> Websites for window cleaning rounds, built to fill the gaps in a round street by street, take sign-ups without a phone call and stop the "when are you next coming" messages.

There are 2,850 window cleaning businesses across 330 UK local authorities (ONS UK Business Counts, SIC 81221, 2025, OGL v3.0).

## How customers choose

Window cleaning is a small, recurring, low-involvement purchase. Customers rarely compare in depth - they want someone who covers their street, turns up on a regular cycle and does not need chasing for payment. Most new customers come from moving house, their old window cleaner retiring, or seeing your van on the street. When they search they want to know three things quickly: do you cover my road, how often do you come, and roughly what does it cost for a house like mine. Commercial customers - shops, offices, letting agents - care about insurance, working at height and invoicing.

## What most websites in this trade get wrong

A window cleaner’s website is usually a single page with a phone number and a photo of a water-fed pole, which is fine until you want to grow the round. The value is in density - ten houses on one street are worth far more than ten scattered across town - and almost no site is built to fill a specific street. Sign-up needs a call or a text, payment is a mystery, and regular customers message to ask when you are next due. Each of those is a small job a website can take off your hands, and most do not.

## What the website has to do

- **Regular round sign-up online** - A new customer on an existing route costs almost nothing to serve, and should not need a phone call to add.
- **Commercial contract enquiries** - Shopfronts and offices bring frequent, predictable visits and invoice-based payment.
- **Add-on services to existing customers** - Gutters, fascias, conservatory roofs and solar panels raise the value of each stop.

## Pages

- **Home** - Areas covered, how often you visit, and a sign-up button.
- **Residential window cleaning** - Visit frequency, what is included (frames, sills, doors) and indicative prices.
- **Commercial window cleaning** - Shopfronts, offices and flats, written for managers.
- **Gutters, fascias and conservatory roofs** - Higher-value add-ons that are searched in their own right.
- **Areas and round days** - Which streets and villages, and roughly which week you are in each.
- **Paying your window cleaner** - How and when to pay, so nobody has to leave cash under a mat.

## Features that matter

- **Online sign-up with postcode check** - Adds customers to the round without a single phone call, and only where you already go.
- **Indicative prices by house type** - This is a low-stakes purchase; a price removes the only reason to hesitate.
- **Clear payment instructions or a link to your payment system** - Chasing payment is the part of the job most window cleaners hate.
- **Round schedule or "next visit" information** - Cuts the steady stream of "when are you coming" messages.
- **Separate commercial page with insurance details** - Business customers need to see cover and a working-at-height approach before booking.

Trust signals: Public liability insurance; Federation of Window Cleaners membership where held; Water-fed pole system explained; Photographs of your van and team.

Seasonality: Sign-ups rise in spring and when the clocks change. Rounds run all year, with winter frost and short days thinning the schedule; gutter and conservatory work peaks in autumn.

## Questions

### Can a website help me fill gaps in my window cleaning round?

Yes, by letting people on streets you already cover sign up online without ringing you. A postcode check and a short sign-up form mean new customers land on your existing route, which is where they are most profitable. You can then point leaflets and van signage at the site, so every house you pass has an easy way to join.

### Should my website explain how customers pay?

Yes, because chasing payment is one of the biggest time drains in window cleaning. A short page explaining how and when to pay, with a link to your payment system if you use one, cuts down on unpaid cleans and awkward knocks on the door. It also reassures new customers that the arrangement is straightforward.

### How do I sell a recurring contract on a website?

Publish the plans, say how often you visit, give an indicative price and make signing up take under a minute. Recurring work is bought on convenience and clarity, and most competitors make it a phone call - which is exactly the friction you can remove.

### Should I put my prices on my website?

Almost always yes. Hiding prices loses more enquiries than it protects, because people assume the worst and go to a competitor who publishes theirs. If your pricing genuinely varies, publish a range and explain in one sentence what moves it - that converts far better than "contact us for a quote".
