It's impossible to answer without knowing access, window sizes, regular clean or one off clean etc.

Work on between £0.50 - £1.00 per side of glass you need to clean

watch out, those sort of windows can catch you out. If it is the lift out sort you will :-

lift out and place on the floor on a drip surface (not carpet)
clean one side
turn it round
clean the other side
turn it back round
put it back in the right slot without touching the inside

then take it out again and clean the inside of the window  ::)

things that eat up the time are:-

getting the damn things out
putting them in the wrong way around and getting the damn thing out again
putting them back in and seeing marks and getting it out again
putting down drip cloths ( usually on immaculate cream carpets)
when you get halfway round they will say can you clean out those slots as well


secondary glazing is a nightmare, it is always stinking dirty.

If they are the ones I am thinking about, where you lift them out of the frame or they swing open, arent they known as secondary glassing.?
As they are time consuming and I would price them at £1.50 to £2.00 on per size of the window.

 Hi
 As said these are a real pain, so dont scrimp on your price. makes sure you put the same ones back in the same place.

 often the runners are all bent so only ther right pain will fit

 my lads did a similar one of these and stacked tham all up in a corner the numpties!

 took hours to put them all back, and one got cracked.

 cheers

I agree with NJ, I would go in around £1.50-2.00 approx.  Sounds like a job that could go pear shaped, so price high.
