You can’t get enough for em you’ll earn more cleaning houses in the time they takes  smoking or no smoking these days.

No, YOU can’t get enough for them.

I do very well out of my 3 pub/restaurants. All are cleaned before 8am (which suits me fine), all are paid online within a week of the clean and all being in a good chunk more per hour than my best paying domestic work does (which is already a very healthy rate)

Just because YOU can’t make something work Nigel, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Please stop assuming everybody has the same limitations as YOU do.

He CAN'T, this is where the problem originates.

The ridiculous   answer with lots of lol’s

How to price the window cleaning  for a pub:

[NWH]

You clean a pub and it takes I don’t know 20 minutes half hour outside go in and do a few insides in the bar area,if you make as much as you can get on houses crack on with that coz I wouldn’t be.
If you are getting similar how long do you think that’ll take to get round the pub if it’s a local one,I can hear it now you’ll never guess what the window cleaner wants for an hour and half’s work and yeah I’ll finish this off with a lol coz I think in this case it’s a valid one.

[the king]

At least there is the smoking ban now.
Before that inside pubs was a horrible thing to do

i had some domestic work that were as bad as old days in pubs don't see it these days as much thankfully 🙄

[windowswashed]

I clean dreaded lead's on a pub with wfp (easy peasy), but only the outsides plus three holiday homes tied in with the pub next to it. It's profitable otherwise I wouldn't do it.

[Kurtv]

Gonna go give him a price tmrw. I'm thinking 50 windows = £150 . This reasonable ?

[@Woking Windows]

I clean about 8 pubs between £40-60 pounds per pub every 2 ish weeks. This is in Surrey. If you come to me and said you wanted £150 every 2 weeks I would politely decline

How long per pub does it take, on the average?

[@Woking Windows]

Approximately 2 hours per pub. Not the best in price but when you have a few it all adds up. Plus I get in early when the cleaners are in and get done by 9am. Good start to the day.

I understand this. Sometimes when you work at times you otherwise wouldn't (early/awful weather) it's not a bad idea. I used to have (before Covid put paid to their business) a job that was an early start and largely indoors and importantly I could largely turn up on any day without notice. It worked well for me.

[NWH]

I used to find them an inconvenience tbh having to do them on time every time I much prefer to be free to do more or less what jobs I want from week to week,the only time I’ll tie myself down is if I’m doing domestics that take a day or a morning clean and get paid within a few days at most.
When you’ve only been in this job a few years you’ll take anything more or less until when you’ve been at it longer you look back and think better of it,a new manger comes in etc you’re out can’t be doing with stuff like this.

I avoid pubs and shops for this reason. Covid has also taught me to not rely too heavily on commercials either. Glass is glass - make it work for you. (Or me, or someone else)

[NWH]

That’s the thing just because you can get in there early means nothing really or at least should do,all the time you clean a window you want to be getting what you would be doing your regular stuff just because it’s early work is not a good enough reason for me to want to do them.
Once the manager realises you earn more for an hours work than he gets for a day you’ll be down the road,seen it all too often  I do the odd commercial that I’ve done for years and it’s not because it’s an early start.

[Smudger]

I agree there in fact if it’s an early start or odd hours you should be charging a premium

Never thought I would say this but NHW is right £40-60 for two hours work doing pubs is madness earn far more doing easy domestic 9-5 .

[@Woking Windows]

You maybe right, It could been seen as madness but I see it a different way. Let’s just say I have 5 pubs at £40 each and I do them every 2 weeks that’s £80 per month per pub. That’s £400 per month for easy work when I’m up early anyway. Going back to the topic, good luck to the man who puts in a quote for £150 and I hope you get it 👍🏼

[NWH]

I stopped doing jobs like this because it wasn’t worth it even though it was regular,they don’t all let you in early either I used to do a couple and I couldn’t start until 8 at the earliest by the time I’d got away I’d done peanuts to what I could do cleaning domestics.
Like I say a lot of pubs if you quote what’s right compared to what you’ll earn doing domestics you’ll never get any down most parts of the south,a lot I see doing them are trad only or work just to top up their pension.

[NWH]

I see a chap that cleans 3 pubs he just uses scrim only hasn’t got a squeegee uses 1 damp and 1 dry,that’s got to be worth a lol 🤣🥲
