I've been doing builder's cleans for a local mini housing estate, outside only, and they work out fairly lucrative.

We clean them just before the new owner moves into them (personally I think it would be better if we cleaned them before they were viewed?!).

There's another cleaning company who do the insides (two ladies); and we're tasked to do the outsides and we're getting £50 for a small 3/4/5 bed detached house (I can't tell the difference between the 4 or 5 bedroomed houses); no access problems either.

It's a gift (as they say in Northern Ireland).

We don't use anything special; we do it trad; lots of Fairy and a new scraper blade does the trick.

My advice is to price new builds as if you don't want them and if you get them; bonus!

Just read that cheers m8, I used white spirit on a couple of windows, then poled the windows after they dried and there was no white film, guess I will see in the morning.  :

Oil flow or even traffic film remover help and scraper with a new blade and hard work.


Once you have done a few it gets easier
