I usually recon on 3-3 1/2 hrs- roughly apprximately. At £40 per hr thats £120 plus VAT.

I have edged the prices up in the last few weeks after a big hike 12 months ago. I am still having customers say "Is that all?" so I am still egding prices up. What with the insurance premium rises  etc our prices need to go up. We have the usual 50 quid a suite chap by us and he is always complaining that he is hard up. Mind you that all his standard of cleaning  is worth.

Don't compete with them.  One of my main competitors in Blackpool regularly posts on here so I won't mention names, but we are miles apart on price.  I don't think I have ever lost to him on a quote and I believe I am the most expensive cc in this area.

Hi James C (Pileprofile)

Fantastic website, how much does it cost to get one up and running?

Just one observation - On your homepage, with the scrolling message for the winter warmer offer, you have spelt receive as ' recive'  just thought I'd mention it incase you hadn't noticed  :)

Regards Ollie

You want to get yer prices put up lad, I would charge £78 for that size lounge and that would be my standard clean which compares with your gold.

Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistakes guys no realy English is my bad point

My prices are based on silver packages where you will find I dont move much my Gold package is much higher priced and generaly the market I aim at and generaly get but Cornwall has some poor folk to cater for too, stain protecting is a gimick on my flyers I drop, saying that they get free hall and stairs cleaned if they have there lounge or room stain garded diffrent sales approach, If any one wants info on my web site give me a bell ill be more than happy too help
