how much should i charge?

Posted by andy (andy), 18 January 2004

Hi there!

I have a mate who works does electrical work for someone. This someone buy property's every month but he needs a cleaner.

My friend said he had a try doing the window's but he finds it to much hard work. but he thinks i could do a whole property on my own in one week. I would have 1 propertys per week to do for how ever long.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE THAT SOMEONES COMPANY PER DAY OR PER HOUR OR PER WEEK?

Any help on this would help me alot thanks.

P.S. the property buyer is french, 25 years old, very very rich and he pays plumbers and electricians about £25 per hour 8 hours per day.

Cheers again folks!

ANDY.

Trouble is you would not be able to keep up your windows.
What you are talking about is a builders clean. In Bristol buiders pay £12 per hour. That's less than the windows and your bloke could go bust leaving you out to dry.

by the sound of it you dont no much about london work aswell or you wouldnt be asking for advice people give there opinion on here and try and help others. i think that was well out off order as he was just trying to help.i to took a contract out with stanley racing betting shops and yes my other worked sufferd through it you never no where you stand with contract work and yes they could go bust i dont think its worth dropping your regular work if you have any but if you have and things go wrong with this contract work you will be introuble

if it takes a week and is in london and is a house whats it called buckingham palace Huh

Posted by andy (andy), 20 January 2004

look people! sorry for being rude and stuff but i guess you guy's dont know how price main inner city prices.

The reason why he will never go bust is because there is so many companys backing him all the way.

AND yes its bigger then buckingham palace!!!

He buy's mansions and old hospitals and renovates them to offices and builds new offices on the river. That how rich he is.

Anyway besides the point. i have a rough idea how much to charge, but im just woundering if theres any londoners here to help as they are familier to pricing such jobs.

And when i posted this advert 1 week ago no one gave advice, so so much for this site helping people. ha!

and its happend on more then 1 occasion.

so i thought this is the way to attract attention to my advert.

First of all don't let your other work suffer.

£20 per hour easy, if you make some good contacts you can get them into help. Pay them £12-£15 per hour which is excellent cleaners pay and make £5-£8 per hour on thier back. I've got a good tip so email me mark_binnie@hotmail.com
