Getting a commercial window cleaning quote in Melbourne usually takes longer than it should, because most contractors want to walk the building before naming a number. For the majority of buildings that is unnecessary. An address, a storey count and two footpath photos tell us the access method, and the access method is most of the price.

What comes back is a fixed figure rather than a range, with the elevations named and the exclusions written down. If your facade needs a look first, we will say so and arrange it at no cost. Before sending anything, it is worth knowing what commercial window cleaning costs and why two quotes differ so much.

The form

How do you get a commercial window cleaning quote in two minutes?

Six fields and a photo. Building type, storeys, suburb, how often you want it done, what you want cleaned, and how to reach you. That is enough to price most commercial buildings in Melbourne.

The form is short because long ones lose people quoting three contractors at once. Nothing is mandatory beyond an address and a way to reply.

Photos are the most useful thing you can add. Two from the street usually settle the access question on their own, and on anything tall a roof shot shows whether there are anchors.

Nobody rings you unless you ask. The reply comes by email with the price, the scope and the documents attached, ready to forward to whoever signs it off.

  • One wide shot of the elevation from across the street.
  • One at ground level showing entries and awnings.
  • A roof shot if you have one, above six storeys.
  • Access notes such as lift bookings or dock hours.

No obligation. Insurance and method statement come with the price.

Inputs

What do you need from us to price it?

Address, height, how the glass is currently reached, and how often you want it cleaned. Each one narrows the method, and the method is where most of the price sits.

What each detail tells us
What you sendWhat it decidesIf you do not know
Street addressKerb space, traffic, loading accessSuburb alone is usually enough to start
Number of storeysPole, platform, cradle or ropeSay roughly, we confirm from photos
Roof anchors or a cradleWhether rope access is availableWe check the roof during assessment
Inside, outside or bothHours on site and after-hours needWe quote both so you can compare
How oftenProgram rate against one-off rateWe quote both and you choose
Last cleanWhether the first visit takes longerPhotos usually show it anyway

In the CBD, Docklands or Southbank, mention any loading dock restrictions or lift booking rules. Those change the schedule more than the glass does, so knowing them up front means the quote reflects how your building actually works.

Site visits

When do you need to see the building first?

When rope access is involved, when the roof has to be checked for anchors, or when the facade has something unusual on it. Anything above roughly eight storeys is worth a look.

The reason is simple. On a tall building everything hangs on whether certified anchor points exist, whether the roof edge can be worked safely, and whether any cradle is still in inspection. None of it shows from the footpath, and guessing would mean issuing a number we might have to take back.

Unusual facades are the other case. Deep sunshades, curved glass, heavy fins and heritage joinery all change the hours involved, and photographs flatten the details that matter most.

Site visits cost nothing. We look at the roof, the ground conditions and the glass, and the written quote follows within a day rather than a week.

After the quote

What happens between the quote and the first clean?

You accept the scope, we send the documents your building needs, then we agree a date. Most buildings are cleaned within two weeks of accepting, sooner if the schedule allows.

  1. Accept the scopeConfirm the elevations, the frequency and anything you want added or removed. The price moves only if the scope does.
  2. Documents acrossCertificate of currency, safe work method statement and any site-specific inductions handled before a date is set.
  3. Date agreedFitted around trading hours, lift bookings and tenant notice periods rather than around our run sheet.
  4. Clean and close outWork completed to the written scope, then a short report with photos and anything worth flagging on the facade.

Wind that shuts a rope job down halfway costs you nothing. Whatever is left gets booked back in at the price already agreed, with no second call-out fee. Melbourne loses more rope days than most cities, and a contractor who bills for those is handing you a weather risk that should sit with them.

Questions

What do people ask before sending a building?

Is the quote free?
Yes, and that covers the site visit when a building needs one. Access assessment, roof checks and counting elevations are all on us, with nothing owed for asking. A written price arrives, and the decision after that is entirely yours to take in your own time.
How accurate is a quote based on photos?
Accurate enough to be fixed, which is why we quote that way. Photos settle the access method on most buildings under eight storeys, and the price is committed rather than estimated. Where an image leaves something genuinely unclear, we ask rather than guess or pad the number.
