Hi guys
I need to quote to clean 2 blocks of 12 flats, ground,1st & 2nd floor windows.
One block straightforward,
Other block has one set railings on French doors, one set French doors per flat.
They asked for 8 & 12 weekly prices, 30 days payment.
I was thinking a per window price.
Any help be appreciated.

-
goin off £7 per flat it works out bout £170, £6 a flat its roughly £145 id work in that region

richy how many appartments do you get at them prices out of interest?

Pricing flats on an individual "per flat" basis probably won't gain you any work.
Pricing for jobs like these is quite competitive.
I have a job that is three straightforward blocks of 12 flats with a bit of inside window cleaning. I graft and get the three blocks done in 4 hours. It can all be done from one parking place. I got the job because I estimated how long it would take me (got that dead right for a change) and asked myself what would be my minimum hourly rate for a job that is hassle free and within two miles of home. Also, they pay very promptly, usually within a week. One cheque from one management company.
I won't say what I price it at but you will have to trust me when I say that it is a tight one. I don't mind because they don't give me any grief.

If I had priced the job that I do at £6 a flat, I doubt I would have got the job. However, even at a lot less, I still earn OK out of it. I suppose a lot depends how much someone wants the job really. It is a quarterly job and renewed yearly. I do think I will need to up the price a bit when renewing next time (hopefully it won't cost me the job).

I agree with this method for pricing this type of work. I wouldn't get any at £6 a flat

I do 36 old peoples flats at £6 a flat. The bigger the job the more you start to lean towards an hourly rate. I have to collect the money from each flat. That takes as long as the cleaning.
