High peeps,i am doing the carpet at an eot next week,i have been asked if i could do the final clean for them,now this is something i have done in the past,but it`s been a few years,so my pricing will be a bit out,so minus vaccing,as that will be a different entity..

3bed 3 story terrace,,top- floor 1 large room,skirtings switches,windows,
Middle floor,small bedroom,small bathroom,and double bedroom.
Ground,lounge/ diner,small kitchen,oven ,hob,inside cupboards normal letting agy spec of clean..
I am guessing 2 hr kitchen,2 hr bathroom 3 hrs the rest 1 hour spare in case  £16 p/hr inc materials,sound ok ? £128

Depends on a various things Mark. How dirty it is, is there furniture, are you doing appliences (fridges,freezers,ovens), is it just you doing the clean or more etc.

£16 per hr is ok, though depends on your area-cheap for some,expensive for others. For what you stated i would go higher, end of day though if your happy earning £128  then fine.

Cheers

Are you paying the wife ;D.

I always give a job price not hourly rate. Did you get carpets with the clean.

No she has taken over,she worked for them years ago,so knows the house.
I have done there carpets a couple of years ago,going to be much easier without any of the furniture.
Mrs always gets a bit peeved when we work together,as i will be charging double that,and will be out in a couple of hours,will prob be giving her a hand to as i have to hang around for a job a couple of hours later

Hi Mark

£120 that is well under priced for the area, a house like that would take 2 days at least.
Good luck with the clean.

Regards

3 beds, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom over 3 floors = I'd quote it at about 14 hours, so at £120 its well under priced I'd say. 

Depends how mucky it is of course, but usually eot cleans are more than just a dust and a hoover, you'd usually expect to be washing all the woodwork and cleaning all the windows as well as spending hours degreasing the kitchen and oven.

Hope she gets it done in a day! 

Cheers

Better than nothing.
Just do say 4 hours total mainly in bathroom and kitchen.
Quick wipe round the rest with no vaccing.

Well i did the carpet clean today,think it must be let private,as the place was a mess,stair carpets not held down,no underlay,so carpets threadbare ,draught marks,outlines of where rugs had been.And as for cleaning,think i would have walked away,it was a minger
