[CleanClear]

Hi guys need a little idea of what the average wage or hourly rate is for me to pay window cleaner

The national minimum wage will be a typical wage to pay a window cleaner. However a good window cleaner will deserve and command a lot more. And that "lot more" final price will depend upon the work you have, what it pays and what he wants. It will literally have to be negotiated.

You boys volunteering to work for PK for £150 a day must be on some sort of naff money.

I havnt gone down this road, but I've thought about it.

I think what it would like is a basic rate of minimum wage which they get regardless. Then a % of the days turnover. They would only get this "bonus" if they completed the job or day without any legitimate complaints.

I think this would be a good balance of quality, speed of work, and giving the employee a sense of job satisfaction.

I'm not sure what the % should be though.

Thank you Tripster. Now go back to FB we have a big match tomorrow. I reckon we could go a long way in the cup.

For the record I pay £11.00 an hour. Most likely getting another van this year, there'll be a bonus scheme incorporated on the days the extra van is used.

£120 a day in your van
£150 in his.

I don't like hourly pay.

Average rate of pay? This is right at the top end.

How many days a month do you use subbies pk? I'd bet they are lining up to work for you.

You must have missed my question poleking, how many subbies do you use per week/month at £120/£150 per day?

Sorry mate. I did.
I only use 4 subbies for windows.
On average, probably, once a week.
I do get asked a lot for work but I say no to most of them.
The lads I use I trust. That's worth the money.
The lads I use though, they've got all their own rounds.
So it's a case of if they've got time they do a bit for me, if they haven't, one of the other lads will. There's always someone.

The girls are different. They work every day. But that's office cleaning, not windows.

I should point out, I'm most definitely not one of the big boys.
I use subbies for work that I'd otherwise do myself.
After my son was born I wanted to work less.
So I do.
They do the work, I take a cut. I don't earn as much as I would if I did the work myself but I'm home by 5pm every night. On a 4 day week. That wouldn't happen without the subbies.
It's not for everyone, they might like to make more money and work more hours.
But it works just right for me.
