It's a lot of windows but it looks pretty straight forward. I would be exhausted after doing that. I estimate I would need a full day to do that outside. In winter it might extend into the following day.  I would always add extra for issues that always pop up when cleaning.

My quote would be my hourly rate plus a bit extra.

I would also price it on an 12 weekly clean. They might say they want it done every 8 weeks but when they time comes they will want to renegotiate the clean interval for the same 8 weekly clean price.

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

Very straight forward clean so i have done you a price that i would charge - which is £395 + VAT

one man would/should do this in around 7.5 hrs solo but i would usually have a 2 man team on this type of work and they would do it in between 3 to 3.5 hrs as a pair

We do several blocks very similar to this two people takes about 2:5 to 3 hours once up to speed, will take longer on first clean price wise £350 -400 depending  where you are in the country

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.

Hi.And thanks for all the replys .Our quote is £350 every 8 weeks and £450 every 12 weeks( we might go for £50 extra still deciding on that)
The only awkward windows are the sides of the bay especially on the third floor other than that quite straight forward .
First clean would take longer but nor longer than  6-7 h  i think .Last clean was done 10 weeks ago.They don't look bad at all but there where done off the ladder  :o Yes I know...madness .they decided to change the window cleaner as they would not provide PLI.

That’s what I’d be going in at.

I’m unsure how you’ve come up with that figure though Mr D as you don’t know how many flats there are.

I recently got asked for a price for a block of flats for a property management company I’ve do a bit of work for on another block of flats in town. This time it’s just the communal windows every 3 months. Inside and out they got a price of £9.00 a window, I got the job 😂😂

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.
