> Then you must do a slapdash job squeaky.

i can not see how a dirty green conservatory , complete with gutters , and windows can be done in 1 hr , esp. when there are dirty run marks on finials , cross bars , and gutters, that will not come of with wfp , even hot , without using a chemical of some sort.
 if you can do them in 1 hr , it is not that dirty to begin with, or your defination of clean , is not the same as mine.

I must be the slowest window cleaner in the south.
Still taking 150 to 200 a day. But that conny sounds like 3 hours to me

[richywilts]

id go with 2-3 hours myself and i like to say thats a complete top to bottom valet using ecover truckwash, gutter cleared, roof bar end bits taken off and cleaned and also all windows cleaned with wfp

[the bfg]

I did a really large conny roof 16 panes in 1 hr 10 mins and thats including all the pvc and the conny gutter,  ok I have a hot water system but with me its a routine,   I use a pair of steps and do all the pvc first and ther finalls and dont even touch the glass untill Ive been all round doing the pvc,     once that is done the glass is easy.


no disrespect but to read some of the replies on this post makes it sound like rocket science

How anyone can time up a conservatory clean without seeing it is beyond me.

[chopsie]

well anyone who has read my posts will not be surprised to learn that con roofs take me at least 1.5-2 hours for even the smaller one (incl. gutters and windows afterwards). I have got 5 to do next week (and counting!!!) also a gutter clear and a biggish fascia/gutter clear and clean/window clean one off. I don't really like doing them to be fair, perhaps I am too fussy, But the one with the fancy things on top seem to take a lot of messing about to clean. But extra money comes in handy seeing as I am still building my round so not complaining. Been saving them up for next week as it 'should' be a slack week. I am doing Cozy's sisters conny roof, So a big thanks to him for giving her my details.

Is that conservatory roof spelt with a U? 

[chopsie]

Also, More on subject! I was asked to quote a conny roof a few weeks back, This was a good medium sized L shaped on going round the corner of her house. Was not very dirty, Just needed a spring clean really. This woman drives a brand new (well 59 plate) Jaguar, she has always driven nice cars (BMW's etc). She is not short of a few quid but I would not say she is minted either. Quoted her £40, she nearly fell through the floor!!! Thats how people with money get/keep money, They are tight!! I worked/helped out a very wealthy farmer as a lad, he is now a multi millionaire, He never spends a penny more than he has to, walks round in 20 year old trousers with holes patched up, Always haggles for a bargain, rarely does anything for nothing. I wish it rubbed off on me but I blow every penny i earn  :

an average or medium size conservatory takes no more than an hour and a half to 2 hours inclu setting up to driving away.

use tfr if really dirty and a stiff vikan sill brush.a quick clean of the windows and frames when done.

once you ve done a few you know roughly how long they take.

i do hate the ones where ive got to get my ladder and stand off to reach the far side of roof due to fence or bushes in the way!!! :

i like to do them after a days work about 3pm-4pm.boosts my money for the day!!

gutter cleaning out as well .... maybe 2 hours but like to have a little spare in case of problems

so your charging them for your spare hour doing nothing

Not so much charging them for my spare hour but more of getting it perfect and taking my time (her time) ... she was very very fussy and I had a vibe if it wasnt 100% mint then she would try not to pay me so worked on 3 hours to get it dead right ... maybe a little over cautious but prefer that to not getting paid fair enough I wont get paid now cos she didnt go with my price but just got one in next road for the £80 about same size but this customer more realistic to what can be acheived ... first customer said she wanted it like new which cant be done as its about 3 year old

I drove 16 miles today to quote a job, from a call i had a few days ago.  Cladding, conservatory, guttering, 5 bedroom house.  When I got their the house did not seem that bad,i knocked, no one their. I was thinking around £120. I called the customer later and they told me some young lad had been canvassing and he quoted them £10.00 for the complete job, and done it their on the spot. They gave him a £5.00 tip.
