If you didn't have to drive far for this job, I would say it will take 2 people well less than 1hr, probably 40 mins tops for 2 men using a van mount system.  It's not even worth considering the ladder.  I'm thinking £65 for well under an hours work is nearly a pound a minuet between 2 people.  I don't see that 80p - £1/min is bad income.  You could price it higher say 120 or 150 but then you run the risk of only having the job for a few months and then being undercut.

£65 three storey is no more difficult than 2 storey 2 people will do this in  45min WFP

That's approximately 70 windows each in 45 mins - about 40 seconds per window!

I haven't been WFP for long, but that seems mighty fast!

Anybody else think the same?

at £1.50 per window unit and a tenner for side windows i make it £90 (and that is not adding extra for the fact that it is 3 storey.

maybe that was a bit giddy, more like just under 2, but my point is that 70 for wfp is good price, because definitely not much more than 1hr - 1.5 on wfp... so thats nearly 50-70 an hr

Sorry, Ronnie,

I was looking at my own 'workings out' which were done using 'panes of glass'

So I've mixed myself up and my reply was a 'ba**s up'

Apologies.

looking at that picture if you where doing it with ladders you would need someone to foot the ladder as you would need to slope the ladder out past the
plants at the front ,also the side looks a bit inacessable from what i can see ,
its a wfp job not a trad one, so £60
I started out with nothing......I still have most of it.

Actually hot water will sheet faster than a splayed brush, try it sometime if you can. A good scrub and a high flow of hot water will rinse faster than a splayed brush
