I used to clean 5 homes in West Yorkshire from 2001 - 2004.
Average price 120 pound and took 2 of us no more than 1 1/2 hours, not too bad back then.
I bet they are being done much cheaper now :P

I was just wondering whether it was worth contacting them and offering to sub from them save them a 6 hour round trip, seeing as it half a mile from my house

my mrs works at one of em, previous firm did it for £70 inc some insides. 4 lads (inc boss) on ladders blitzed it.
then did the other down the road twice the size for another £70, big old victorian mansion type place with new care home style extensions on.

i was gonna take the job off em a few times as i know both managers but £70 put me right off. would've have to be a slap dash job.

how can that pay?   ::)    i dont get it.   anyway uk commercial must be making it pay now

Simple...good luck to them i say.
Not one on here or any other forum who wouldn't want to be in their position at the moment,they work hard so they desrve it.
All the negative comments mean nothing to them,they are flying and deservedly so.

We lost 3 Bupa homes,if it is this company taking over the contract for the homes,they are charging peanuts, one home we do is £130,found out they are doing it for £35, the home managers know the type of standards they will receive when it is this cheap,but good luck to them,they will need it for them prices.

Some how i don`t think they will be doing it at a loss do you!

See they are advertising for cleaners in leeds and newcastle,

Why don`t someone in those areas go and work for them for a few months then they will see how they operate, first hand knowledge

Then they can do the same for there own business!
