Hi ive got to quote a single storey school building 12 windows 6 pains per window and 3 doors 6 pains per door and clean frames and sills down what should i charge? thanks in advance
-
Anyone?
-
£15 ??
-
Im traditional and i was thinking the money will come from there maintence fund so could i push it up alittle,i do gardening to and they want a quote for the grass, so it could be a handy bit of money and it's very local to.
-
Depends how long it will take you and how often they want tem doing!
example one off for an hours labour £30 min.
-

why do you wanna rip a school off for ? are you that desperate for more stella ?
you see a REAL window cleaner would price the job for what its worth not what he/she could milk it for
-
I think some of you have got me a bit wrong im not trying to rip off the school but im dont want to do myself TBH ive never been that good at pricing and i never aim for £30 ph so i dont think im ripping anyone off, Ive decided £20 i think that a fair price i reckon they will take me an hour.Im not a greedy man just want to be fair to the customer and myself.

The reason i asked this question is im not that good at pricing, i have always got the feeling that people expect windows to be cheaper than i charge, i try to aim for a £1 per window sometimes alittle more if a window has lots of panes.

Would you call my pricing milking it? but i think the suggestion of £15 was a bit low.

I'm afraid thats called milking, knowing what the price is but deliberately putting the price up because you think they will still pay it
-
Well the first price i had in mind was £20 so thats what im going to quote,like i said i reckon it will take me an hour so i think that fair enough.As for milking that could be the start of a good debate i bet many members on here would charge more for example for a 3 bed house in the posh part of town than they would on a council estate i may start a poll later.

Its not a question of being greedy, its about running a profitable business! Do you only think of your hourly wage or do you think of cost of running a business?
-
For the amount of windows and doors I assume for just external clean would be £25.00.
And this is a fare price.
-
is this for real its 6 windows not 600. surely u have a price guide etc why ask other people when everyone has there own price guide...
-
its got to be a wind up.
-
It's all done the written quote £20 ill now wait to hear from them.
-
let us know how you get on , cant wait . if you get the job the drinks are on you . mines moet. ;)
-
£50
-
i agree id go in a lot more than 20quid
-
Are you sure it is a school, with so few windows is it not a prison?
As for the grass who's going to see it ;D

12 windows, 6 panes per window ::)
-
72 panes of glass
id go for £35 i reckon, is it monthly?
-
Schools generally go for a once a year clean IME, now there are cuts to consider too.
Id go with something along the linbes of Malc Gold said. But would never give a price without seeing it, so dont hold me to it if you're thinking of giving me a call 8)
-
gold £50 :o are you trying to be funny cos your not you added a 0 on the end ;)
-
Just to let you know i didn't get the window cleaning job they had already got someone else which i was told they might have done,but i did get the grass cutting job so im happy you can win them all.
-
most schools despite cuts have a decent budget i have a school which i clean monthly have done for 3 years now only put price up once £50.00 for just over an hours work cant complain
-
I have one to quote which will take 2 days,
i cant believe they will accept my quote though
