How to hire a window cleaning pro in South Africa

  1. Choose insured operators for anything above ground floor
  2. Confirm scope: glass, frames, sills, burglar bars and security screens — bars add real time and should be priced in
  3. For estates and complexes, arrange gate access and contractor registration in advance
  4. Get a written quote by window count or property walk-through
  5. Ask about hard-water spot treatment if you have borehole irrigation overspray
  6. Regular domestic cleaners often do interior glass — dedicated window cleans matter mainly for exteriors and height

Window cleaning is unregulated in South Africa; insurance and references are the practical checks, and access logistics (estate security, contractor registration) are part of hiring. Burglar bars and security screens on most homes add cleaning time that quotes should explicitly include.

Frequently asked questions

How is window cleaning priced?

Three models: per pane/window (most transparent for one-offs), per visit (standard for regular rounds — a fixed price for your whole house), or hourly (rare for homes, common for commercial). Regular-round pricing is far cheaper per clean than one-offs because maintained glass cleans fast. Always confirm whether the price covers exterior only or inside and out — that single detail explains most quote differences.

Do window cleaners do skylights and conservatory roofs?

Many do, as a priced add-on — conservatory or glass-roof cleaning is slower, needs care about walking loads, and often costs as much as the rest of the house combined. Self-cleaning glass coatings still need occasional professional attention. Ask when booking; not every round cleaner carries the right equipment.

Doesn't rain make window cleaning pointless?

No — rain itself is fairly clean; the spots you see after rain come from dirt already sitting on the glass. Pure-water-cleaned windows usually stay clear through rain, which is why professional rounds run all year. Most round cleaners offer a re-clean if windows genuinely spot within a day or two of the visit — ask about the policy.

Does a standard clean include frames, sills and tracks?

Exterior frames and sills — usually yes with water-fed pole cleaning, since the brush does them anyway. Interior tracks, screens and deep frame scrubbing are typically add-ons. Ask specifically: 'glass only' vs 'glass, frames and sills' is the most common source of disappointment. First cleans should always include frames — dirty frames drip onto clean glass with the first rain.

What does window cleaning cost in South Africa?

A standard home's windows run roughly R350-R1,100 per visit depending on size and whether burglar bars complicate access, with hourly equivalents around R100-R250. Metro prices (Johannesburg, Cape Town) sit at the top; many households fold interior glass into their regular domestic cleaning instead.

Do burglar bars make window cleaning more expensive?

Yes, meaningfully — bars and security screens mean cleaning glass through and behind obstructions, often removing and refitting screens, which can double the time per window. Quotes that don't ask about bars will grow on site. Count barred vs unbarred windows before requesting prices.
