I had previously posted that a customer of ours is being paid £56.00 per house for 2000 council house properties = £112,000
This is running a business.
Cleaning the gutters at 10 houses for £250.00 or less is not.

  switched it off and was thankfull how lucky i am; granted i have made a lot of my own luck

why do you think someone is greedy because they charge more , surely you want as much for your labour as possible after all it must be the customer who decides if the price is fair regards alan

Stand alone houses i would vac for £50
They are all in a row so probably half a days work so if it was in my area i'd still be happy with £250. No need to rob him.

Its easier to tell from the front pics, Id say each property is about 8 metres across, that makes two runs of 160 metres.

Just emptying gutters I charge £3.00 a metre, that works out at £480.00


Someone suggested difficulties due to access, I dont think I seen a row of 10 houses with such easy rear access, theres some numptys here.

As Stan also said, use a stand-off, use a rojak.

It looks like about 5 hours work to me.

480/5 = £96.00 per hour.

I reckon 2 an hour, but for arguments sake if it takes a day, id have a guy footing and bung him say £70.00 and id want 300

call it £400 for a nice round figure

But if pushed id do it for £300.00 i dont think its particuarly hard work

Well said Ronnie, Im sure he's on drugs. Severly mind altering drugs that totally remove him from reality.

Glyn must earn a big round 1K a day the way he flabbers about on here about running a business. I always find his posts strangely amusing. I do wonder why he bothers, it must be tediously boring preaching to us retards with the same response, week in week out.


Still, whatever floats his boat.
