Pricing help for pressure washing.
« on: March 16, 2013, 04:49:02 pm »


above photo is a 100 sq metre patio ive been asked to quote for.

As im a window cleaner expanding into pressure washing I dont want to give a window cleaners add on service price but what a "proper" pressure washing company would charge.

From what ive read on here £2.50 sq/m seems to be the right price but only seems a few hours work with a fsc so what would you old hands charge.

Apologies if we dont talk about things like this on this part of the forum  ;)

If that is all it is, it is about 2 hours work, including set up, pack up and a cuppa. I would price a third of a day it is was local (within 10 miles) a bit more for travel time/costs if it is further.

I would say that pic looks more like 50 square metres.
I would say £2.50 per m is little steep for patio cleaning. For block paving it is more like it.(All for local work)

It's approx 50 Sqm @ £1per sqm    but  £80 minimum charge  on any job (local) applies.
If it wasn't a giro week for me i might do it for £60.
Stay clear of the tarmac thats a different price altogether!

I've worked it to 75m which would be about £110+vat depending on the customer. Approx 210 600mm slabs - turbo the whole lot
