pfwest, yes my prices are set - but not in stone. I have a pricing matrix for a house and another for apartments.
However, the matrix is flexible, and i can change the price of a kitchen from £25.00 to £50.00 if needed, depending on the size.

I think the different systems work well for each of us at the end of the day, and who cares how we work them out, as long as we win the tender!!  :D

Kind Regards

P.S. S.N.A and Seercleen, have sent them again...........

Hi Tim,

Yes I agree with you, its whatever works better for you, Ive been working on a small development of 3 small houses today and to be honest I now think the quoted price of 12p per sq ft was a bit low, the windows are a right pain, my wife went to view them and I worked out the price from her details.

Its all good fun.... ;D

Kind regards

Hi

We are a window cleaning company and have been asked to quote for builders clean of just the windows we are meeting a guy on monday, could you tell me how you work out your price for windows and what % do you put on top of your quotes if you sub the windows out.

Thanks Belinda

Hi Belinda,

I’m no expert on new build cleans, but the windows are a major part of the clean, as I’ve just mentioned in my previous post, I quoted 12p per sq ft for three small properties (approximately 1200 sq ft each)  for the initial clean half this for the second, the windows are a pain on this development: bad access, first floor windows cant be cleaned from the inside, the protective film on the frames is a pain to get off, these are factors that you will need to consider when you work out a price as each development is different.

Of course some properties have more windows per sq ft than others, this is why the price I quote ranges from 12p to 25p per sq ft.

But as I have said the windows are the main job on a new build, but I have never quoted for just windows, but I would say at a guess at least 60% of my charge is for the windows on most jobs.

So if I’m talking sense, one house today 1200 sq ft at 12p = £144.00 windows = £86.40 for 7 windows and 1 patio window, but if I’d had seen the job before quoting it would have been 15p per sq ft because of the reasons above.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards

Paul

Hi paul

that would make it approx £9 per window do you agree,
i would have charged probabley £4 per window but i am quoteing to clean for a cleaning company and they also have to make money on our work aswell.

Hi Belinda,

Yes that is about £9 per window, but as I said only on this job, its one of them.. how long is a piece of string, each job is different.

I sub out windows on office cleaning, but make very little on the jobs, only because I havent got the time to do it myself, dont undercut yourself, they are hard work on new builds, put in a good price, have a good look at the job before you price it, wish I could help more, but without seeing the job its hard... ::)

If the cleaning company is sub contracting the job, they cant or dont want to do it, be cautious before you price it.

Kind regards

Paul

One more point if a developer wanted a quote for 100 of this property type they would get them cleaned for less per sq ft, as I said Belinda a lot of factors have to be considered when quoting, as with any job, the bigger the job the cheaper they get it... ::)

Kind regards

hi there

windows, we try to get on windows in advance of the buidl clean, we can get into a plot de tape and sticker clean, to create the street scene

and then on the build clean life is easier, and then the reclena and sparkle

if the windows are really bad, then the developer will contra the trade causiing the problem.

my guys are really on the top of windows now, and it isnt really a headache for us,

windows, wet rooms, kitchen , rest of house.  it all forms part of the clean.

oh and clean out the casement aswell, and the threshold on the doors


regards

Have you been drinking? ;D ;D ;D ;D

With respect Martin, Belinda is asking for some guide on price, I've tried to explain how I price a job, it might be helpful if you would give some constructive input into how you would price windows alone on a new build clean.

Kind regards
