Sorry that was a bit vague. I mean someone to come a clean my windows outside.

Quinton and Tregus, the Burke and Hare of the window cleaning world. Can be found in any local bookie after 2pm.

Depends if you want them cleaned properly, or just rubbed a bit with a long pole with a hose attached !!

Seven quid for having three windows lightly soaked sounds just about right - particularly when they do it when it's pouring with rain.

Ross with the Austin van is excellent. For those who think that it is actually a Morris Minor van will be interested to learn that although it looks like a Morris Minor van it is badged an Austin. This is due to the demise of the Austin A35 van that the Austin dealers needed a van to sell. So BMC badge-engineered the Minor van as an Austin for them.

Burke and Hare ?? Which one's which ? Didn't think either of them had much hair.

I personally would not go to the Burke and Hare of the windowcleaning world. Have had dealings with them and only one of them is any good!

Does anyone have any phone numbers and idea of prices? I am also looking for a window cleaner!

Great comment Worker, I'm sure you are very well prepared and have all the tools for cleaning first floor windows, as I don't and am not a giant I shall employ a professional!

(1) Ladder & sponge
Or
(2) open 1st floor window, outstretch hand (with cleaning cloth attached), move said hand across window pane. Close window.

Um yes great suggestions thanks, I would not have thought of those special techniques myself... I do have rather large windows though so perhaps a superhuman stretchy arm might come in handy! (also the ability to bounce just in case I fall out of said window)

I use a young chap from Isfield who comes into Lewes (not sure if he covers the whole town). He uses a ladder rather than a hosepipe on a stick. His name is Clinton and his no. is 07774 047724. For my extended semi he charges £11. (I don't know how that compares but I believe Burke and Hare used to charge �15)

I have used Treagus and Quinton for years and have never had any problem with their reliability or the standard of their work. They charge me £1 per window which I think is good value.

There's a bloke named Treacle who does Lewes. Ask in the pubs, and somebody will have his contact details.

I was talking to a local cleaner in the pub and he said you can get the poles that they all use online. I was going to get one but they seem pretty expensive
