i have been asked to give a price for an old building , cleaning windows on a timber framed house. small leaded lights . we usually charge £1. a window but this will take more work. what is the best way to clean? also what price?

I have a few jobs sounding like this.
Dunno how you clean but i had 4 very similar elisabethan houses with thick oak window frames. 3 came up lovely with wfp eventually, the other always needed detailing whichever method i used.
I also found microfibre much better for detailing than a scrim.
I reckon however you approach it, you should go back and check the 1st clean has dried properly if you are using wfp.
If you are trad then clean as any other window.
As for pricing it, compare the size of your £1 windows to the size of these wooden ones and up the charge accordingly.
If you can avoid cleaning the frames then do so. Pure water seems to pull all sorts of stuff from these old frames.

If these are the very old leaded light be very very carful with them, it is very easy to break them, and wfp I would avoid if they are as they normally leak. these types of window are very expensive to fix. best way i know to clean them would be a spray bottle and a microfibre cloth and as for price would need a pic of the windows to give a fair price, these will take longer than normal so £1 per window unless they are small would not be right price to charge IMO
