Yes. You need a window cleaner’s licence to work as a window cleaner or run a window cleaning business. You can apply for a window cleaner’s licence via your local council.

A window cleaner can earn an average salary of £21,000 per year. This however, depends on the type of contract, and whether or not the window cleaner is an independent contractor or employed with a window cleaning company.

As well as having to show your licence or identification badge to the Police or a council officer, you must show your licence or identification badge to the occupier of the premises on request, when you call at the premises to arrange a window cleaning job or to get payment.

Window cleaners have access to people’s private homes and properties, as well as potentially working around children, the elderly and those that are vulnerable. A window cleaner’s licence ensures workers are police checked and have passed relevant vetting.
