Do you pay for them or do them yourself?

I'm talking about cleaning windows. Here in Wales, it seems frowned upon to pay for a window cleaner, most people round here clean their own. However, in England (where I'm from), it was always the norm (well in my town), that everybody had a window cleaner!

I have only 5 windows and 2 doors, they didn't even look at the doors!..........Still charged £7..............

[tamborine]

£20 per month for 20 windows; outside only.

[welshlibranr]

£3.50 per fortnight up here - worth every penny.

[welshlibranr]

[tamborine]

[welshlibranr]

tambo, you are lucky!......mine just whizzed over my 5 windows, not a good job at all!.........and although I need a window cleaner, am glad they didn't return!........they were rubbish!........

Mine charges £12 for a small 2 bed house with a conservatory.

We had arranged for a window cleaner to come this morning but he never showed up! He was going to charge £6.50 for a 3 bed house with a glass porch so didn't think that was too bad. Anyway, my mother in law couldn't believe we were going to pay for one and is sending my father in law round with his ladder tomorrow lol.
Our windows are in desperate need of doing as we have birds living in the gutters above our bedroom window.
Welsh - that's quite expensive really. Which part of Wales are you in? We're in Llanelli

I pay a window cleaner to do the outside and I clean the insides myself. It is a three bedroomed semi-detached and he charges me £6. I think that is because I am an old customer and if you are a new one it is likely to be £10, so if he is only charging £6.50 I would say it was a good price.

£6 a fortnight for our 3 bed 3 storey house = bargain!

plus he's got a lovely cute smile ;-)

we live in a little 2up2down house, the window cleaner comes once a fortnight and will only do the front but only charges us £2 for the last 7 years maybe because we OAPs, the rest I have to do. I bought that Swiss window cleaning stuff [£12] about 2 years ago out of the Sunday paper it boast you only have to clean every six months which works on all the windows except the upstairs one that my dogs look out from that needs doing ever other day. Another bonus is the window cleaner does this part time as he works for the council parks dept but if you want a tradesman to do anything i.e.plumbing,decorating etc he knows one and will send them round !

I can't get a window cleaner for love nor money, I live in a three story house and they just don't want to go all the way to the top to clean the bedroom windows.
