Quick summary

The short answer

An outside-only window clean on a Sydney house starts at $330 for a single storey, $440 for a double storey and $650 for three storeys. Those are the minimums. If you want the insides done too, the price is 1.6 times the outside-only price. Then add the callout fee for your region, between $0 and $80. GST is included and everything is rounded to the nearest $10.

We don't do inside-only. It almost never comes up, and the outside is where the salt, dust and pollen live.

What moves the price up or down

Storeys

Single storey from $330, double from $440, three storey from $650. A house that is two storeys at the back counts as two.

House size

A small house is 20% less than the base. A large house is 25% more. Think two-bedroom cottage versus five-bedroom home with a lot of glass.

Inside and out

Multiply by 1.6. We'll move furniture out of the way if you haven't.

Flyscreens

Add 15%. We take every screen off, clean the frame and glass behind it, and refit it. Security screens are done by lifting the sash out from inside.

Tracks

Add 15% if you want the tracks and sills scrubbed out as well as the frames wiped.

Roof access

Easy access takes 10% off. Hard access, like glass over a steep roof or a tight side path, adds 25%.

Property type

Terraces are priced at 70% of a house, semis and duplexes at 85%, granny flats at 80%. The minimum still applies. Apartments are quoted by the team.

Add-ons with fixed prices

Add-onSingle storeyDouble storeyThree storey
Louvre windows, per window (outside)$20$18$16
Colonial bar windows, per window (outside)$20$18$16
Glass balustrade, per panel$15$15$15
Skylight, outside only$50$50$50
Skylight, outside and inside$75$75$75

Louvres and colonial bars are priced per window because they take a lot longer than a plain pane. Inside and out on those is 1.6 times the outside price, the same as everything else.

Callout fee by region

Charged once per visit, never discounted, even if we do windows and gutters on the same day.

RegionCallout
Inner City, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West$0
Lower North Shore$30
Upper North Shore, Ryde and Northern Suburbs, South Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown, Sutherland Shire$50

Beachside and main-road homes usually go 3-monthly. Most others go 6-monthly. Add a gutter clean or solar clean to the same visit and both get 10% off.

What about doing it yourself?

You can. A decent squeegee is about $50, a mop about $40, blue rags about $20, detergent $5 and a pole $70 to $80. Call it $200 of gear, plus a day. For a double storey you also need a ladder and a longer pole, and that's where it stops being a fun Saturday. Tap water leaves spots as it dries, so most first attempts streak the moment the sun hits the glass. If you'd rather skip the frustration and the tool cost, that's what a pro is for.

How paying works

Nothing up front. We do the job, send your before and after photos, then invoice you by email and text. You have 7 days to pay by bank transfer, PayID or cash. No card surcharges, no deposit, no cancellation fee, and no charge for a wasted trip. The price in your quote is the price you pay. It only changes if the property is different to what you told us, and we always call you before we start. Our own mistakes are never passed on. All prices include GST.

Common questions about window cleaning cost

Is GST included?

Yes. Every price here and in the calculator includes GST.

Do I need to be home?

Only if we're doing the insides. For outside only, leave the gate unlocked and the outside tap free. We text the night before and when we're on the way.

How long does it take?

Outside only is about one to two hours on a single storey and one and a half to three on a double. Inside and out takes longer.

Do you need power?

No. Just an outside tap for the filter.

What about tinted or leadlight glass?

Done gently with a soft brush and filtered water. Nothing harsh.

Will the price change on the day?

Only if the house is different to what you described. We re-price it and call you before we start.

How much for an apartment or strata block?

Quoted by the team after a look. Insides and balcony-reachable glass are straightforward. Externals you can't reach need strata approval and our abseiling partner.
