[bad trippy]

I have been a bit slated for stating a fact
I said that there is an estate that two of us clean WFP ie me and the Mrs and that on this particular estate, we end up with £100 per hour being earned, well £103.50 ph the last time we cleaned it 3 weeks ago.
I also stated that at the other far extreme there are a couple of rounds we do when we go as low as £50 per hour.
Fair comments dont you think?
Well some have slated me for posting it, some have more or less called me a liar !!! (those who think im a bull pooter are welcome to come along with us next time)
Anyway i would just like to pose this question
WOULD IT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR A TWO MAN OPERATION TO TAKE £100 IN AN HOUR ON COMPACT NEW BUILD WORK??
If everbody answers NO then i will aggree iam a bull pooter
cheers

Dont worry trippy i believe you  . On some on our work we get £80ph (2 of us) and its not overly compact, so if work is very compact like you say, there is no reason why you couldnt get £100ph.

You also have to take into consideration that you can charge more in different parts of the country, so a house you are charging £20 might be £13 somewhere else which would make the hourly rate less than yours.

"As low as £50 per hour"; my heart bleeds for you Trippy  .
I believe you but don`t let those that don`t bother you  .

Yes Griff i shouldnt let em bother me, one thing i aint is a "dreamer", i really dont mind being called every name under the sun, as frank he calls me em  .
But there is one thing in this life that gets on my breast fast ,tis being called a dreamer/ liar
My post wasnt a boastfull one or anything like it , the thread was based on the loss of a comercial job, and my reply was on the lines of "who needs comercial these days"

Trippy, most on here at some time throughout their working cycle will earn a rate equivalent to £100 an hour. Yesterday I did a hous that is 60 quid, it takes 30 minutes. I dont do 100 an hour every hour though.

Some on here though who might say what an hourly rate is I wouldnt believe, quite simply because over time you get to learn who talks more bollox than sense, and theres a good few of them. Remember CIU is notorious for bull$hitters, its changed in the last year dramatically. I think because of the recession, more faces in the game, means more crap talked. Ive been run down myself plenty of times on here and been met with a less than welcome response to a few of my posts.

I used to regularly post pics of my days work and got rubbished for that. Why did they do that? So I stopped. And half of the guys that do the critiscising cant use a squeegee. I was talking to a new-comer in town last week. He couldnt believe or hadn't thought that you had to be able to squeegee left-handed as well as right-handed. But figured he knew how to clean windows.

So Trippy, I believe you.

Why?

Because I do.

 

[Sean Dyer]

I thoroughly believe you mate

I did 5.5 hours with someone on downstairs yesterday and on underpriced trad work we did £48 an hour

So how 2 of you with wfp on compact new build stuff cant double that would be beyond me

Also went on to do two gutter cleans and made £240 split between 2

Not a bad day

Well done trippy mate, just keep going who cares if anyone believes you just think about where your gonna spend all that dough

My missus is dragging me off to trafford centre now so i will be alot lighter when i get back as all the cash will be gone

I can understand you getting narked by someone calling you a liar. Especially, if they don`t know you.

Ps. ok I believe you but can we all stop showing off, now please. I`m getting jealous  .
 
Pps. HS, where did you get the left handed squeegee from? 

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

Good for you if you and the Mrs can manage that per hour. We don't get anywhere close but saying that I've only been window cleaning for a year and only now feel I'm really speeding up!

i believe you. I aim for your rates on my own but i am in london. Fair play to you but why start a my diick is bigger than your dicck thread. No one realy brags what they earn unless they are dreamers with small willys...

[dazmond]

im sorry trippy i read your other post on another thread wrong!i thought you meant ON YOUR OWN!!!

if you half that figure to £50 and £25 an hour then that is acheivable on your own.

on some commercial i can make £40-£60 an hour but not hour after hour!!other end of the scale on very compact cheap work its more like £25 an hour.

im upping prices this month on the cheaper compact work!hope i dont lose too many!!

Hang on Dartford. You said in the last thread that you thought it was the "Going rate"

"daz he is saying he and hes mrs between them earn between 50 and 100 pound an hour. id say for a 2 person operation thats the going rate..you must have some verey underpriced work there my friend. "

So 100 quid an hour is the going rate for 2 peope? That's when the bullpoo alarm goes off mate. You are making 50 to 100 an hour for 2 people sound like the norm. That's bullshz1t in most of the UK judging by what I read on here.

Of course it's possible with good prices, no access issues, and if you both work hard.  I'm surprised anyone doubted it.  It's 50 an hour each and I could manage £50 an hour if the work was  compact and well priced.  My work doesn't tend to be compact though.  Also, in places where it is, it is usually older work that is lagging behind on price.  Certainly possible.  Sustainable day in, day out?  Probably not but does depend on fitness levels/age.  More typical for most is £140 - £220 a day with fluctuations depending on motivation levels, pricing, region, method used etc.
