Big window and a door tener.

And if you can get that you'll be doing well, round here that'll be more like £2.50 - £3.00
You will need a lot of shops to make good money, I have 80% of the shops in my local town and they aint good money far from it

What sort of shops as they are all different from local news agent for inside and out about £6.00 and for something like Primark or Mark & Spencers would be alot more as these sort of shops have schedules for example outside Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Inside on a Friday etc.  ;D

I had a mix of small and large shop fronts cleaned on a weekly basis.

The small shops (small window and door) was £2.50-£3.50 inside and out
The larger shops inside and out was between £4-£6

I had £75 a months worth of work but because of very early starts and requirements from certain shops regards to different opening times and low profits it did affect my regular domestic round so i sold it for £720

I would only do shops if it was convenient for you

Spot on chap, you may get a tenner for the odd one, but you will struggle to get more than £3-£4 in reality for the majority of the others.
People have a misconception about commercial windows.  ::)
