There is no single interval that suits every home. A window beside a busy road may look dirty sooner than one in a sheltered garden. Nearby trees, birds, building work and how much dirt you are happy to see between visits all affect the decision.
Choose a routine at a glance
| What you notice | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Marks return quickly | Discuss a shorter interval, especially near busy roads, trees or building work. |
| Windows stay clear enough | A longer gap may meet your expectations; monitor the glass between visits. |
| An event or sale is approaching | Ask about a one-off visit and explain the current condition. |
| Roof or conservatory windows need attention | List these separately and confirm access and the surfaces included. |
Start with what you notice
After a clean, keep an eye on the glass over the following weeks. If marks soon become distracting, a shorter interval may suit you. If the windows stay clear enough for your needs, you may prefer a longer gap. Ask about the available schedule before committing to a regular service.
One-off or regular?
A one-off clean can make sense before guests arrive, ahead of putting a property on the market or after a long period without cleaning. Regular visits suit people who want to keep on top of the build-up. Explain the current condition when enquiring: a first clean after a long gap may involve more work than a maintenance visit.
Think beyond the main windows
Roof windows, conservatory glazing and difficult rear windows can be easy to overlook. List these separately, and say whether frames, sills or interior glass are also part of your enquiry. That makes it easier to compare quotes for the same work.
Agree access before the visit
Tell your cleaner about locked gates, pets and anything obstructing access. Whether you need to be home depends on the arrangements and which surfaces are being cleaned.
