How to hire a window cleaning pro in South Africa
- Choose insured operators for anything above ground floor
- Confirm scope: glass, frames, sills, burglar bars and security screens — bars add real time and should be priced in
- For estates and complexes, arrange gate access and contractor registration in advance
- Get a written quote by window count or property walk-through
- Ask about hard-water spot treatment if you have borehole irrigation overspray
- 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
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.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Exteriors: every 4-8 weeks on a regular round keeps glass consistently clear; quarterly is the practical minimum in cities or near trees and coasts. Interiors need cleaning 2-4 times a year in most homes. Homes near the sea (salt), busy roads (film) or construction (dust) need shorter cycles.
What is water-fed pole (pure water) cleaning?
A telescopic pole with a brush head fed by purified water — the cleaner scrubs from the ground and rinses with deionised water that dries without spots, so no detergent and no ladder. It's now the standard for residential exteriors in many countries, reaches 3-4 storeys safely, and cleans frames as part of the process. Traditional squeegee work remains standard for interiors and gives a slightly more polished finish on ground-floor glass.
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.
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.
