Window cleaners: salary in the UK

ONS didn't publish salary figures for Window cleaners in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.

The wider group Elementary Cleaning Occupations (SOC 922) has a median of £26,751 a year.

ONS did publish a mean of £31,576, which is less reliable than a median would be.
