Did you get builders to sign a disclaimer before you started. When they are in that state there is often damage caused be the grit  which they try to pin on the windowcleaner. As has been said, builders want shot.

Would have defo walked away from that one mate.

Do you have a disclaimer signed that says you aren't responsible for scratches?

If that is mortar on the windows then they are classed as damaged. We always get this in writing before we start

The blue film should never have been taken off, that's what it is there for to protect the glass when building. You then just have to peel it off, no need for builders clean but hey can a builder work that one out ???

A new estate that I clean one of the foreman came up and said they were having problems with cement on the windows etc.. Just told him to just leave the film on and problem solved, the penny dropped now they only remove it after the house is completed.
