I do not know the rates for Ireland but that seems too cheap.

I thought is too cheap as well but I'm at the beginning of the "journey" and I dont have to many costumers thats why I want to take every job that I can.Anyway, can you give an example or advice about how I should calculate a price for an office cleaning ? Even House cleaning, it is my biggest problem.
Thank You !

Your pricing for your wages which if you do that makes it impossible to make the step to employing, think like a big company from the start as you may also not get the work if you are too cheap. If you go in cheap you'll only get price shoppers

Email me and I will give you some examples. However your overheads will be different so you will need to adjust accordingly

I dont even make a living out of this at the moment, I am thinking like a big company but in the same time i have to make myself some conections in this area, i think, so because are a lot off people that are giving very cheao prices.For ex I rang once one guy with windows cleaning.He was cleaning a three bedroom house with 20 euro all the windows inlcuding the frames.I wouldnt put the ladder on the car with those money but when you dont have a choice....

why do you think 4 hours cleaning? from the info you've given doesn't sound like much to clean

Because I allready cleaned once for trial  and took allmost 4 hours,maybe nexct time will be 3 because I know what I have to do now but still it is something to work.
