How to judge a window cleaner
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- In Scotland, check the cleaner holds a current council-issued window cleaner licence: it's the only statutory public register in the UK for this trade.
- Ask for proof of public liability insurance; a reputable cleaner carries at least £1 million cover, but no law requires it outside Scotland.
- Check review recency across independent sources: for a regular round, recent reviews spread across many months matter far more than a single high rating.
- Look for a Buy With Confidence badge: independent Trading Standards approval that includes a criminal record check and verified insurance.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Unannounced knock at the door demanding cash on the spot: Trading Standards cite this as the primary window cleaner scam pattern.
- Refuses to provide a written quote or proof of insurance before starting work.
- Pushes hard to upsell gutters, fascias, or conservatory roofs before the first clean is done.
- Reviews are all clustered in one short period with none in recent months: suggests they have stopped working their round.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you Buy With Confidence approved or hold a council window cleaner licence (required in Scotland)?
- Can you show me your public liability insurance certificate before you start?
- How far in advance do you notify customers before each visit, and what is your usual round frequency?
- What happens if you crack a pane or cause water damage: how is that handled?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy window cleaner?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A window cleaner backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend window cleaners for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Window cleaners are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a window cleaner?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the window cleaner, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
