If he did 22 @ £6 then someone paid him a quid short

[G O A]

that is some going it takes me average 8 hrs to do 20 houses at 6 quid,
i found in wales that cleaners are charging 4 or 5 pound for houses some have 17 window frames with 3 windows in most.they started at 7 pond but just put them up to 8 and 9 and only lost 1

my husbands work varies. sometimes he does houses all day long and he will end up with about £15 a hour but he has some commercial work where he gets £50 an hour. we are in north west too where prices are supposed to be lower than down south

Interesting that this thread started in 2003 with talk of £30 an hour - 5 years later I wonder what the average earnings per hour for a self employed window cleaner are now???

It does depend on area, speed and organisation I think.

I was earning £12 per hour cleaning windows in west london, but that was in 1991 i imagine i could earn a lot more to-day.

[windowcleaninginessex.co.uk]

I try to earn at least £20 per hour but there are some days you can earn more, depends on job

[Davie T]

Its the same old complaint I make again.
Unless it is considered to be helpful, why resurrect oldposts on 2 occasions?
I make the mistake of not reading when the post originated and only on the last page realise that is so old!

I generaly sharge for an average house with 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs window at the front and 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs window with a pation door at the back about £5-6 if that same house had a conservatory then I'd charge about £7-8 (remembering I wouldnt be able to do one of the upstairs windows).   I live just south of Birmingham.  I generally do about £15 per hour on average with the odd f*g break hear and there.  Does this sound about right or am I undercharging (I really don't see that customers would pay any more though).

Hi Paul, what would you charge me for a first floor flat, 2 front and 2 back?
I'm in church hill.

hi guys i'm a cleaner in west yorks using wfp on residential work working on my own £30 is easy acheivable working with the lad today working 8 till 2 we did 58 houses earning £392 which is over £60 an hour commercial work is more i know a lot of cleaners and there all roughly the same.
    hope this helps!

[julian1971]

£30 an hour, is that all? I dont live in the south east, do an excellent job and easily make £40 an hour. Some work its £70 an hour! Get a reach and wash system, You won't regret it.

[Jimmywidge]

I live in the southeast and I charge around the £27.00 per hour.  It works out that way over the course of an 8 hour day. However with more and more people losing their jobs and taking up window cleaning to fill in time while looking for another job the price per hour has dropped alittle as this time last year was earning more.
Your hourly rate should not be less then £25.00 per hour if its your only job ! 

[laddermonkee]

Icharge £15 for a standard semi , i liv in west london maybe that makes a difference.

[GWCS]

I look to take £40-50 an hour - however 30p in every pound comes to me directly as a wage and the rest 70p go to the business for supplies, new equipment, insurance, marketing all that type of thing.

So if your talking actually earning £30 an hour id need to be taking about £100 an hour.

So all those bragging about how much they "earn" an hour you really need to take a step back and work out your costs first.

[kaz and pete]

hi we work in the midlands and charge on average £10 for an average house but obvioulsy more the bigger the house, there are two of us that work together and most times we can reach £30 per hour but if you work that out it is £15 per hour each. we don't do anything less than £10 it's not worth it and we only average 4 days a week so we have always got time to catch up as it rains so often
