Common questions

How can we help?

How can I make payment?+

We accept a range of different payments: bank transfer, direct debit (via GoCardless), and debit or credit card — whichever you find easiest. All of this can be accessed via your account, which you can log into 24/7.

What are the benefits of GoCardless?+

Set up is quick, easy and only needs to be done once. There's no need to worry about transferring payments anymore, as payments are only requested after work has been completed. Payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, and a notification is sent via email to let you know the amount requested and the day it will be debited from your account.

What are the benefits of paying by debit or credit card?+

Set up is quick, easy and only needs to be done once. There's no need to worry about making payment, as this is requested once the work has been completed. A notification is sent via email to let you know the amount requested and that your windows have been cleaned.

How do I arrange my first clean?+

Simply send us a little information on what you require, then we'll call at a convenient time to give you an approximate estimate on cost. We'll arrange to come and see you, confirm your quote and then arrange with you to carry out the work.

How often will you clean my windows?+

For residential properties, we operate dependable regular rounds on either a 4 or 8-weekly basis — you choose which suits you. For commercial premises, we offer flexible schedules tailored entirely to your business needs.

What happens after my first clean?+

You decide how often you would like us to clean your windows — for homes we offer a regular 4 or 8-weekly service, and for businesses we agree a flexible schedule with you. We'll send you a reminder email or text (whichever you prefer) the weekend before your next clean with a confirmed day we shall be with you. No more wondering when or if your windows will be cleaned!

What happens if I'm not happy with the clean?+

If you are not happy for any reason, simply give us a call and we'll promptly return to correct or redo them all again — and of course at no extra cost.

How often do I need to have my frames cleaned?+

Your frames are kept on top of throughout every clean. This is included in the price you are quoted.

How does pure water work? Why are my windows left wet?+

Tap water is filtered to meet national quality standards and is safe to drink, but it still contains minerals. When it dries on a surface, those minerals are left behind as spotting and water marks because they're too heavy to evaporate. We remove these minerals first, so the pure (demineralised) water evaporates completely, leaving no marks. Ultra-pure water also readily absorbs the dust and dirt found on glazing. We apply it with a soft brush, rinse again with pure water, and leave the glass to dry naturally to a speck-free finish.

How do I log into my account?+

You'll first require your customer number, which can be obtained at the bottom of every email or text we send. Then click ‘Customer Login’ at the top of this page, choose ‘Manage account’ followed by ‘Existing Customer’, enter your customer reference and a password of your choice, and click continue — you will then have access to your account.

What would I log into my account for?+

Your account is where you can see upcoming cleans, view transaction history, obtain quotes and invoices, make a payment, set up a direct debit and much more. You can even message GJ Window Cleaning directly and view previous conversations. We think window cleaning should be as professional and seamlessly easy to manage as getting a coffee or takeaway.

I've forgotten my account password — what do I do?+

Everything these days is protected by passwords and at times we may forget one. No need to panic — simply drop us an email with your customer reference and we shall reset it. You'll then need to follow the log in procedure, where you will be prompted to enter a new password.
