cost in UK varies depending that is it a home or business, and how many windows you have, their location, size and how you want them to be cleaned. It is also influenced by whether you combine the job with other home cleaning services, like domestic cleaning or even office cleaning services if it’s a business property.

1. Typical Rates for Residential Window Cleaning

The average cost of window cleaning is around £40 per visit, with most jobs taking about one hour. Its rates may vary from £30–£40 per hour, depending on the region and complexity.

A range is between £10 and £80 for a full residential clean, with a median cost near £45. Buon Cleaning can use this insight to price competitively while offering value to its customers near Nottingham and beyond.

Price by property type:

• Flat: £10–£50

Many window cleaning professionals also charge £15–£30 per hour, though simply ground-level work may stay at the lower bound.

2. Key Factors (Window Cleaning Costs in the UK)

Count and style of windows

The quantity of windows typically affects time. A bay window or French doors would count as multiple cleaning units. Cleaners can be priced by the pane or by the hour.

Height/location

Windows on upper floors or in tricky locations usually need some kind of water-fed poles, scaffolding, or a cherry picker, which adds cost to the price. Traditional ladder cleans are less expensive, but when you need to go in to access with specialist access, that adds additional cost.

Dirt level/initial cleans

If a window hasn’t been cleaned in months, it will take longer to remove, and you’ll get an additional charge for an initial deep clean.

Extras and added services

Sills, frames, and screens cleaning is often extra (between £1 and £5 per window each), conservatories, velux windows, internal cleans may or may not be charged at all. Some companies offer window cleaning as part of a house cleaning package to save you money.

Frequency of cleaning

Regular clients may receive discounts, expect a reduction of £5-10 per visit with both monthly and quarterly cleans. This is a benefit to both parties (the cleaner and the customer).

Location

Window cleaning costs more in London and the Southeast (around £20), while in the Midlands it is about £12, and up north it can be as low as £10 per session.

3. Commercial Window Cleaning Rates

For businesses, offices, or retail premises, commercial window cleaning services require more time, safety equipment, as well as staff. All Clean Services notes small commercial jobs cost £100–£250, larger buildings can cost over £500. 

Hourly rates for commercial work are around £25–£40 per hour, with per square foot or metre charges also used (roughly £1–£3 per m², or 10p–30p per sq ft).
