Post by: md_cleaning on January 02, 2020, 04:42:34 pm
I charge £25 for a fight of stairs, haven't put it up for years and am just interested to know if I'm way off.

I’m the same I’ve been charging £30 per flight for 15 or 20 years. I’ve put my prices up a few times but I’ve kept stairs the same, time for a price increase for the new year I think!

When do you only do a flight of stairs? Usually it a hall-stairs and landing

I tend to class it as an ‘area’ so it costs the same as a living room

Blimey £4 per stair is good, yes Mike I very rarely do only stairs but charge 30p per square foot for landing and stairs and have priced like this for years although keep mulling over your suggestion of £80 for first room and £40 for rest I think it was without reading back, thanks all for answers as seems I'm charging less than all of you

Which do people clean the quickest a living room or a H/S/L? I would guess it takes slightly longer to clean the stairs and it’s less enjoyable so should cost more than a living room.

Stairs take longer, the way I look at it is that as soon as I move onto a small extraction tool my productivity slows down so I price accordingly.

I charge £50 for a standard set of stairs.....why.....because I hate them so every time I do the stairs I hate them a bit less and love the price a bit more......no one has bothered to question the price.....and sometimes for that I will even wipr down the painted bits!!!!!

£70 for stairs is my charge fpr the average set of 12. For a split staircase eg 2/3 flights, I would charge £80/90.

I try to price stairs by how much carpet I could clean in the same ammount of time. That is, if I'm doing a hall stairs, landing and lounge and I think it will take the same ammountn of time to clean the stairs as it woul to clean the hall and landing I charge the same for the stairs as I would for the hall and stairs. If it's the same ammount of time as for the lounge - I would charge the same as the lounge.
