after getting back into the cleaning side of things im just wondering what average sort of figure most sole cleaners try and achieve daily, i worked my balls off today on to be fair underpriced work on quite a nice estate and only did £163 prob should have been £185 if priced correctly.

just trying to see how my pace of work compares to others

To be honest i think thats about right.I know alot that dont make that and a few that
make more,but thats based on where i live.
If i put effort in all day every day i can make a high wage but i get fed up by 2pm and off home by 3pm

my mate reakons 2 people should make 300 a day,  i am happy making 100,  but i dont start tlll after nine and am usually sat at home for 2, with out breaking a sweat

[Richard iSparkle]

i set myself £350 pound worth for a full day, and up to £185 for a half day (working 8-12).  Did £340 today and had a break in the morning for coffee, lunch with my parents and home by 4:10  .  They are rounds that I've been cleaning for 4 months now so i know them pretty well.

That's terrible. Your staff make £500 a day and you can't turn over half?

[king marko]

Sounds similar to what I make chap - ive got rounds where I can work from 9 till 2 ish and earn really well - next day on the older, underpriced stuff where it feels really draining to do  - having said that I earn much more now than I ever did doing 40 odd hrs in a factory  

[JSMC]

i need to really look at pricing next year. up here it's grim

Working on your own?

Working on your own?

yes.  by myself.  even managing it on these short days.  i'm not saying it's easy, but i'm not exhausted after a days work either, just tired!

Is that most or every day?

it's not everyday, it's about 2 days a week at the moment and 2 half days.  still building my round up, but will get to that everyday and will be able to work at the current pace without difficulty

Is that most or every day?

how many jobs are you doing for that richard

[Ronnie Bryce]

So you are not long into it Richard, and you are making well over one thousand pound a week?

[Richard iSparkle]

So you are not long into it and you are making over one thousand pound a week?

yes Ronnie.  It's 18 months in now and its been a roller coaster for me.  we had a fire this time last year, 5 months in, and it cost me a fortune.  so i;'ve got a lot of debt that i'm paying off, and not making stacks of proffit as a result

[Richard iSparkle]

how many jobs are you doing for that richard

today i did 24 houses, some of them bigguns.  other days i;ve done 32 houses

[gary999]

im always interested to hear how people price work and how
to improve working practices to speed my day up.

to compare my days takings to anothers is pointless.

try to earn what you think you can achieve not what others say
they acomplish.

at the mo im reasonably happy with what i earn,thats enough
for me

By yourself or with your staff?

Do your staff do more or less than you?

that's by myself.  i used to have a member of staff who was achieving similar.  had to let him go tho due as wage bill too hi (see previous post re the fire last year)
