Thanks dave ;) Someone thinking along the same lines as me!

I counted roughly 40+ windows. So on 2 blocks thats over 80.

I would say thats a fair price considering a lot of thw windows are split into 2.

Gaz, £18 :o You'll never make money charging that!

Gaz mate, I'm fast with the pole, after maybe 3/4 cleans I could get them down to 30mins a block but 20mins?  No chance mate - there's 2 identical blocks opposite (different management company) and a friend of mine does them - he makes about £350 a day on residential, charging the same as me (our prices are feeble over here) and it takes him about 70/80 mins to do the 2 blocks, they're all large windows although the pics don't do them justice - plus with some many of them being split windows it takes a bit longer to do them.  I'll try and get them down to 20mins a block but I don't reckon its poss

Paul Griffin, oyou are bang on - £60, thats what I charged, was gonna charge £70 but the budget is £60.

Gary I know I'm the master of the pole, but seriously mate, the 18 doesn't reach the tops,plus there are velux windows next to the curved windows, they have to be done too so I had to get the 25ft out, but yes I will be able to do them a lot faster next time - just as well I've got them on a 3years contract once a month, price goes up 15% per year.

i honestly think i could do each block from a ladder in 30minutes so thats 1 hour for both blocks so gaz at £18 a block sounds spot on
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

well I can tell you that the last trad cleaners took 2 hours for 2 of them, my mate who cleans the other blocks used to live in the one of the blocks I cleaned today and I use to speak to them when they were round.  30mins a block?  sorry but no chance.

Does,nt matter really how fast you can clean them! but what does matter is how good you,ve cleaned them when you,ve finished and that your happy with the money that you have received for doing so.
