Post by: Nathanael Jones on February 18, 2011, 12:57:39 pm: I'd charge 6x my daily rate,.. because big jobs always take longer than I expect.

£100 a day? You are kidding, aren't you?

Some people have low hopes on here...

Between £200-250 a day. Any less and you are selling youself too short JUST to get the contract on.

Not me that's for sure. And never ever intend too either. Been too long at this malarkey to start all that again. Life is just way too short by far to spend lots of it cleaning f ooki n glass Stu.

Post by: SteX13 on February 18, 2011, 10:30:50 pm: I have never even done a days work cleaning windows (newb, but business minded)

A FULL day where you don't move must be worth £300? Think on residential you could charge £10, do 3 an hour so £30 an hour 8 is £240 a day.

Title: Re: 8 HOURS work ?
Post by: TLC on February 19, 2011, 08:34:56 am: How do you know it will take five days to do? I always charge per window, and then alter price up or down depending on how difficult the job is, n how much I want it etc. It's alot easier to work out how long it takes to do a window than a huge job. This usually works well for me.

R there many wc's in OZ? Ive got an uncle there, should go n make my fortune ;D
