Been asked to quote for this place on a 3 monthly frequency.

There are exactly three hundred windows on it. 150 at the front and 150 at the back.

£1 a window is fine on domestics but you will need to drop a long way from that when you have all the glass next to each other.  You could do that front face in an hour or a bit more maybe if you're plodding.  Maybe the trees will slow you down a bit.  Assuming there are no access or other hidden issues, three hours would be the very top whack to knock that out on maintenance cleans.  First clean would undoubtedly be longer though.  I'm referring to outsides only.  I know some will say this is too low but to be competitive, £150 would be OK if you're happy with turning over £50 an hour on maintenance cleans.

Indeed.  Three hours at very top whack for one guy IMO.  Not guessing either.  I've done similar work.

I would go at £270
They do get dirty there as next to the railway line with parking only at the back.....yes I know the property ;D
Some of the buildings there have aluminium frames so could be possible problems with wfp
If you need a hand Matt ;)

Work out how long it will take... Then £40 - £60 an hour, depending on how badly you want the job.

Prices all depend on location. Prices flutuate around the country higher in the south and lower up north.

Up north I'd charge  roughly £150
Title: Re: How much fellas?
Post by: alanwilson on January 23, 2012, 08:26:43 pm
it looks like this is all easy reach with an 18ft pole - 300 panes, probably around 3.5hrs for one man buy could be less if the windows stay clean (got a similar job, slightly bigger and there are trees around it - they get dirty very quickly, it takes 4.5hrs for one man)

so I'd say £175 to £200 - like others have said, its an easy looking job.

I got a job like this in Chelmsford the other day, they were paying 250£, and thought it was to much. I went in at 175 and got it, took 2 of us just under 2 hours, that's good money by anyone's standards

Matt, was this on the back of an e-mail from 'best of Basingstoke' or something like that?
I got one tonight for the same building only for carpet cleaning ;)
I suspect it might just be a way of getting businesses to reply with a view to subscribbing to their website.

Matt

I'm with Mr Woods on this one

Ask if they want the frames included
Also my guess is they will want the internal common parts included, reception and the glass balustrades

 ;)
