So every 8 weeks 2 blokes turn up in a van with a ladder and some dirty water and vaguely clean the windows before relieving me of £13.
To get any value from this process I then clean the inside of the windows myself, an equivalent job.
But then there's the window frames and sills, inside and out.
So you're paying for 25% of a job and doing the other 75% yourself or leaving the rest and getting almost no benefit at all.
I mean what's the bloody point? I'd rather they came clean and just said it's a £50 job if done properly and it takes a half a day and you need to let us in, take it or leave it.
What's your experience of this whole charade ?

Have you never watched Robin Askwith films?
The point of window cleaners is to pop round when some busty middle aged woman has accidentally torn of her clothes, usually a frilly nightie, then her husband who is either a wrestler or just been released from prison pops home unexpectedly.

You want 2 blokes doing half a day's work for you and for that you'll give 'em £25 each? Talk about last of the big spenders  We pay £25 per month for the outside, including window sills & frames and, I must admit, they do a superb job. (and they even bring their own water!) |

I get the wife to do them, inside and out, she’s a bit wobbly on the third floor as my ladders are well past their sell by date but they still do the job so reluctant to purchase a new set.

Our window cleaner comes once a week (Fnarr fnarr, yakk yakk) and only costs three quid or so.

The point about our window cleaner is that he always turns up to remind me that I never carry enough cash in my wallet. I’ve had to empty the kid’s piggy bank on more than one occasion. He really ought to leave me a note to warn me when he’s coming.
