Cleaning the outside of plastics ,No. But windows will need a clean due to spray on the windows. I have always cleaned the windows after and charged extra for doing so,agreed price on quote.
do you use a 7.3 m telescopic lance? petrol or electric pressure washer?
thanks

£25.00 - £30.00 per side depending on type of house, having to get over conservatory/extension etc.
Unblock downpipe only £30.00
I do loads of gutter clearances all year round, it's a nice add on.

WOW no wonder I hate cleaning gutters!  As a trad cleaner, I've got my own routine on how to clear and clean the gutters and soffits but as you can imagine, it takes me a long time.  As I have plenty of work anyway, I'll only do the gutters for my regular customers but because of this, I don't feel comfortable in charging the prices you guys do (or indeed the prices I SHOULD be charging for the time and work put in - the gutters always, always come up really well, apart from the painted gutters: why would people paint their PVC gutters....) and therefore I'm left with a good job done, and the bare minimum charged, often £12-£15 per side, and we're talking terrace, semi, detached.  A lot of work, not very much pay, puts me right off!

Sadly I damaged a lower back muscle at the end of May, and after nearly 3 months off I'm back at work but VERY slow while I build my strength back up, so have had to say no more gutter work until I've caught up with the window cleaning - I've very understanding custys thankfully.

Thanks very much for the advice here, it's been of great use to me and hopefully I'll be able to offer it again next year.

Who do you think we are cleaning them for chris?

sarcasm aside, its a yearly job if that, dirty hard work so deserves to be charged at a premium. regular customer or not imo

£25 clear and clean per strip on small terraces. £30-£40 per strip on larger properties.

I tend to do the lower strips a bit cheaper as they are much easier to clean after being cleared out.
