Window Cleaning Frequency Guide
Living on the Thames Estuary changes the answer. Salt spray, gulls and sand all shorten the life of a clean.
Recommended schedule
- Coastal (SS1, SS3, SS8, SS9): every 4 weeks
- Inland Essex (SS2, SS4, SS6, SS7): every 6–8 weeks
- Conservatories and skylights: twice a year
- Commercial frontages: weekly or fortnightly
Pure water vs traditional
Most Southend window cleaners now use water-fed pole systems with deionised water — no detergent, no smears, and they can reach 3 storeys safely from the ground.

- Terraced 2-bed: £8–£12
- Semi 3-bed: £12–£18
- Detached 4-bed: £18–£28
