The pics aren't great I know. In the first pic, on the far left hand side the glass comes all the way to the floor. The 4th side has about 6 windows but couldn't get a pic of it.

It is for insides and outs quarterly. There are also 19 glass partitions inside approx. 8ft x 3 ft to be done both sides every clean. 10 or so doors with long glass panels 6inches x 4 foot.

How much and how long to do. I can trad but not very fast. Cheers guys.

Quarterly I'd want £80 for this in and out, a nice steady 2 to 3 hours but that depends how slow you are at the insides.

I'd estimate it would take two of us a little over an hour.

Daz knows one end of a squeegie from another though, you might need to allow a day and a half!

I'll have you know........your right! I'm getting better though, just don't get much practise. Have just took on a guy who told me he had trad experience from when he left school. 2 days apparently when he was 17. :'(

2 hours work total. Outsides are piece of cake, 20 minutes. Insides on those places can be a bit awkward. 2 hours.

i agree with matt the outside will be easy i don't think it will take as long as u think i recon 2 hour max for the whole lot £70 pounds i would say get some practice in on trad and get quick then u will have it knocked out in no time £70 pounds is what i would be happy with in in my opinion but if u don't think that's good enough then charge more just charge with what u think is right and what your happy with ;)

You have got to consider that the outside windows could be really dirty every 3 months depending on what weather we have across the year and them vents hold some dirt and will cause dirty runs if not done properly.

I would take this into consideration you will need to do it like a first clean every time so on a quarterly basis it will take longer than 20 mins possibly 35 mins or so . Mike

looks like 40 for the outside and 50 for the ins.   its a pity your new guy lied about his experience, not a good sign

It amazes me when people ask for help on forums about pricing a job.

You will get variations from the "HOW MUCH" :o  to the "I wouldn't get out of bed for that" :P

How did windies manage before the internet, price the job to what "you" think is a fair price.

i would allocate this has a morning,not knowing what's in the way on the inside and the actual conditions of the windows

So if you earn £200  a day i would charge £100 then take a bit off if it is a regular job

i do a full day on work like this every month , insides are a doddle once they have been done once or twice as they dont really get dirty , we just spot clean hand marks in alot of it now and trad any glass that is in busy areas

its will be very simple to trad inside - you will get quicker on it
