Minimum price to clean a house
« on: April 21, 2013, 01:10:19 pm »
Hi all on CIU, i'm just wondering as a matter of fact what is the average absolute minimum charge that you would

not go in for any less than to clean a average size house,  I know you have to factor in different price's for

different parts of the country, most window cleaners have a minimum charge factored in before they price a job.

Just wondered what the average minimum was on this site.

Regards lal

My minimum charge is £12.00.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

It depends on access. For example with a flat where the others are also cleaned it could be less than£10 but for most I view houses as a oneoff job and set a £15 minimum. I dont have hoses trailing all over and try to park on the property.

Great earner.

My minimum is £5 for a 2 bed terraced house and £7 for a semi
That is Sheffield though.... Im not sure what you could get in other places

But it really all depends on how long it is going to take and how close your next / previous clean was.

£5 fronts only or shop front.
However.....if there were ten £3 jobs in a row, all having 3 windows front only I would be stupid not to take them on.

min price toget out my van is £5 but the only jobs i have for £5 are very very small, i.e. 4 or 5 windows at the most. Most of my average three bed semis or around £10 however!

Im from the east midlands. Hope that helps some!

How long does that take to clean? how many doors and windows? plus, do you clean frames and sills as well as doors in your service?

The reason i ask is because there are a few variables when it comes to pricing as im sure everyone is aware, but i feel it needs to be brought to attention.

Don't touch any new work (whole house) for less than £15 monthly. If they want 2 monthly it's £20 minimum.

Fronts only, minimum of £10 now or £12.50 every 2 months.

My cheapest job is a 2 monthly, next door to a £30 job. She has one bay window cleaned for £4.
