Insides - how much?
« on: July 21, 2013, 06:20:21 pm »




How much for the insides of this? Two big conservatories too.

I gave my price and the custy nearly collapsed with shock. Cheap too I thought.

Including the roofs?
£300 easy.
It'd be a pain in the arse and difficult to clean the roofs in 30 degree heat

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

I'd say that's the best part of a days work taking into account the back is pretty much the same as what can be seen.

£350.

Added after, looking at the conservatory, probably more than a days work taking into account the 'tiredness' factor as the day goes on.

Still, £350 though.

No, not the roofs. I've done the outsides already - probably took me three hours to get it all up to scratch. They wanted the insides doing but I ran out of time anyway on Saturday. I underpriced the outside badly for a first clean but should be able to make my money back on maintenance cleans.

Id charge £120-150 but i am cheap sometimes with big jobs hence targetting just fronts but even still it would only take 3/4 hours to do. I cant see where people are getting all day to clean!

I wonder if the last window cleaner felt he priced the insides up too cheap?
On standard size windows I do usually charge the same as outsides.
But looking at those windows they are not a standard size and I would think a trad pole or stepladder would need to be used to reach the top of them.
Making the job take longer than usual.
So I would charge double to do those inside windows.

Hence the word 'last' and not 'current'

I'd put a staff cleaner on that, should be done in about 6 hours. I'd ask for £100. No special skill or risk involved, anyone could do it.

I reckon the only way to price this one is to put them on an hourly rate... I have a lot of properties like this and as long as you work efficiently and they see you workin hard then go for £35 an hour..... its the only way as you wont get bitten by under estimating the time to do it.... nowt worse than starting a job knowing you are about to blow ya balls off on it!!!
