I'd work that out at £1650 myself,... might give a bit of a discount for prompt payment.

Alex seems to be with me on price , but that excludes travel ?   i`ve been in the game since 1996  , are any of you new to it , and have your priced on what it may take to secure the job ?
 5 days travel at 40 miles each way inculded .
Also location , may also be a factor on the price , if any one would choose to share their location... I`m  Midlands

Add up your fuel costs and the travelling time to actual time it took cleaning, and times the total by what you consider to be a decent hourly rate and thats what you need to charge. It would make no difference to me about charging more for insides, why would it?, if you did 63.5 hours then thats what you charge for, inside, outside its all the same to me, 63.5 hours is 63.5 hours.

You might want to consider offering them a discount if you can get them to give you the contract on a regular basis, and you will more than likely get it done next time in half the time.

Cheers Alan , That is not far away from what i wanted originally ,, whilst i was doing the job, and the reason for my question . but times are hard , and it will hopefully become a regular monthly contract , with me being considerate , and more than kind with the price.
 Wish me luck ;)

Regards
