About window cleaning in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is a large city of around 200,000 in Aberdeen. The housing is mostly Victorian tenements, sandstone terraces and 20th-century estates typical of Scottish and Welsh urban centres. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like AB10, AB11, AB15 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit in the same ballpark as the UK average, with Aberdeen firms quoting close to national rates.
Scottish pricing runs from Edinburgh (above average) to the Highlands (variable, often with long lead times). The trade bodies are different here — SELECT for sparkies, SNIPEF for plumbers, and the regulatory framework is Building Standards rather than Building Regulations. Doesn't usually slow jobs down, but the paperwork changes.
Domestic cleaning isn't a regulated trade, but the firms worth hiring carry public liability insurance and DBS-checked staff. End-of-tenancy work is nearly always priced per property with a deposit-back guarantee baked in. Specialist cleans (carpet, oven, gutter) are charged per unit or by the hour, not by property size.
