When you do the cleaning its far far superior then that of a staff member, When ever I have been involved in the cleaning we get glowing reports the problem is when you start employing staff they will not consistantly clean to those high standards you demand. thats life! when you take the next steps you will see. I run 12 girls 6 teams for house cleans and then I do carpet cleaning, builders cleans, march outs etc, with a further 4 staff, as well as comercial contracts I run with other staff. plus I live 70 miles from my main area of cleaning so its difficult to keep tabs, I pay £7 for drivers and £6 for maids plus the drivers get a milage allowane so they don't do to bad at all. 7 of my staff are polish, I would employ all polish if I could, excellant work ethic no time of work. work work, they want the money and theres no safty net of social payments if they don't work. I am VAT registed so its easy for some one to under cut me whos not. £15 + vat per hour is a lot. some on here charge £10 per hour and still pay staff?when you caharge rates like that you just have to be good, I am not knocking those people who charge £30 a house, but when I come in at £70 for a standard 3 bed you have to be good, you have to offer somthing different, and thats what I do from the estimate through to the cleaning products and systems, we are very professional, but I am sure we all are? kind regards Phil
