What affects the cost of window cleaning in Cape Town?

Why window cleaning is quoted per property in Cape Town: number of panes, access and height, burglar bars, salt and building residue, and frequency. How to get an accurate quote fast.

Quick answer

Window cleaning in Cape Town is usually quoted per property, not per window. The main factors are how many windows and sliding doors there are and how big, whether it's inside and out, height and safe access, burglar bars and security gates, how dirty the glass is, and how often you book. Photos on WhatsApp are the fastest way to an accurate quote.

The six things that change a quote

  1. Number and size of windows. Large picture windows and stacking doors take longer than standard panes.
  2. Inside, outside or both. Both sides is the most common booking.
  3. Height and access. Ground floor versus first floor, balconies, steep gardens and what can be reached safely.
  4. Burglar bars, security gates and fly screens. Working around bars and removing screens takes time.
  5. Condition. Salt build-up, hard-water spots from sprinklers, or paint and cement splatter after building work.
  6. Frequency. A regular clean takes less time per visit than a first clean after a long gap.

Why we don't publish prices

Two houses on the same street can take very different amounts of time. A per-window price list either overcharges simple homes or leads to surprises on complex ones. A quote for your actual property is fairer, and quotations are free.

How to get a fast, accurate quote

  • Send your suburb.
  • Take one photo of each side of the house from the outside.
  • Take a photo of your biggest windows and sliding doors.
  • Mention burglar bars, fly screens and anything above ground floor.
  • Say whether you want inside, outside or both, and how often.

Comparing quotes

When you compare quotes, check what's actually included. Are frames, sills and sliding-door tracks part of it, or only the glass? Is the company insured? Will it cover inside and outside? A cheaper glass-only clean often needs redoing sooner.
