What affects the cost of commercial window cleaning?
- Number of windows and glass area — most contracts price per window or per m².
- Building height — single-storey glass can be cleaned with pure-water reach poles; anything above 10–12m needs MEWP or rope access.
- Access method — squeegee, pure-water pole, MEWP, and IRATA rope access have very different equipment costs.
- Cleaning frequency — monthly or 4-weekly rounds cost 20–30% less per visit than one-off cleans.
- Location and access restrictions — city-centre sites, permit requirements, and pedestrianised areas add cost.
- Glass condition — first-time deep cleans or post-build cleans with paint/mortar take longer.
