just got my gutter cleaning kit today need help with priceing tho, can any one tell me how they price up gutter jobs please as i am lost on this one 

[ant french]

ive heard a few lads quote either 3 quid or 5 quid a meter 

[ian1972]

Price it up on how long it going to take u no on meterageif you think u can do it in a hour price acorrdingly I do and my weekends are full of gutter clearences

[Wc Solutions]

i always go for around £30 a side (front or back)

so for example: front £30 back £30 then £10 per down pipe and say another £10 for garage.

thats on a min charge aswell and thats wfp the gutter and fascia.

Regards clearing it out i charge £10 to do a 'gutter health check' this is basically me going up a ladder checking what needs clearing and that the downpipes are not blocked and so on.

Once done the check i would work out how long it would take to clear and charge for time.

I charge 5 quid a metre

[rg1]

Charge by the metre and you will have fairly consistent pricing for different types of property. That way when you get an enquiry, you can tell the customer roughly how much it will cost.

[glen parva]

i charge £5 per meter

[e newlands]

What system did you buy

[Micky Boy]

onivac good bit of kit

[chopsie]

so it gutter clearing, not cleaning. The kit needed seems expensive as just an add on to my business, I too would be interested as to what people charge

[Sean Dyer]

a big ladder you need thats about it, i charge about £25 a side but usually go in at a rough estimate and get 99% did 4 on saturday £50, 65, 55, and £150 took 20 mins, 30 mins, 15 mins and 2 hours, for 2 of us that is though

So you needed 2 big ladders then

Domestic £3-£4 per metre----Commercial £5-£6 per metre , downspouts cleared £15,,,, i have the omnivac system

Had a guy ring today looking for a quote for the front of a terrace approx 10 mile trip, quoted £45 said he had already been quoted £15  i  explained the pitfalls of an uninsured operator on his property  he wasnt interested said he was willing to take the risk.
For him to ring me shows he wasnt happy with £15....
