How much does window cleaning cost in Leicester?
Straight answer: most homes in Leicester pay £15–£35 a visit, and a typical three-bed semi lands around £18–£22 for a full front-and-back clean. Here's exactly what drives the price — and what should always be included.
Typical prices by house type (2026)
| House type | Per 4-weekly visit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Terraced house or bungalow | £14–£18 | Up to 2 beds, full house |
| Semi-detached (3 bed) | £18–£22 | The most common price in our area |
| Detached | £22–£28 | More glass, more time |
| Townhouse / 3-storey | £26–£34 | Taller glass needs longer poles |
These are Shiny Fox's own fixed prices for Anstey and north Leicester, and they sit right in line with what independent cost guides report for the city — Leicester is one of the cheaper UK areas for window cleaning, typically 10–15% below the national average.
What changes the price
- Size and window count. More glass simply takes longer.
- Access. Windows over conservatories or extensions, or a locked side gate, can add time.
- Frequency. Regular 4-weekly cleans are cheaper per visit than one-offs, because the dirt never builds up.
- First cleans. If windows haven't been cleaned in months, the first visit works harder — some cleaners charge more for it.
- Front-only cleans. Only want the street-facing glass done? That should cost less — ours are priced down by house size.
What should always be included
A proper pure-water clean covers the glass, frames, sills and doors — not just the panes. If a quote sounds cheap, check it isn't glass-only. There should be no soap residue left behind (that's what attracts dirt back), and your price should be fixed when you're quoted, not adjusted on the day.
Gutters while we're there?
Gutter clearing in Leicester typically runs £50–£95 for a house, done from the ground with a gutter vacuum. It's cheapest to bolt onto a window-cleaning visit rather than book separately — see our gutter cleaning guide.
