£70 hour & half to clean, easy job!

[seandyer2003]

Actually, a splayed brush will cover glass MUCH quicker,

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

you got a diy hot system wayne?? i am getting a bigger system in van next year about march and wondered whther to do hot water whilst im at it ?

Streuth! Some of you are soooo cheap!

My own price would be around the £100 mark and about an hour or so's work at the most for one person.

It's 3 storey so you have to price accordingly, off a ladder it would be a hard 2 hour job, 3rd floors are always hard work, the ladder is heavy to lug around for a start (well, a decent one is) and even though the windows are easy to clean it'll still take it out of you.
Some of you are pricing so cheaply you really are shooting yourselves in the foot.

If you are working off ladders then your hard work (and risk) deserve to be far better rewarded, if you are WFP then what is the point of all that investment and increased running costs if you have lowered your relative price to the same level as before!!
Some of you are setting your sights far too low.

My target rate is to work at an average of £1.00 per minute worked (£60.00 per hour) But to average that there has to be times when you far exceed that target, and hopefully not too many when you dip below it.
But this doesn't mean you earn £60.00 an hour for 8 hours a day, every day, far from it, but if you want to 'EARN' 25k a year - and by 'EARN' I mean your wage and not your turnover, then you really do need to think along those lines...unless of course you are happy with banking somewhere around 17-18k per year and settling for a wage of under £300 a week....

[Roy Harding]

Totally agree with Ian on this one, was shocked how cheap you boys are saying.

I would charge £120 per 4wk clean or £140 every 8wks

Roy

[Dean Aspects]

If i wanted the job then i would charge £75 and it should only take an hour to do it
As i have a full round though i would say £100 and either figure is a good hourly rate

[Captain Scarlet]

i would price around £140 on an 8 week too. I cant believe so many people shoot themselves in the foot and put themselves out of a good wage!!

[ronnie paton]

so some of you could sub to me and we would both make ££££££ any one in the north west

[gerard mcmanus]

I get it at £45 and think it would take me two hours, I know very cheap complared to most but there is no way I would what some of you guys would ask for that up here in scotland.

Also, one question. A few mentioned £1 per window, so would you charge the toiet windows at the side the same as the main window above the entrance?

[JSMC]

i reckon 60 quid. i too also live in scotland. ye wid get yer ham haws toed for ripping folk aff up here.

£150 allday long,some of the prices posted on this thread tell you a lot about what work some have and there prices.It looks like everyone`s stopped pricing from a ladder these days,i said pricing like this will eventually kill commercial and it is.

My qoute of £45 was from a ladder, and based on how long it would take, thats £75+ per hour that you charge, I couldn't justify that to my customers. My overheads aren't that high.

£45 is a joke you are not a proper WC running a proper business if that is true what you say about your price,i couldn`t have done it for that 20 years ago.

you are not a proper WC running a proper business

you shouldnt declare things like that as a statement of fact, when it is clearly your opinion.

I pay tax, licences and insurance cost of car, accountant fee's, equipement etc just like you, and am regestered with HMRC, I have a business account etc. So I am definately a proper business and window cleaner.

I am not wanting to argue here, I would just charge less.

Well the person i was having the discussion with has most of the commercial around here and his price is 50.00 and got the job i think.

he does tuns of work like this has 3 vans on the road and about 8 staff  dont no how he does it for that price but he does... his work is good too as i used to work for him.


dave

[NWH]

He has 3 staff that do it for him you sumed it up in 1 foul swoop,this is the way this kind of work is going driving prices down to the point it`s not worth having.If the person organising the WC said to me theres a firm that will do it for £50 i wouldn`t even waste my time looking round it.That guy that has 3 blokes working for him i`ll bet would never entertain doing it for £50 unless he seriously needed the work in order to pay them,most people would bite your hand off at £50 and i don`t blame them but as for the quality of work well that`s another thing.I`d like to be a fly on the wall in the office looking at quotes for 40 and £50,they won`t beleive there luck.

[dave0123]

He has 8 staff and 3 vans,


he doenst need anymore work he has tuns n tuns of commerical 100% commercial obv thats how he gets all the work me must be making about a tenner out of that 50 quid.. i can understand they fact that he is not cleaning the job and so on but 50 pound is seriously low thats why my prices would have to be around 60 70 to get a look in  :
