Despite an abundance of good window cleaning companies in the UK many people tell me they have difficulty in finding and keeping a good reliable window cleaner.This article offers simple guidance to help you find a reliable window cleaning service with minimum effort.

In the first instance it can always be useful to ask friends and family if they have a good window cleaner. If sombody recommends someone and they are happy with them and have used them on several occasions it is quite likely they will be fairly dependable. This should always be your first port of call.

There are many places to look for window cleaners these include local directories,parish magazines and other local publications,shop ads can often be useful.The internet and your local phone book should provide a useful source.

Having found a prospective window cleaner your next step should be to establish they are legitimate by asking a few questions.Lots of window cleaners knock doors to canvass business and although this is quite normal practice within the domestic window cleaning business it is worth remembering that not every one is who they say they are.Always check that they are carrying ID or at the very least have some company material on them(like business cards or flyers etc).If you cannot be sure of their legitimacy do not let them walk round your property.

The important questions to ask are:How long have they been window cleaning?Where do they live?Do they clean any of your nieghbours homes?Check their insurance policy and establish how they propose to access any difficult to reach windows without damaging your property (like breaking tiles or treading on flowerbeds).Will they clean your sills and frames?This always gives a much better job.

Do they look professional? A professional image normally indicates that they have pride in themselves and their business and this will ussually be reflected in their service.Cheap homemade leaflets and an unkempt appearance can often give clues to the possibility of a poor service.This has always been my observation over years in business.
