Jacob Conneely, who owns Total Window Cleaning Services, was working at a property next to a 20mph school sign last month that couldn't be seen so decided to give it a quick clean.
The youngster received positive feedback from his customer so decided to take on Norfolk's unsightly signs.
He has cleaned 19 at present across the county, for no payment, including Mousehould Avenue, Norwich, Rider Haggard Road, Heartsease and Cannerby Lane, Sprowston.
Mr Conneely said: 'I roughly do one a day or every other day depending on where I'm working, and time between jobs.'

The Norwich entrepreneur started his business with the help of The Prince's Trust which run a young business grant.
He added: 'It involved a week long course about running a business and writing a business plan followed by a board meeting where you have to present your business to apply for a grant, and upon being accepted you receive a business mentor for two years.'
