Make sure you get clear instructions as to what the expect from you, most want the frames included, so price accordingly.
Most of the windows will be caked with lumps of cement and plaster, stickers etc as will the frames, now to clean all this mess you will need scrapers (various types) also its good to buy yourself a bottle of stick stuff remover, trying to get stickers off with just water and a scraper you will be there forever, some manufacturers are now useing water soluable stickers, so if you get the chance do a test first.
Just a small window can take you a fair while to clean, so make sure you price it right, you'll make a huge mistake if you don't, get the price right and your well away.

vivaro reply with info and we can help :) minimum for glass is removal of adhesive labels and associated residue,removal of all building materials on glass ie mortar plaster silicon paint grout etc then "clean and polish glass " thats what it says on a lot of my spec sheets ;)

the easiest way to explain it is when you have finished, it should look like a a frame from one of your domestic cleans when you have finished cleaning it
