In brief
Eight-weekly suits many Norwich homes: it keeps glass presentable without over-servicing it. Choose four-weekly for busy roads, exposed plots, heavy tree cover or a consistently pristine finish. Twelve-weekly can suit sheltered homes with fewer trees, while a one-off clean works for a move, sale or seasonal reset.
01
The short answer: usually every eight weeks.
There is no health or safety rule requiring a set timetable for domestic windows. The right rhythm is the one that keeps the glass looking cared for without paying for visits you do not need. For many Norwich households, an eight-week round is the comfortable middle ground.
Regular cleaning also prevents the sharp swing from very dirty glass to freshly cleaned glass. Frames and sills receive attention at every Frame Fresh visit, so grime has less time to settle around corners and seals.
02
Choosing between 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
Four-weekly cleaning suits prominent frontages, homes on busier roads and anyone who values consistently clear glass. Eight-weekly is the most balanced choice for an ordinary residential street. Twelve-weekly can work well for sheltered homes away from traffic and overhanging trees.
- 4 weeks: busy roads, exposed homes, entertaining often or a pristine finish
- 8 weeks: the practical all-round choice for most Norwich homes
- 12 weeks: sheltered properties with lighter traffic and tree residue
- One-off: moving home, post-building work, photographs or a seasonal refresh
03
What makes Norwich windows dirty faster.
A property close to a main road gathers fine traffic film faster than one in a quiet close. Trees bring pollen, sap and bird activity. Open agricultural edges around Cringleford, Costessey and Broadland can carry more dust in dry weather, while driving rain leaves marks on exposed panes.
The house itself matters too. Deep eaves protect some windows, while bays and roof windows meet more weather. If you are unsure, start at eight weeks and judge the glass just before the second visit. It is easier to adjust a regular round once you have seen a full cycle.
04
Why the method matters as much as frequency.
Frame Fresh uses ladders, applicators, squeegees and detailing cloths on safely reachable glass. The aim is not simply to wet the pane: glass is hand-finished and frames and sills are wiped dry.
Regular visits start from £30 for a typical smaller home. The fixed price depends on the number of windows and doors, access and frequency, and is shown before booking. A separate frame deep clean is available where older uPVC needs more than routine wiping.
