I have been asked to clean these windows in & out  approx 3 monthly. Two sash windows on the left extension back & front. Basement windows do not need to be cleaned.

I have a price in mind bUt would like to see what you would charge just for the heck of it.

The property is at Prosperous Wimbledon South London.  I clean traditionally.

£55 or so in and out.

That place'd take about 20 minutes on the outside, or have I missed a 3,000 square foot conservatory?  You boys!

I see 16 windows, are you lot charging £2.00 a window now?? ?? ?? ??

Hi,

I use a 2 or 3 step step ladder for insides. Am curious as to why you say its tough traditionally. Ground & first off double pointer, dormer windows from inside both sides.  Easy peasy lemon squeesy.  Perhaps you mean tougher then WFP?

i think i'd try for £75 but i'd drop to £60 ( about 2 hours at most i hope = £30 an hour) dont think i'd fancy doing it as a one off for £50 though, depends how much i needed the work i suppose

no way matt!an hour to clean the outside wfp and an hour and a half insides.that includes set up time and driving away.dont forget FREQUENCY every 3 months and theres a lot of trees about so extra scrubbing and rinsing and also you dont want to rush jobs like these IMO.

say an average small semi takes 15 mins wfp.THIS HOUSE IS WAY BIGGER!! ;D ;D ;D ;D


insides would take half hour longer IMO than the outside.

£50 in and out for each clean. ( maybe add t and biscuit)

looks like a nice place to work, I'd want to be sure that I got it on board.


I wrote this before seeing wimbledon, £70 in and out quarterly.  (With super frothy double moccachino and penguin)

If i lived there i would let you do the 2nd floor wfp but otherwise i would want the trad approach, i dont think these sash windows suit wfp.

If i went to quote i would also want to do it trad and wfp 2nd storey,definitely definitely trad and having the insides to do means the outsides have got to be right.

I`ll just work out a price.

Modified my post to put in a price £68

And once i had done it once or twice I`d think this job was worth doing at £55

i use an unger square brush, but i was thinking if you only had a rounded edge brush you would not get in the corner on these sash type windows!?

does anyone agree?

You need to work on your technique mate. Why does it take you 4 minutes to do one window WFP?

Title: Re: Your Price Please
Post by: Poles R Us on December 01, 2010, 09:23:56 pm
i reckon about £40 too.
Title: Re: Your Price Please
Post by: dazmond on December 01, 2010, 11:17:01 pm
ok maybe i was a bit high with the price and time but i reckon there is no way you could clean them in and out in an hour comfortably!2 hours max inclu set up and driving away.so £70.dont forget you have to drive to your next job!you dont want to be working for less than £30 an hour on posh houses like these IMO.

dont forget they re on a 12 weekly so they will be dirty esp with the trees and ivy around the property.
