i think £20 is reasonable enough , though that is the low end price. with fuel prices going up and that, this price could go up. I know the more experienced washer will easily charge more.

[gordon fraser]

?? £20 for what ?

[drive surgeon]

usually between £1 and £3.50 a sq metre. 

[Milltown Cleaning]

?? £20 for what ?

£20 for the whole job.......only kidding.

Sorry was tired last nite, £20 per hour

[Mike Halliday]

£20 per hour is nothing short of ludicrous!

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Thanks guys I have settled for £2.50 per sq metre for cleaning and £2.50 per square metre for sealing.
Should I charge more for the sealing as I have been told that  sealing is a royal pain in the rear.

Matt,
If can be a pain so if you have not done sealing before then go on a course and learn properly. At £2.50 per sq mt you will loose out big time.

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Roger would I be looking about doubling that then?

[Roger Oakley]

Yes at least, we only use Resiblock which is expensive, our prices start from about £7.00 per sq mt + vat for sealing only

[Richy L]

It'll cost you about £1.50 per metre in sealant alone.

Then add the labour for two coats, plus it has to be a dry day, which is impossable to plan for. Plus your labour and expenc for sanding(if blockwork)

Dont sell yourself short, im new to sealing too mind

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Thanks guys.
Does anyone know of any pressure washing and sealing courses in the midlands?

[Richy L]

Yes at least, we only use Resiblock which is expensive, our prices start from about £7.00 per sq mt + vat for sealing only

Where can you buy resiblock and how much is it for a 25ltr drum?

[Roger Oakley]

Thanks guys.

Sealing courses are done by the following
Resiblock (Basildon Essex)
PICS I think they are in Newbury.
Smartseal, I think these guys hold courses all over the UK.
Matt do a google search for these companies as there web-sites might give you some more info.

[Richy L]

....also Roger,

On your samples on your site I see you have cleaned limestone (bathstone) nicely. Did you only use pressure, or did you use chemicals? if so, which ones?

Cheers

Contact Resiblock direct for prices as it will depend on what product and how much you want. We are Resiblock contractors so our buy-in prices will be different to what you will get.

[Richy L]

I pay about £80 including postage and VAT at the mo for 25ltrs, will it be mush more do you think?
