Local things to know in Featherstone

What to check before you book
- Insurance. Ask whether they hold public liability insurance. A professional cleaner will tell you without hesitation.
- What's included. Glass only, or frames, sills and doors too? This is the biggest reason quotes differ.
- Method. Most rounds now use water-fed poles with purified water, which lets cleaners reach upstairs windows from the ground. Traditional ladder-and-squeegee cleaning is still used, especially for inside windows.
- Frequency. 4-, 6-, 8- or 12-weekly. More often costs less per visit but more per year: for a 3-bed semi here that's about £208 a year at 4-weekly vs £117 at 12-weekly.
- Payment. Card or Direct Debit after each clean is easiest to track. Avoid paying months in advance.
- Missed spots. Ask what happens if something isn't right. Some firms offer a free re-clean within a set time.
Red flags
- No name, phone number or way to contact them after the clean.
- A price far below the table above with no explanation of what's left out.
- Pressure to pay a large sum up front.
- Unwilling to confirm insurance.
