5 Best Window Washers in Glasgow for a Spot-Less, Sparkling Facade
Our weather can turn clean windows into a speckled mess in no time. And if you’re in a 4-storey tenement, DIY cleaning isn’t character-building, but plain dangerous!
I’ve even tried looking for a good window washer in Glasgow via some cleaning service companies, but I wasn’t fully satisfied with the options. I needed the proper method for various windows, especially when height and the right kind of tools are involved.
This review is for anyone comparing pros who can handle tenements, sandstone villas, and shopfronts without vague quotes or vanishing acts. Here’s to a clearer, spot-free view!
How much does a window washer charge in Glasgow?
In Glasgow, a standard semi-detached house typically costs £15 to £25 per clean, while a tenement flat is usually £10 to £20. Prices rise for 3rd to 4th floor windows due to the extra reach and equipment needed.
If your windows haven’t been cleaned in months, expect the first clean to be roughly double the usual rate because it often involves deeper scrubbing.
1. Platinum Exterior Cleaning Ltd
Address: Bath Street
Contact: +441413548960
Hours: Open 24 hours
I hired Platinum Exterior Cleaning because I’m that homeowner who won’t book unless there’s a 100% satisfaction promise in writing. Their site literally says that, so my expectations arrived wearing a monocle.
Service-style-wise, they’re modernly kitted out with purified water and water-fed pole cleaning that dries clear. They’ll even pre-book internal window cleans if you want the whole place done properly!
I liked that they include frames and even doors as standard, which is the sort of detail a meticulous client will notice when they’re paying for sparkle, not just a good enough job.
They’re especially strong for awkward, high stuff like top-floor tenements, with experience reaching up to 63 feet off the ground. They’ve also got PASMA-trained crew members with access kit options if something is truly out of reach.
Platinum Exterior Cleaning is set up for both domestic and commercial work, with extras like uPVC/sign cleaning and pressure-washing packages if you want to do a full exterior glow-up in one go.
I’d recommend them to both homeowners and business owners who want a repeatable, systemised service with proper process and GoCardless-style payments for convenience.
That said, if you’re strictly after an actual money-back refund, their FAQs say they don’t do that. Instead, you’ll get a 24-hour quality guarantee with a free re-clean.
They cleaned to a high standard inside and out
Platinum Window Cleaning provided an excellent service at The Ritual Works. They offered a rapid turnaround, cleaned to a high standard inside and out, and were very professional throughout. Highly recommend!

The team were professional, efficient
We recently had Platinum Exterior Cleaning carry out a full internal and external deep clean of our large glass frontage and concourse at Film City Glasgow, and the results were fantastic. The team were professional, efficient, and clearly took pride in their work. Access to the windows is not straightforward, but they arrived fully equipped with specialist reach-and-wash hot water systems and worked methodically to get the job done to a very high standard. Both inside and outside panes were left spotless and streak-free, which has made a huge difference to the appearance of the building. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they caused minimal disruption to our working day. I would happily recommend Platinum Exterior Cleaning to any business looking for reliable, high-quality window cleaning services.

2. Window and Gutter Cleaning Glasgow
Address: 71 Kilbowie Road

Monday to Friday, 8 AM–5.30 PM

Sunday, 10.30 AM–6 PM
My colleague’s showroom glass is basically a Glasgow clock: it’s clean at 9 AM, and a bit grimy by lunchtime. His staff’s half-hearted squeegee attempts on the glass aren’t helping to boost sales, either.
He enlisted Window and Gutter Cleaning because it’s one of the few outfits that seems set up for regular commercial sparkle, not a panicky one-off clean. They offer modernised services via a water-fed pole setup for safer upper-level work.
My work pal made sure they’re fully insured and trained to work at height, so it’s one less worry on his mind. He appreciated that they advertise both gutter cleaning and pressure washing, so his showroom frontage can go from tired to sharp in just one booking.
He recommends them to shop owners who need a tidy cadence for their shopfronts, and to landlords who need someone comfortable with awkward access and higher-level jobs.
They also push no-obligation quotes, which is what someone comparing cleaners and trying to avoid overpaying for commercial cleaning wants. However, you’ll still need to message them directly for specifics and a tailored quote.
And if you’re picky about interiors or a strict 4 to 8-week rota, it’s best to confirm those details upfront before assuming they’re included.
The quality of the window and gutter cleaning was outstanding
Joe’s service was exceptional from start to finish. He made it effortless to arrange a visit and secured a very competitive price for the work at my showroom. The quality of the window and gutter cleaning was outstanding, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the roof of my delivery van. Truly impressive service and attention to detail. Will most definitely be used for a proper spring clean and will be recommended to everyone.

