It is one of the first questions every homeowner asks: how much does window cleaning cost in Dublin? The honest answer is that it depends on your home, but that does not mean you should be left guessing. In this guide we break down typical window cleaning cost in Dublin for 2026, explain what pushes a price up or down, and show you how to get an accurate figure for your own property.

Typical Window Cleaning Prices in Dublin (2026)
For a standard house, most Dublin homeowners pay somewhere between €50 and €100 for a professional exterior window clean. As a guide, these are our current starting prices for external window cleaning, including frames and cills:
- Up to 5 windows: from €50
- 6 to 8 windows: from €60
- 9 or more windows: from €80
Many customers also bundle their windows with gutter or fascia cleaning, which is usually cheaper than booking each service separately. Gutter cleaning for a terrace bungalow starts from €100, and for a two-storey terrace house from €120 to €140 depending on the number of bedrooms. You can see the full breakdown on our window cleaning prices page.
What Affects the Cost of Window Cleaning?
No two houses in Dublin are quite the same. A Victorian redbrick in Rathmines and a new-build semi in Lucan need very different amounts of time and equipment. These are the main factors that change the final price:
1. Number and size of windows
The more panes of glass, the longer the job. Large patio doors, bay windows and floor-to-ceiling glazing take more time than small casement windows.
2. Height and access
Ground-floor windows are quick to clean. Second-floor, third-floor and skylight windows need extended reach equipment, and properties with narrow side passages, conservatories or extensions can take longer to access safely.
3. How dirty the glass is
A regular clean every few weeks is quicker than a first visit to windows that have not been touched for a year or more. Built-up grime, moss residue or paint and plaster splashes after building work can add time to the first clean.
4. Inside, outside or both
Most of our domestic customers book exterior cleaning only. If you would also like the inside of your windows cleaned, take a look at our inside window cleaning service, which is quoted separately.
5. One-off clean or regular schedule
Customers on a regular schedule usually get the best value, because each visit is quicker and the glass never gets the chance to build up heavy dirt.
How Often Should You Get Your Windows Cleaned in Dublin?
With Dublin weather, traffic dust and sea air in coastal areas, most homes look their best with an exterior clean every 4 to 8 weeks. (Gutters are different: see how often you should clean your gutters in Dublin.) Homes near busy roads, on the coast or close to building sites often benefit from a 4-weekly schedule, while quieter residential streets can usually go 6 to 8 weeks between cleans. Businesses and shopfronts generally need more frequent cleaning to keep a professional appearance.
Is Cheap Window Cleaning Worth It?
It can be tempting to go with the lowest price, but there are a few things worth checking before you book any window cleaner in Dublin:
- Insurance: a professional company should carry public liability insurance in case of accidents or damage to your property.
- Safety: working at height carries real risks. The Health and Safety Authority sets out clear guidance, and reputable cleaners follow it.
- Method: pure water systems leave glass spotless without ladders or chemicals, and protect frames and cills.
- Reviews: real reviews from local customers tell you far more than a price ever will.
