People read these threads and their limiting beliefs convince them that it’s just bullpoop and exaggeration  when high prices are mentioned, this is a mental protective measure to stop them feeling inadequate. It’s easier to see a price as a lie than as evidence that high prices are achievable.

Some people will have read this topic and chosen not to comment As there best hourly rate wouldn't have been believed and they couldn't be arsed to qualify it

I think your quite spot on with your comments Mike.
Also, I think it has to be considered that, a majority of work is 'Average' price (and that can vary area to area) but I always get the feeling reading these threads that many of those who post really good figures try to portray themselves as always getting this rate as the 'norm'  maybe it's just a way to massage their own ego there is also a 'snobbery' about the fact they get a good paying work, with little put downs to those who  have yet to find their golden goose - the thing is if you've been around here long enough  many of these 'wonder' cleaners also whine and cry when losing a customer, or the cost of a penny washer - Which a always find interesting.

And others just see it as one-upmanship, willy waving, B/S and generally poor taste on a public forum! 👍

It would be very interesting if everyone posted their sa302’s for the last tax year!

I think we’d see an average wage of maybe 30k.

Trades do not charge 150-200-250 a day it’s complete nonsense I’ve had a fair bit of work done on the house over the past few years and if you sit down and work out the labour it’s no where near those daily prices,just had another quote for work with very little materials involved they need to be purchased after the building work.
3 weeks of basically labour 9000 for the builder and a handful of of days using his son apprentice as I say without materials.

[Smudger]

So your bing charged 600 a day labour 🤣

Norfolk is no where near that most workout at around the 200 mark

Your builder thinks your a mug, it’s as simple as that.

There are better paid jobs out there , iv just had a quote to get my Upvc windows (4 windows on the front)  & front door sprayed anthracite grey. Said it would take 1 day - £500 . These guys are springing up all over , google Upvc window sprayers. I’m just hoping, this paint doesn’t scratch easily as I can see it being a new trend

Or some have more sense than to get drawn in to posting earnings to pseudonyms on the internet.

Also quiet possible he’s seen my house eh 😉

Ask a builder to break down a quote a lot of times he’ll not be interested they hide loads of over the top labour costs into material costs try to blind you,this time it wasn’t happening as I’m buying materials after the first part of the job which is just preparation.

House opposite me had windows, door gutters and facias sprayed last year. Due to gutters expanding and contracting the brackets have worn through the paint. It now looks silly with white bits poking through the gray.

There are lots of companies popping up round here too spraying upvc. I tried asking a few what chemicals can be used to clean the pain in the years to come. None of them have a clue.... No idea if Ubix, Virosol  or any other TFR will be OK let alone Hypo dripping from a softwash...
Think all windys are going to have to be very very careful on these painted upvc.

Why would you want you’re windows sprayed if they are in that kind of condition that they need spraying they must be getting close to needing to being replaced,I used to look at the grey PVC windows and think they look good the more of them I clean the more I think they look even cheaper then bad quality white ones.

[Shrek]

I think grey looks better than white

[deeege]

The grey windows can look nice on a cleanly rendered property. It always makes me laugh when you see an ex council house with grey windows, doors and roofline, it just looks naff.

The rendering is next on the list

My best paying work is in the smaller properties; small blocks of flats, front onlys, easy 2 or 3 bed semis (no connys), nice and compact. I can easily hit a nice hourly rate on those.
My mate is earning better money on gutter clearing and cleaning and is thinking of renting his round out and focusing just on that side of the business.
I think there is good money to be made, but you have to have the balls to sell your services properly for a premium price, but then you do have to do a bloody good job to back it up.

£280. In an hour and a half. Complete one off every 3 months. Apart from that, the usual 60 an hour 🤔 Hence a 2 5 hour day 👀
