Hi guys i've been asked to do a job on a basic 4bed house cleaning all the upvc window frames and ledges only. Just the frames and ledges,
I've quoted £80 Is this about right as i've never done this sort of job before.

[simon knight]

Are you not also cleaning the glass?

[Mr Sparkle]

No he just wants the upvc cleaning and looking like new

I've quoted £80 Is this about right as i've never done this sort of job before.

Higher.
This is classified as an additional service by window cleaners and charge more accordingly.
Can't get my head around why they wouldn't want the 'glass' doing as after you managed to rub a cloth across the glass it will need doing then.

[simon knight]

It all depends on the state they're in and how long you reckon it'll take you to bring 'em up to new.  £80 for new looking frames and sills doesn't seem over-the-top to me.

Of course if it takes you just 45 minutes you might have to lurk around in the garden for an hour or 2 to justify the price

Good luck.

sounds like bother leave well alone

[Mr Sparkle]

It doesn't look to bad, I'm thinking should get it clean and looking like new in about 2hours, Well i hope i do : :

Ive done these before i would of charge at least £100 plus depending on the size off the windows  its hard work i did a three bedroom house and taken me a good four to five hours and it needs a windows clean when finished because they get covered

[tony talbot]

 charge them £100 a throw in a free window clean

If your doing just the frames and ledges on a four bedroom house it shouldnt take any longer than an hour even if they are minging.

[bad trippy]

The glass in the windows are gonna be well trashed after you have cleaned the frames

[jonnyald]

how do you plan on doing it? let us know how long it took start to finish . i couldnt imagine spending more than 15 minutes per frame ,tops .

[Simon@ Clearview contractors]

Make sure it's just muck/algae/dirt on the frames/sills, if they are discoloured with years of fairy liquid suds they can gofrom grey to a lighter shade of pink. You'll never get these looking like new.

Be warned, the custie may just be trying it on to get away with not paying.

spot clean a downstairs one for them to know what to expect

And throw in window clean, takes you an extra 10 secs while your at the window but will make all the difference to the job finish

[gr cleaning solutions]
