Can you finance a window cleaning system?

Yes, window cleaning systems are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £500 to £9,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Machine or specification Guide price Type

Van-Mounted Pure Water System £2,200 – £5,500 Van-Mounted System

Tax benefits

A window cleaning system is moveable equipment and generally qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance, letting the cost be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase. This covers the pure water system, tank, pump and reels; the van it is fitted into is normally financed separately as a vehicle. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances directly, while lease payments are deducted as a running cost instead.

Market context

Water-fed pole window cleaning systems are bought by residential and commercial window cleaning businesses, ranging from a sole trader with a single pole and reel kit to a larger operation running several vans each fitted with its own pure water tank system. Tank size and reel configuration are chosen to match how many properties or how large a commercial site the business covers in a day without needing to return to refill. Replacement is generally driven by filter and reel wear or a business moving up from a simple kit to a fully installed van system as it grows, rather than a fixed replacement cycle, and there is a reasonable second-hand market for basic pole and reel kits.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance the water system without the van it goes in?
Yes, the pure water system, tank, pump and reels can be financed as equipment in its own right, separately from the van. If you also need the van itself, most lenders will arrange this as a separate vehicle finance agreement, and some brokers can coordinate the two to complete around the same time even though they sit on different types of agreement.
Can a sole trader window cleaner get finance for a pole and reel kit?
Yes, sole traders are financed regularly for window cleaning equipment, and the amounts involved for a basic pole and reel kit are often modest enough to qualify for a quick decision. A newly self-employed window cleaner may be asked for a personal guarantee or a small deposit, and evidence of a round or existing customer base helps support the application.
What size system do I need to finance?
This depends on how many properties or how large a commercial contract you cover in a working day. A basic pole and reel kit suits a sole trader working a residential round, while a van-mounted system with a larger tank suits a business covering commercial sites or a busier residential round without needing to stop and refill during the day.
How quickly can I get window cleaning system finance?
Most applications are approved within 24 hours, and for a basic pole and reel kit under a few thousand pounds same-day approval is common. A fully installed van-mounted system at the higher end of the price range may take a little longer while the lender reviews the full supplier quote.
