I'm going to start taking on more commercial work now at the moment i only have one shop but want more to do before i start on my residential work but need to make sure my pricing is right what would you charge for a window 2.5 to 3 meter wide by 1.5 meters high just a rough price easy access ect

Why dont you go for churches, office blocks, hotels even pubs etc. much more money there for early starts than shop windows.

for what you can see £15 in n out. Don't be surprised if someone is doing it cheaper though.
Thats the thing with shops, the more you have in one place, the cheaper you can do them.

if its just that window then 2.50 outside, 5 in and out.  although thats coming from if thats in a row of shops that you do.  if you have to drive specifically for that itd be double the price, therefore not worth it for you or the customer

There are a lot more windows than that one on the building, the biggest problem with cleaning that building is getting paid, its an independent store, and times are tough on Teesside. Steve the owner has done very well & got a beutiful flagship store, the best on Teesside.
