Moving into a new home in Telford is a sensible time to think about the exterior windows. You do not have to commit to a regular service immediately: a one-off exterior window clean can be a practical starting point, and you can decide later whether a regular six-weekly clean suits you.
Moving Home Window Cleaning Guide
When should new homeowners book window cleaning?
There is no single correct day. The useful question is whether the windows are making the new home feel unfinished, whether you want them cleaned before settling in, and whether outside access is ready. If you have just received the keys, first check the property from outside so you know which windows you want cleaned and whether any gates or extensions affect access.
If you are arranging several jobs after moving, window cleaning can be booked once the outside routes are reasonably clear. That avoids creating unnecessary access problems with boxes, vehicles or other work around the property.
One-off or regular cleaning after moving?
| Your situation | Option to consider |
|---|---|
| You want to start with a single visit | A one-off exterior window clean |
| You want a simple ongoing routine | Regular six-weekly cleaning |
| You are not sure yet | Start by enquiring about a one-off clean and decide later |
Window Cleaning Telford offers both one-off and regular six-weekly exterior window cleaning. There is a £20 minimum call-out and there is no automatic first-clean surcharge. For the current service pricing, see the window cleaning prices.
What should you check at a new property before booking?
1. Walk around the outside
Look at the front, side and rear of the property. A quick walk-around helps you notice locked gates, narrow passages, conservatories or extensions before you make the enquiry.
2. Check how the rear windows are reached
If a gate is locked, mention it before the visit. Our guide to window cleaning with a locked gate explains the practical points to consider.
3. Look for unusual window positions
If windows sit above a conservatory or extension, do not assume access will be straightforward. A clear photo sent with your enquiry can make the layout easier to understand. You can also read our guide about windows above conservatories and extensions.
4. Decide what you actually want cleaned
The service is exterior and glass-focused, using a Pure-Water / Water-Fed Pole method. Being clear about the windows you are asking about makes the first conversation more useful.
Do you need to wait until you are fully moved in?
Not necessarily. The more important issue is practical outside access. If the relevant exterior windows can be reached and you can explain any access restrictions, you can enquire before every box has been unpacked.
If you will not be home, access should be discussed in advance. See whether you need to be home for window cleaning for the main considerations.
What should you send in your first WhatsApp message?
- Your Telford location or appropriate nearby area.
- That you have recently moved into the property.
- Whether you are considering a one-off or regular six-weekly clean.
- Any locked gate or unusual access issue.
- A photo if the layout is difficult to describe.
You do not need a long message. The aim is to give enough information to understand the property and what you are considering.
New-home window cleaning checklist
- Walk around the exterior of the property.
- Check gates and rear access.
- Identify windows above extensions or conservatories.
- Choose whether to ask about a one-off or regular clean.
- Check the prices page.
- Send the important details and any useful photo by WhatsApp through the contact page.
Before you send your enquiry
Take a final two-minute walk around the property. Check the gate, the route to the rear windows and any glass above an extension. If anything is difficult to explain, take a clear photo and include it with your WhatsApp message. This gives you a simple next step without needing to know every detail in advance.
Should you book immediately after getting the keys?
You can enquire as soon as you understand the outside access, but there is no need to force the timing. If removal vehicles, stored items or other work are blocking the route to the windows, waiting until the route is clear can make the visit simpler. If access is already straightforward, you can send the enquiry and explain that you have recently moved in.
The useful distinction is between being ready to ask and being ready for the visit. You can ask about the service, current prices and availability while you are still settling in. Before an appointment, check the gate and outside route again so any change can be mentioned.
