How are the windows cleaned in Solihull?

Most professional companies (including us) in the area use a water-fed pole system with purified water.

The water is purified and is in big tanks inside the cleaning vans, a small pump pushes water up a pole with a nylon brush at the end which cleans the windows.

This basically means we don't use your outside taps and have everything to clean your windows on us for the cleaning.

Cleaning using this method means when the windows have been cleaned, they are left wet - and when the purified water dries, the glass dries clean because theres no minerals in the water

It’s safe.

It’s thorough.

And it cleans frames and sills every visit.

But like any method, it has limitations.

The window cleaning pole systems are designed to remove organic stains, dirt and dust from windows. They are not used to restore windows upvc or anything like that

That means this method won’t remove deep mineral staining, hard water marks, paint splashes, UV damage or mortar stains that you might see after a construction project.

The results from this window cleaning method can be awesome,removing green algae and all those spider webs from windows, frames and doors, but it's important to be realistic with what can be achieved.

What are the types of window cleaning service on offer in Solihull?

When looking for window cleaning in Solihull, it’s important to understand that there are typically two main types of service available:

1. Regular Window Cleaning (Maintenance Service)

2. One-Off Window Cleaning

They sound similar but you might be thinking is there actually a difference in how the service is delivered?

Or even the quality of the cleaning, like are you getting the job done differently?

The short answer is that you are getting your windows cleaned regardless. It's usually the level of service, and convenience that changes.

Solihull Regular Window Cleaning (Maintenance Service)

We offer regular window cleaning on a 6 weekly schedule, other companies do too.

But some might do 4 weekly or 1 monthly as a common frequency for cleaning.

But overall regular window cleaning is designed to maintain your windows so they never become heavily soiled in the first place and it's done as part of a scheduled plan where your home is added to what a window cleaner might call a route or a round.

Many of our clients value a 6-weekly schedule, because it works well for UK conditions — especially with pollen, traffic film, and general weathering in the greener surrounding areas like Monkspath, Hollywood, Kenilworth and Knowle etc ensuring their windows are kept clean across all four weather seasons.

With regular cleaning:

Your property is added to an existing round in your area
Pricing is lower per visit
Frames and sills are cleaned every time
Windows stay consistently presentable
Cost effective price per clean

It’s predictable, structured, and cost-effective long term and is typically offered at a reduced rate, but there are downsides.

Regular window cleaning typically comes with less flexibility.

If you require the cleaning to be completed on specific dates or days of the week. Even at a specific time of the day, this is typically not promised as part of a regular subscription window cleaning service.

Regular window cleaning suits homeowners who want their property to look well-kept year-round without having to think about it - a nice easy subscription that's set up once and sorted long term.

One-Off Window Cleaning in Solihull

A one-off clean is exactly what it sounds like — a single visit done once, no long term commitment and done at a specific date and time on the calendar.

One off window cleaning is usually suitable if:

You’re preparing to sell your home
You’ve got guests or an event coming up
The windows haven’t been cleaned for a long time
You don’t want ongoing maintenance
You need to have the clean on specific days and times due to accessing all of your windows. (homes without a side gate)

Because one-off cleans are often but not always dirtier, or require a guaranteed date and time, it sometimes means for a window cleaning business we are not that efficient with our driving because we have a promise with you for that date and that time.

For that reason, one off window cleaning services are typically priced higher than a regular maintenance visit that are added to a cleaning route.

If you want to understand a little bit more about the different services and their pro's and con's - we have written a comparison article going a bit more into detail so you can ensure you are choosing the right service for you - we want you to choose the right company for your needs

How much does window cleaning cost in Solihull?

We have all our prices for window cleaning transparent online and those prices fit the majority of houses we clean. Our prices online account for the standard and typical type of homes and this works 95% of the time

But to answer the question, honestly, the price can vary — but there is a clear reason why.

Most professional window cleaning companies, including us at Squeaky Solihull, base their pricing on two main things:

The size of your home (which usually means the amount of glass)
And how easy — or difficult — it is to access and clean those windows

That’s really what it comes down to.

Does Size Matter?

In most cases, the larger the property, the more windows it has.

A standard three-bedroom semi in Monkspath is naturally going to have fewer windows than a 4 bed detached home in Dorridge.

It's not about the location, it's about the amount of windows and the more time spent cleaning.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

It’s Not Just About the Number of Windows

Sometimes two homes can look very similar from the front.

But one has:

An extension across the back
A conservatory below the upstairs windows
Skylights in the roof
Or awkward access down the side of the house

Even if those features haven’t added many extra windows, they can make cleaning significantly more physically and time demanding.

Cleaning above conservatories or extensions often means using longer poles, swapping tools over, working more carefully, and taking more time.

So the price isn’t just about “how many windows.”

It’s about how practical they are to clean safely and properly.

Why Do Some Solihull Window Cleaners Charge Much Less?

You might see one quote at £15 and another at £40+ and wonder what’s going on.

Often it comes down to:

Whether it’s a one-off or regular clean
Whether it’s part of a structured round
The time allocated to the job
Are they insured and operating in a transparent professional way
Do you trust them at your home

Regular maintenance cleaning is typically more affordable per visit because it prevents heavy build-up.

One-off cleaning usually costs more because more scheduling is involved and often they’re dirtier to clean too, but not always the case.

We’ve explained the full breakdown here if you’d like to understand it in detail:

Is regular window cleaning right for me? (maybe it's not)

Over the years offering regular window cleaning we realise a routine schedule for window cleaning doesn't suit all people, and that's okay

When there’s marketing online, the common thing we've seen browsing about is that "proud homeowners clean windows regularly” but we understand that it's not as simple as that

Regular window cleaning doesn't suit every home, budget or lifestyle

If you are still unsure of regular or one off window cleaning is for you?

Please check out our full article on the topic so you can make the best decision for you and your home:

👉 Who is regular window cleaning best for?

Do you clean windows in the rain?

You might look outside on a wet Solihull morning and wonder if today’s really the day for window cleaning?

The short answer is Yes we do clean windows in the rain

Short bursts of heavy rain and continuous rain doesn’t affect the finish when windows are cleaned properly with purified water.

Typically when it comes to rescheduling appointments for window cleaning its usually just in genuinely unsafe weather like storms or extreme winds.

Payments after window cleaning

For regular window cleaning services you don’t have to do anything - you’ll be already set up on direct debit which is as simple as filling a 60 second secure online form by GoCardless, regulated by the FCA - you do this just one time.

Then the payment after each clean is completely hands off but you are still in control.

Once the cleaning is completed Angela in the office will request the payment using the GoCardless platform - you’ll receive an email notification after the cleaning showing that Squeaky Solihull has requested a payment for the cleaning, which will later leave your account 3-5 business days later.

Again all of this is super secure, protected by the direct debit guarantee from Gocardless who are financially regulated so everything is secure and safe.
