Edinburgh's coastal winds, frequent rain, and heavy tourist-season traffic create conditions that dirty windows significantly faster than most UK cities. For Edinburgh's sandstone tenements, dirty windows also allow moisture and pollutants to work into stone reveals, accelerating long-term damage. Regular cleaning protects the glass, the frames, and the masonry around them.
Window cleaning costs in Edinburgh run approximately 14% above the UK national average, reflecting tenement architecture, high-floor access, and specialist sash and case window work. Prices below are typical starting rates — your exact quote depends on property size, access, and frequency.
| Property type | Typical windows | Regular clean (from) | One-off clean (from) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenement flat (exterior) | 6–8 | £20 | £40 |
| 3-bed semi-detached | 10–14 | £30 | £55 |
| Detached property | 15–20+ | £35 | £70 |
| Conservatory roof (exterior) | varies | £115 | £170 |
| Skylight / Velux (per unit) | — | £10 | £25 |
| Commercial shopfront | varies | From £70 | POA |

Edinburgh's sandstone tenements are the city's most common residential form. Our water-fed pole system reaches upper-floor windows safely from ground level — up to 60ft — without ladders or scaffolding. We work regularly with property management companies for communal close and stairwell window cleaning.
Traditional sash and case windows in Edinburgh's New Town and Southside properties require careful handling. Our team uses soft brushes and purified water to clean glass, glazing bars, and timber frames without damaging paint or seals — one of our most-requested Edinburgh specialities.
Conservatory roofs accumulate algae and mineral deposits quickly in Edinburgh's wet climate. We clean both polycarbonate and glass roofs using pure water that dries spot-free. Velux and skylight units are cleaned individually from £10 per unit. Bundle with our gutter cleaning Edinburgh service for a full exterior package.
Offices, hotels, retail shopfronts, and managed buildings benefit from our Edinburgh commercial window cleaning contracts. We work around business hours, provide risk assessments and method statements on request, and quote based on scope and frequency. For exterior surfaces beyond windows, our Edinburgh jet washing team handles forecourts, cladding, and external surfaces.
Our Edinburgh residential service covers houses, bungalows, tenement flats, and new-build apartments. Technicians work carefully around furniture and blinds. Most Edinburgh homeowners book every 4–8 weeks, particularly in high-traffic areas like Leith Walk and Newington. For vacant properties between lets, combine with our end of tenancy cleaning Edinburgh for a full checkout-standard clean.
Commercial properties require efficient scheduling, safe working at height, and consistent results visit after visit. We provide written quotes, agree a cleaning schedule, and cover everything from ground-floor shopfronts to multi-storey office blocks. Edinburgh's large short-let market is also well served — landlords can combine window cleaning with our Airbnb cleaning Edinburgh turnaround service.
The key difference: commercial cleaning involves larger buildings, higher cleaning frequencies, and specialist access equipment. Residential cleaning is scheduled, routine, and priced per property visit — both are available across all Edinburgh postcodes.
Our primary method across Edinburgh. Water is filtered through a reverse osmosis unit until it contains virtually no dissolved minerals, then pumped up a telescopic pole to a soft brush that scrubs the glass and frame. Because pure water dries with zero residue, it leaves no streaks, no spots, and no detergent smears — just spotless glass.
The pole reaches up to 60ft from the ground, making it ideal for Edinburgh's taller tenements and multi-storey buildings without any ladder risk. Frames and sills are included as standard on every visit.
Used for ground-floor windows and tight-access areas where a pole system is less practical — such as recessed sash windows in Edinburgh's basement flats or closely spaced tenement frontages. Involves professional-grade squeegees, lint-free cloths, and specialist cleaning solutions. Used as a complementary method alongside pure water for a thorough finish on all window types.
Our pole system accesses upper-floor tenement windows safely from the ground. No ladders, no scaffolding costs — just a clean result on every floor.
We carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance. Every quote is itemised — no access fees added on the day, no hidden charges.
From Leith to Morningside, Stockbridge to Portobello — our team covers every EH postcode with the same fully insured, pure water service.
We cover all Edinburgh postcodes (EH1–EH17 and beyond). Our teams operate across every neighbourhood, including:
"Brilliant service on our Marchmont tenement. The team reached all four floors with their pole system and the windows were spotless — frames, sills, everything. Will be booking every 6 weeks."
Sarah M. Homeowner, Marchmont EH9 — tenement exterior clean, May 2026"Used TidySpaces for our Stockbridge New Town flat — traditional sash windows. They handled them carefully and were half the price of the last company we tried. No streaks at all."
James R. Homeowner, Stockbridge EH3 — sash and case windows, April 2026"We use TidySpaces for our Leith shopfront. Reliable, professional, always on time. They sorted the ground-floor and upper windows in one visit and the price was very fair."
Priya K. Business owner, Leith EH6 — commercial shopfront, June 2026Every 4–6 weeks is recommended for Edinburgh properties. The city's coastal wind, frequent rain, and road pollution mean windows gather grime faster than the UK average. Regular cleans prevent mineral deposits from etching the glass and maintain maximum natural light.
Window cleaning in Edinburgh starts from £20 for a regular exterior clean on a standard flat, rising to £30–£35 for a 3-bed semi-detached. Edinburgh runs approximately 14% above the UK national average. See our full pricing table above or call 020 3856 8285 for a free itemised quote.
