After Years of working for a local council being paid peanuts doing hospital, schools and O.A.P Home Kitchens I  am looking at starting on my own doing Kitchen deep cleans & High level cleans (Not the extraction system) I wanted to know if any one out there is in this business and what is the best way to research pricing of a job? I was looking at £20 per hour with a minimum 4 hour charge is this to cheap? All advice on going alone in this business and anything I may have overlooked would be great

i do this type of work and charge similar price but also have set prices for ovens fryers extractors, charge hourly rate for floors walls , i know other comp . charge more but i have no cleaning certificate to give after the clean. you would need some basic training on cleaning ovensetc,

Thanks for the advice I have had experience doing ovens in the hospitals we usually use Suma Frit for the ovens and filters but for metals that easily tarnish we use brillo it just eats grease. I noted you were talking about being certified the council I work for has never done this  I wanted to know is there somewhere where I can find more about this?

I hate cleaning kitchens, I can`t believe someone wants to set up a business just cleaning kitchens...........

Every kitchen I do I have doubled my charge from the previous one because I hate them so much, yet I keep getting the jobs, so I guess that has to be a good sign for you as it seems to me that no one likes doing kitchens.

I would recommend you buy a decent steam cleaner, and charge plenty because they always take twice as long as you expect, my last one worked out at about 90 quid per hour and the custy paid it quite happily and booked us up for 6 months time, Great....got to do it again............I hate kitchens and your mad,
But good luck anyway...
