My own price would be somewhere around £40-45 for the outside, and only that because I am WFP.
Imagine you are still working off ladders and price accordingly.
Ian giles, are you drunk?
tony
Drunk??
Don't follow you??
At £45.00 on a repeat clean for the outside that would be no more than 30 minutes work at the very most.
If you are WFP, then if you price work at the same rate as you would have done were you still using ladders for window cleaning then you are going to earn decent money.
If you price it by the TIME you think it will take, your mindset will still be that of labour only, you will instinctively price your labour at a similar rate as you would off ladders, and as you will be at the very least 2 to 3 times faster using WFP on a job like this, your price for the outside will be incredibly cheap!
And being as your running costs and initial investment is way, way higher for WFP, you are going to be earning (in real terms) less than you were off ladders!!
Which is why I say to try and price the job as if you were still using ladders....though if I was still using ladders, I would admittedly be more expensive than than £45.00.
But if I can work at a minimum of a pound per minute worked I know I am doing ok.
I wouldn't mind traveling 30 minutes each way to earn £120 (job total (ish)) if I know that the job itself is going to take no more than two, maybe two and a half hours.
Today I have a very similar thing myself, quite a lot of driving actually.
First job, £55 = 25 minute journey.
2nd job, £15, heading back towards home...15 minutes from the 1st job and £15.
3rd job, another 15 minute journey, again, back towards home. £35.00.
Job 4 a mile or so from job 3...£30.
Next house a mile and a half journey = £30.
Last job of the day, got to get there for about 1pm...a 30 minute journey AWAY from home and £120. It should take me about 2 hours (I hope!!) and hopefully home by 4ish.
total time away from home, about 9 hours, but I will have at least a 30 minute break along the way somewhere.
But you do the sums, that's a lot of driving, but it is a good turnover in anyones book........apart from JD's of course
Just gone 6.30am, time I was on my way
