Hello everyone

I’ve been asked to do gutters clearing out moss etc.

I use sky vac Atom.

Also to clean fascia soffit and guttering
I will be using wfp to do this
Details are 80 metres-ish

Property is a detached bungalow
It’s extended so ground floor and 1st floor
F/s/g  is only 8 feet high the majority of it
And the guttering is black not white as fascia and soffits

Other things of note a lot of dome cctv cameras to be careful of

Also on gutter vacuuming the gutters are tight to the building

I have an idea of price but a few more opinions might help

Their a good customer for 2 monthly
Clean has indoor swimming pool
Lots of glass and now glass panel balconies
Out bar pizza oven etc 😁

Many thanks lee

You won’t get a sensible answer on here.
What were you thinking?

Maybe charge £100 an hour for the first couple of hours?

Charge what you want,there are no rules!

Whatever your happy with the job...

Personally I'd want to be hitting at least £70 per hour so if you think it'll take 4 hours I'd charge £280....

Whatever you charge make sure you add a pizza and a beer to the quote
Could really be cheeky and ask for a tray of beans in the pool as well 🤣🤣

Sounds like a cushy one to me

if the gutters are very tight in,and full, i tend to walk away from those  .  quite recently an asian fellow messaged me  wanting a gutter leak fixing turned out it was cast iron.  i wouldnt do it, explained it was sealed originally with molten lead -he wouldnt take no for an answer  so i ignored his messages  .i know my limits

[james peters]

I tend to use a weak hypo solution  these days,  cuts down the amount of scrubbing.
also as its a bungalow, I would rinse off with a gentle pressure wash.
I normally book jobs like this in on a saturday morning.

how long it will take  X  wanted hourly rate  + small allowance for unforseen ball ache  =   price

Im so glad I don't clear gutters out anymore.always hated it.....

No gutter clearing
No gutter repairs
No inside window cleaning
No inside conny roof cleaning

I don't do any of the above jobs anymore and haven't for many years now.....I still get asked every now and then.the answer is always NO.....I wouldn't do them for any price these days!😄

is that relevant to the post ??

Lee.

Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath and go for it - break it down into small parts - for washing how long would it take to clean between brackets ( say 5 mins ) x that by the brackets (say 40 sections = 3.5 hrs) x this by twice your window clean average rate

Gutter clearing a bungalow would take around 45 mins tops

add that together for a price - then do the job if it takes longer next time charge more - if quicker then you got it right

  Hey Lee,
  i would be charging  4 pounds a metre for clearing the Gutters,   4 pounds a metre cleaning G/F/S,
  that's 80 metres of gutters full of moss, that's a good few hours work, constantly emptying your
  Guttervac & flushing out the the carbon/poles and hose when they get heavy & blocked, you need
to price these jobs well or it is simply not worth it for peanuts.

[Smudger]

Sounds like you haven't learnt anything ....

Thanks chaps for your thoughts

Daz I think 🤔 you’re thinking about same price as me ?

I’ve done about 35 gutter clears
Since buying Atom in September 2020

But
Probably just  8 f/s/g cleans
and about as many Connie roof cleans
From having WFP since august 2006 🤣🤣

So bit rusty on upvc cleaning prices

It’s difficult as if you do it in a day or less
It seems a lot from customers prospective
But it’s hard work
Definitely compared to window cleaning

Haven’t said that I’ve been quoted £140
And £98

By 2 different electricians to supply and fit a led bathroom light
Less than an hour’s work 🙄😁

Obviously charge what you like but want to be fair with a good customer

Thanks again All 👍
