just wandering how much other w/c would charge for cleaning this inside and out every 5 weeks. show room only three sides

the glass beads and to do trad would need steps for outside but a hop up for the insides.

ive charge £65  and the first clean took 3 hours + but is regular (signed for 12mths)

your veiws plz vic

The price seems ok but theres know way it would take me that long,are you saying it took you that long because it was the first clean.I`m sure you could half that time on a regular clean.

[vwm]

yes it was very grubby and i did take my time and hoping to be in and gone in two hours max. only realy.  did charge £85 for the first clean but as the company sign for 12 mths i didnt charge a f/c charge.

just wonderd if it was a good price or not in the south west.

 

[NWH]

If it has the same amount on the other side then i would charge £75,after first couple of cleans i would aim to get that done inside and out in 1.5hrs.

Inside and out trad id say arounddddd £50.00 maybe 60

I think 65 is a fair price but would aim to do it in around 1.5 hours.

I agree £65 for around 1.5 hours.

The East Devon number on your van - is it an Exmouth/Budleigh number?

Are you lads including the frames as well in that time frame as it looks to be about 20min outside and maybe a 1/2 hr inside for just the glass

No frames for me. 1.5 hours is what i would allow for in my quote, any less then is a bonus for me.

cheers lads i agreee should take 1.5 hours next time i just took my time getting to ready for wfp as the last guy (2 years ago) left strecks ect so had to gain confidence with customer.

I think you've priced well - and spending time on the first clean is a good investment as you've twelve months signed up.

Be careful about not appearing "too quick" on these small trade accounts - if you can start the outside a bit early when people aren't there and time it to finish and start the insides when staff arrive they don't know how long you've been there! Always finish the whole job by walking around (in view of the staff) the outside for two minutes "checking" and wiping the outer cill.

When you get to month ten or eleven invest an extra half hour "doing a good job"  showing how careful and diligent you are so as to show yourself at your best when you approach about renewal.

That seems good advice from Malc(G)old. 
The earlier post - 20mins (for outside) and 45 mins (for inside) seems much too fast to me!

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Seems a fair price to me but I'm sure 1 1/2 hrs is too long, if access on the inside isn't an issue I'd reckon you can get it down to no more than an hour.  20 mins tops for the outs allowing a full 40 mins for he ins and I can't see the ins taking that long.  Even entirely trad I think 1 1/2 is a bit long.

the 3.5 hours was taking time watching out for the cars ect, wheres the best place to run hose ect and they were grubby as hell.

will let you all know how long it takes in 5 weeks time 

[macmac]

At the end of the day its 65quid, i wouldn't scoff if it took me 2.5 hours
