Does no one read posts properly any more? 

Nice and loud ...

The OP said: "EVERY 8 WEEKS"
The OP said they were being done off of ladders but there were insurance issues.

 

I couldn't be bothered to sift through all the flirting between Slacky and 8weekly 

Jealous?

Well done though OP. Good price.

It's a lot of windows but it looks pretty straight forward. I would be exhausted after doing that. I estimate I would need a full day to do that outside. In winter it might extend into the following day.  I would always add extra for issues that always pop up when cleaning.

My quote would be my hourly rate plus a bit extra.

I would also price it on an 12 weekly clean. They might say they want it done every 4 weeks but when they time comes they will want to renegotiate the clean interval for the same 4 weekly clean price.

another excellent post by the sprucer
i couldn't agree more wouldn't even bother putting in a 4 weekly price  talk them out of it and put in your £450.00 if they really insist i would have a one to one with the site manager pointing out the 12 weekly price saying let us know any time if you prefer this option.

Just did the job today .3.5 h between 2 of us .We used nearly 500l of water but insisted on rinsing being a first clean with wfp .We felt knackered after it but it was the only job in the day . Next time  I think we can do it in 3h or just under and maybe use around 300-350 l. Also just got an email from them saying they look great .Some of the residents were a bit funny .One decided to clean th insides and opened the windows a few times during and after the clean but I explained to them they need to keep it closed until dry.Another one was sceptical using wfp and said it prefers traditional but hope he changes it's mind after today .All in all a very good job to be added to our portfolio. Definitely well more tired than a normal day with cleaning houses as you get more breaks

We all like a story with a happy ending. Well done. Especially thanks for taking the time to share the results.  I think you guys did well to do that complete job in 7 man hours.

Thanks . We don't muck about . I'd rather be home early than make the working day longer . We've been reccomend by my plumber who did some work in the building so I guess that makes a difference with a prospective new customer

I just had a quick look and to me its a £200.  I would push it to £250 for the sides and crack on.  looks like 3 or 4 hours of work.

Mate, your worth more than that surely? £200?

This is what annoys me about window cleaning, there’s always the few that go in way too cheap and bring the prices down for everyone else. If we all charged more, we’d all earn more money because the going rate would be higher.

Well done on the £400 price ccc
