Agree with SWR.  About 3 - 4 hours for me, maybe 4 - 5 on first clean.

Nice wide brush with 4 jets on full heat setting, headphones in and get the job done.  £300 min
I’m not being funny, but there are loads that talk about £30 an hour being a good rate. On that basis, if they get three quotes you haven’t a hope. We quoted a block a similar size with balconies so the cleaner had to go into the flats to do those and he was £200.

£30 an hour is not a good hourly rate anymore mate....maybe 10 years ago but not now.....id be gutted if i only earned £30 an hour for ANY of my work i clean.....
price higher/work harder!

There’s a thread on Facebook of someone charging £10 for 4 bed houses with numerous people saying that’s £150 a day and a good wage. £40k a year.

I tend to price by number of flats. How many are there?

That’s like ‘how much d’you charge to clean windows mate...?’
Not really. I tend to charge £15 for a flat assuming there’s no complexity. I’ll drop for multiple flats. A small block probably £12 per flat. I wouldn’t bother going out to quote it.

I priced these flats up last year and got the job, in London. It was priced per window but equated between £55 and £110 a flat. 5 blocks of them. The prices varied because it depended how many blocks were cleaned.

Thats why I won't do it by the number of flats.

nobody works 52 weeks of the year(46 more like)

nobody works 5 days a  week during those 46 weeks either.theyll be the odd half days or days off here and there for whatever reason,bad weather,bank holidays,etc....

52 x£750=£39,000 again not practical so you need to earn more per hour to reach £40,000+ over the course of a full year.. ;) :)

Is this because I’m a pikey or because I’ve bought a motorhome?

I just had a quick look and to me its a £200.  I would push it to £250 for the sides and crack on.  looks like 3 or 4 hours of work.

Does no one read posts properly any more?  ::)roll

Nice and loud ...

The OP said: "EVERY 8 WEEKS"
The OP said they were being done off of ladders but there were insurance issues.
