Hi Paul

Just reading about build cleans, currently do sub-contract on them but want to do more on own. The question is did you say half price for second clean.

i.e.         10,000 sq ft x .15 = £1500.00. This is for initial clean

              10,000 sq ft x .075 = £750.00. for hand over clean

Hi Gary

I dont know about the others who do builders cleans etc etc, but we used to do 45% of the builders clean price for the sparkle......but soon realised that it took nearly as long as a builders clean, to clean up again after the trades people had made a mess again!!

However, we try to get away with at least 60% of the builders clean price, if not more!!

Hope that helps and would be interesting to hear other comments on their %'s



Paul.....was not having a go back, just thought you had mis-interpreted the idea of how i price it up  ;D  ;D



Kind regards

Hi Tim, Gary,

Gary yes I would normally charge half for the second clean, like I said currently 15p per sq ft is the minimum I charge for the initial clean, this would be on a basic property, in most cases I would go in a third time for the sparkle and like Tim said the property can in some cases need nearly as much time spending on it as the initial clean, but the main difference with the clean is that the windows should be ok.

In most cases the windows are the most time consuming job on the initial new build clean.

Regards

Paul

Just another point, that myself and Tim posted on along time ago now, construction cleans are invoiced at zero rated tax, you can still claim back vat on all materials as they are taxable supplies.

Hi Paul & Tim

Thanks for the help.

Will read in more detail & speak again.

Currently we do a lot of Window Cleaning 3 vans fully fitted with wfp & do builder cleans on windows to some contractors, previously done some in crewe & stoke near to you Paul, for SSG but found the builders clean was not up to scratch & has everybody else looking to expand & multiply.

Hi Suzieq,

Were based in Mid-Cheshire, but cover most of the Cheshire area ;D

If I hear of any domestic work near you, I'll pass on the details, as we no longer do domestic cleans.

Hi all,
We do some domestics but at the moment were dealing with a lot of office contracts and some recreation centre work thats draining our time slightly, im also not quite sure how to change my Domestic work from doing them myself to staffing them, how would i take payment from the clients without the cleaners knowing what im recieving as they leave me cash at the moment, also what should i include as part of my cut? Should i be responsible for holiday cover etc please advise ???
Thanks loads Marts for the website compliment i had thought about shutting it down but ill leave it for now.
