It looks like theres about 80 windows on that place, 1/3rd of them at 40' odd and some of you want to do them for £1.50 a pop?

I'd want £400 and reckon it'd take the 2 of us a good half day, not that I'd be wanting to do another half day after cleaning it.

I'd expect some cheapo to be charging about £100.

£250.00 on the basis that I would take a maximum of 7 hours and hope to do it in just over 6 and that my extreme 47 would reach every window. If I had to add extensions to the extreme I would want more.

I assume I would have to gain access from the inside for the balcony.
It's a game of three halves!

You get it down here as a monthly job for that, I would rather do that 4 times a year than clean it another 8'times for free,each to there own but I wouldn't be interested in doing it at that price I would rather do a few less back breaking jobs for the same amount.

More like 500 -700 for that lot the commercial specialist is charging. ;D
Over a grand if it’s a one off clean I’m betting too  :P

5-700 is not unrealistic if there is a bit round the back to do,there would be a lot of quotes in the south north of 500 with that bit round the side as well.

Very rarely jobs like that end up as a one off though usually when they have it done they will always use the same cleaners even though there might be a big gap between cleans,you need to get these pretty close on price or you will regret taking it on.

I've just ordered a new 35ft extreme if I was charging 150 quid for work like that I wouldn't be able to afford it,anyone IMO going in on the 150 mark is either in an area flooded by window cleaners or is clueless what to charge. That job is 250-300 all day long an if I was 8 weekly I wouldn't be disappointed if he's stuck to his guns,your not going to get em all but the ones you do get have got to be worth doing.

Ah someone else with a simalar opinon.

a £10 front only house down south would be a £10 full house up north , big difference whereabouts you are I think , also how many guys you have working with you/ for you.

A professional commercial window cleaning company with overheads to pay for staff, office, vans etc. would be in around £550 to £650 per clean depending on frequency.

Do you always expect to get your money back for a new pole from 1 job?

Not at all of course not but I wouldn't clean that 10 times to pay for it either,if you quoted 120-150 down south IMO and I'm not purposely trying to be rude the people living in that kind of place would honestly think you were either awful at cleaning windows or not running a profitable legitimate business. They would think there's no way he-they are going to a proper job charging that amount,I've heard them say it more than once.

If it's not regular I reckon north of 550-600 was his quote slightly less if it's more often.