3. G1 Window Cleaner Glasgow
Contact: +447782174667, [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
My brother lives on the 4th floor and is fussy about it in the best way. If a window washer doesn’t use pure ionised water with carbon-fibre, water-fed poles for his panes, he won’t even bother with them.
G1 Window Cleaner ticks that exact box, thankfully. They exude a proper operator vibe, as they’re licensed, insured, and set up for both domestic and commercial work. They even lean into safer high-reach cleaning without ladders, which is great with Glasgow’s manic winds.
On the practical side, he can book one-offs, do regular cleans, or even do the ad-hoc approach of texting when things get really grimy. Payment options include card/online, PayPal, bank transfer, or cash (pretty convenient, right?).
They’re ideal for top-floor tenements, landlords needing end-of-tenancy sparkle, and commercial clients who need reliable washers for showroom glass. They also list 4, 6, and 12-weekly rounds if you prefer a set rhythm for your windows.
Do note that if you’re the type who wants a fixed arrival time, you’ll need to verify scheduling specifics upfront. And because they offer a mix of one-off, ad hoc, and regular rounds, consistency can depend on how you book.
Did a great job making the windows shiny and clear again
Perfect service. Did a great job making the windows shiny and clear again, had great communication throughout the process and were respectful of requests about time slot, being mindful of plants in the garden, etc. Thanks to Dave and team.

4. Westfield Cleaning Services
Address: 10 Duke’s Rd, Cambuslang
Contact: +447380336313
Hours: Open 24 hours
My mum’s the kind of customer who will absolutely notice one lonely streak, so I booked Westfield Cleaning Services for her flat because they promise perfect, or your money back.
They also do a proper final check before wrapping up, which is exactly the energy Mum wants when doing her window-inspection lap.
They run a modern reach-and-wash setup with 100% purified water, and beyond glass, they clean the frames and sills, too. The whole service feels sorted, with appointment reminders, invoices by text, and easy card payments like Apple Pay/Google Pay.
Their T&Cs specify up to £5M public liability. If you prioritise insurance and accountability, this detail is a reassuring tick.
Aside from my Mum, I’d recommend them for houses, low-rise flats, and commercial shopfronts or offices that want a clean, repeatable service (4 or 8-weekly cycles). Bonus points if you want to bundle extras like gutter cleaning, conservatory cleaning, solar panel cleaning, and pressure washing.
But if you’re in a top-floor tenement, make sure to read the fine print. Their terms say they don’t offer cleaning above 2 stories, which can be a deal-breaker for 4-storey buildings.
Would highly recommend
Met Ryan on the off chance and asked if he could do a wee job for me. No problem, and I’m delighted with it, would highly recommend.

Always a great service
Been a regular with Ryan for a while now, after a continuous letdown by my building estates team. Always get a great service and reg updates on the next clean. Windows are always spotless. Highly recommend if you are in need of a reliable window cleaner!

5. G71 Cleaning Services Ltd
Address: 4 Baillie Wynd, Uddingston
Contact: +447342958733
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 AM–5 PM
My neighbour’s the fussy sort who won’t do maintenance cleans until the window washers have done a proper reset first, and to be honest, who can blame her in this weather?
Luckily, G71 Cleaning Services precisely offers a deeper one-off “first clean” service to bring windows and frames up to standard before the regular cleaning rhythm kicks in. The boring bits won her over: PVC frames, sills, and doors are included in the clean.
She watched in satisfaction as the team wiped down lower sills so they wouldn’t just look clean from the street. They used a modern deionised pure-water approach for a streak-free finish, too.
On the admin side, my neighbour appreciated the cashless payment, taken automatically after each clean via GoCardless. Cleaning starts at around £12.50 per month, which is pretty affordable for a single mum.
She recommends them for homeowners like her and small business owners who want a reliable, insured service that’s meticulous on frames and finishes. They also do gutters, conservatories, and soffits/fascias for full exterior glow-ups.
That said, because their pole kit is described as reaching around 3 storeys for some exterior work, I’d double-check suitability if you’re in a 4-storey top-floor tenement.
I would not hesitate to use G71 in the future
Delighted with the service and the work carried out by Gordon. An excellent job all round. I would highly recommend it, and I would not hesitate to use G71 in the future. Gordon was very professional and knowledgeable in his field.
