How Much Should You Pay a Window Cleaner in Swindon? Beware the £16 Price Illusion

how much should you pay a window cleaner

If you’ve been looking for a window cleaner recently, you’ve probably seen prices advertised per month. On the surface, that sounds straightforward — and usually quite cheap.

But here’s the thing many homeowners don’t realise: paying monthly doesn’t always mean your windows are cleaned monthly.

In fact, a lot of window cleaners collect a fixed monthly payment while visiting every six or eight weeks. There’s nothing wrong with spreading payments out, but it can easily create confusion. Over time, customers may assume they’re getting more cleans than they actually are.

The result is that a price that looks low on paper can work out much higher once you look at how often the cleaner actually turns up.

This isn’t always done with bad intentions. Monthly payments are convenient, and they help cleaning companies keep things predictable throughout the year. The issue is simply clarity. When price and frequency aren’t clearly linked, it’s easy for homeowners to misunderstand what they’re paying for.

That’s why it’s always worth asking one simple question before choosing a window cleaner: how often will you actually be cleaning my windows?

Once you know that, it becomes much easier to judge whether a price is fair — and to compare different quotes properly.

As a rough guide, most typical homes in Swindon pay somewhere in the £20–£30 range per visit for regular exterior window cleaning. Whether you pay monthly or per clean matters less than knowing exactly what you’re getting.
