Hello!
I have to give a quote EOT clean. 3bedroom semi, quite grotty. Lady wants me to clean a storage place as well, not nice at all. How much to charge? I thought about £150. I live in North Yorkshire, near York, anybody from here? Shealso wants me to give her a written quote, what exacly should I write there? How much per room, kitchen e.c.t?
Many thanks!

£150 Have you registered as a charity ?

[Anna Warren]

Ermm... I understand, you'd charged more. How much then? I'm new to EOT, I dealt with domestic before. I need this quote this evening.

Hi

For this you will have to use 'physcological marketing'.

So if you want £300 go in at £280-290.

£150 is far too low, if it is 'grotty' as you say you are maybe looking at 10-12 hours, so at say £20per man, p/h you need to be looking at £240+

Carpets are extra

You first need to detail exactly what she wants done, what type of flooring is it, carpets, lino etc. Does that include the oven ? You say its grotty so it'll take about twice as long as you think it will. Will you sub the carpets and oven clean ?
I'd say 2 people a good day each if not longer if its that grotty and a bad oven can take half a day to get nice, another half a day for the kitchen, maybe 2 hours for the bathroom plus each bedroom. I'd say about £350 for a one off customer and £500 to include carpets as I do them myself

[Anna Warren]

Landlady wants to replace all carpets, so theren't included. I didn't look to  the oven, to be honest, I don't know its state, probably dirty. She wants house to be ready soon as a new tentants are coming and she'll take cleaning payment of the leavers bond.

2 cleaners at £130 day
oven and carpets additional to that
min £260

Just ouf of interest guys what would you charge for a 3 bed flat with 2 bathrooms, georgian windows to be cleaned inside, oven clean, in a below average state.

Karl

2 x £130 plus £50 for oven £310  for a builders clean 
or in the oven was filth sub it out to a oven cleaning co im sure you can do a deal for around the fifty mark if you offer them the opportunity of more work

domestics dont do but i presume similar price as you have the hassle of fixtures and fittings

[Simon Newton]

I think 280 £ is good charge for EOT cleaning.

i never understand how people get these prices when it's with the tenant. i'm doing a house this Friday for £240 and it's 4 bed, 3 bath. although fairly clean it's hard to get much more as there's other companies in area charging even less so i can only get so much above before the confidence in me is lost against the extra cost. £20 per man hour would do so great but we typically average around £12.60 area.

Hi

We all have this issue.

Had one last week, where I quoted £140 clean, £140 carpets.

The other company quoted £141 all in!

By the time he pays wages, materials, petrol, tax, ins he'll get about £8 p/h profit.

My answer to the LA was, let them do it.
