Window and facade cleaning in the UAE: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Window cleaning in the UAE costs roughly AED 100 to AED 400 per visit for an apartment, AED 300 to AED 800 for a villa, and from AED 500 for a high-rise job with rope access, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Inside glass is usually an extra, from about AED 100. The quickest way to get a price for your building is a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences for work on facades and towers

In Abu Dhabi, a licence for cleaning building facades is obtained through the municipality's e-licensing programme, and the municipality keeps a list of approved companies. In Dubai, a building cleaning licence sets out the activities a company may do, along with its approvals and staffing visas. Before high-rise work starts, ask the company for its licence number and for proof of safe rope-access equipment.

Season and the desert dust

In a desert climate, outside glass gets dusty quickly. Mild November to March is comfortable for crews working on rope access, while the very hot months from May to September make midday work on facades hard, so ask for an early start in summer. A clean in November gives you clear glass before the summer heat begins.

How the price is set

Prices are quoted in AED per visit, per window or per building. Access method and building height change the cost most, so a villa is priced differently from a tower. Some prices are quoted excluding VAT, so check the final amount. Give your emirate too, whether Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain, because travel time changes the price.

What to write in your request

Give the number of windows or the area in square metres, and say whether you want one side or both. Describe the floor and building height, the property type (apartment, villa, office or tower), and any stains such as paint or hard-water marks. Add how often you want the service, your address and your budget in AED.
