How Much Would You charge
« on: May 01, 2016, 07:25:44 pm »


So as the title sais How much Would You all charge ?
cleaned every 3 months . I have cleaned them 3 times now . A real pain to clean with all the metal frames ,Oxidised paint and putty leaving marks , But hopefully that would have cleared up this time. I do them  over 2 days around five Hours each day due to access
.
I counted the windows Today around 800 panes of glass .
Also bare in Mind Tax to be deducted .
I did Name all the pics front , left side etc but it does,t show up . the top and bottom picture are just close up examples of the windows . the ones in between are all to be done plus around another 12 of the same large windows that I couldn't get pic,s of .

WFP? 2 days? To be honest, that looks like no more than 1/2 day's work/ Even if cleaned really carefully to avoid runs.

1 / It is more than half a days work believe Me I been in this game a long time and They are real awkward around 7-8 Hours.
2/ As I said in the original it is over 2 Days due to issues gaining access into property as there are more windows that I couldn't take pics of .

Agree with those  above - that's possibly a full day for a single man tops about 3 hrs for a two man crew.

Interested why you need to know what others charge - if it's a 10 hr clean for you then it's 10x your hourly rate ( example 10 X £30 = £300 ) so, if you've charged £400 your quids in however if you charge £200 you already k ow it's underpriced - either drop it or up your price - hope this helps

I can only assume they've had another quote? Unless I'm missing something, I'd say around £200. It doesn't look more than a morning's work. I'd think a minging first clean would be a day perhaps.

1 squid a window frame sounds good to me for the outside. Then double that for the inside.
800 x £1 = 800
800 x £2 = 1600

If it's every 3 months, there's a good chance it will be pretty dirty , me personally just the way I work could get it done in a day on my own - £250-£300 I would be happy with
