Is £50 too much to charge to clear 30m of gutters?

[Sean Dyer]

nope

id imagine most charge £50 standard for 3 bed or £1 a metre to clear and upto 5x that to clean and clear

[Steven Shoreditch]

Cheers for that.

I just gave a quote (4 bed, gable ends, so clear runs front and back), and they said that thought it was 'a lot of money', they would still go for it becasue they are leaking in some way.

[gewindows]

Lots on here would go in at £3-£4 per metre.

Agreed. I charge £3.50 metre for clearing gutters with vac

[glen parva]

ive just done 55m on a house and got £175

[dazmond]

you can clean a small 3 bed semis gutters in 15-20 mins if there not too bad.

[gewindows]

Why so much?

This is why IMO.

And because they dont want to do it themselves. They have a choice whether or not they accept your quote, they have every right to go elsewhere for a 2nd, 3 rd or 4th quote.

[Perfect Windows]

Why so much?

Because his customer will pay that much.

[Daniel12]

£3 a metre to clean just the inside and £4 if the want it all done i.e fascia soffit gutter presuming you use wfp if trad id charge more cus it dangerous a crappy

[kev carr]

I charge £3 per meter and people are happy to pay that for a job that needs doing and one they don't want to do themselves.. Heres a pic of one i done last week... one of the worst i have done in a while..

[CLEANCARE WC]

hi kev how u doing? thats a nasty gutter where was that mate? yes it is me 

[bobby p]

an  ageing INDIAN  rang me up ,told me id be cleaning her gutters inside and out for 15 quid,as MRS PATEL said that was my price!  i went along to look at the job,and purely because i was already there said id do it now for £25

 oh,but but but, HOW ABOUT 20?  She replied.
 "tell you what,just think about it "  was my reply and i quickly   drove off

then 6 months later she rang me,
 " you said 20,that includes fascias and you said you would do all the front windows in this price ,can you do it very soon?  collect your money later if we arent in "

  YEAH RIGHT !

[Steven Shoreditch]

Some people...

Anyway, let's say you did them off a ladder and charged £50, then got a vac and did them in half the time, can you still charge the same?

[CLEANCARE WC]

yes its a once a year job. as far as im aware people dont quote any less now they have wfp, i certainly dont. if they say anything point out the fact its a once a year job, your outlay on equipment has to be paid for and someone off ladders would charge the same if not more.

[kev carr]

hi kev how u doing? thats a nasty gutter where was that mate? yes it is me 

hey dan.. hows it goin?   

yeah tell me bout it... 4 buckets full of moss for the whole job ... 1 per side.. that was in elmsett...

[clearlyclean]

I'd Mrs Patel to clean her own gutters and while she at it come round and clean mine!
I charge £5 a meter as i hate doing them and i hope they say they ll try someone else
