I hate to say it...but as your question has no real meaning at all, I am guessing you have misjudged your situation and drastically under quoted. Good luck!

Post by: swanson on August 11, 2020, 09:00:57 am: I’ve done a lot of builders cleans
We charged for a 5 bed detached £ 230 for both cleans but very hard work would never do them again
To much grief.

I guess if you are happy to go up ladders and trad, and you are happy to charge appropriately for it, you can make some money from them.

Not one for us though. We aren’t setup for them and they are a distraction away from regular cleans

So much hassle that i downed tools and walked away from what I'd earned.
It felt great on the last one i ever did

Post by: Bungle on August 11, 2020, 07:12:09 pm: Plenty of easier work out there. Leave it to some other mug. We’ve all been there and done a builders clean and said never again!

Any experienced shiner will tell you to not bother.
