When comparing quotes for commercial window cleaning it’s worth remembering that window cleaning quotes can vary quite a bit and understanding why helps you compare them fairly and budget more accurately.
Building Height and Access Method
Most low-rise buildings are cleaned using a reach-and-wash pole system. A pole and purified water are used by the cleaner on the ground. Larger multi-storey buildings are usually cleaned using a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) or even abseiling. Not only are there costs for the equipment and the extra labour required, there are also strict working at height regulations in place that have to be adhered to. The controls that have to be in place also have a cost and this is therefore included in the overall price.
Number and Type of Windows
Typically the price for a commercial window cleaning contract will scale with the size of the job. That is to say, the more windows at a property then the more time will be required for a complete clean. Specialist glass such as solar control glass, self cleaning glass and other unusual items like large frameless panels will also require a different approach to cleaning and therefore will cost more than standard glasses.
Site-Specific Requirements
Additionally, some sites may incur additional costs due to certain restrictions, such as having to complete a security sign in prior to work commencing. Alternatively, sites with restricted working hours or busy footpaths may require additional time to complete the work safely.
Contract Length and Frequency
As a rule, ad-hoc call-outs cost more per visit than a business that has entered into a contract with its customer. Monthly or quarterly cleans are charged at a lower rate than ad-hoc call-outs and can be included in the business’s budget.
