£5000 per week below this and you would be better off working in Mc Donalds.

One thousand pounds a day between two men, Mick Kent can do £600 in 4 hours on his own and he has realised
that most of his work is under priced.
Be positive think positive and it will happen. I remember a guy telling me that I couldn't get £100 for a two bed
town house.
After beating the old biddy half to death she gladly paid it.
-
50 front only town houses at £10 a throw and all in the same street each day?
Work it out for yourself.
Some people are just so lazy.
-
All depends on the area n prices. Some of the stuff i read on here about earnings is pie in the sky.
-
A 2 man set up realistically should be doing £300 a day.
That's what id want if I was employing two guys, that means after wages and costs your still left with a nice amount.
I am up "norf" though, so prices seem to be a lot less than in other areas.

Mate honestly, you are obsessed with me!
Apart from the thread where i took the p saying £600/650 a day where have i ever said that??
I clean 30 fronts over a 5/6 hour day which i find quite easy which would equivelent to 15 full houses which most established guys do as a minimum for a day. If your to thick to work out how easy that is instead of making me out to be an idiot or a lier then i pitty you as you cant be the full ticket! id hate to see how in bad condition your business is in for you to keep attacking me?.!

That's very low...

Is it WFP or trad? what part of the country? how long has the business been going? how compact is the work? how many hours a day do they want to work? etc etc etc...
-
If you cant answer that question you probably dont have the work or are at that point,
Its different for everyone , but surely the answer is enough to pay expenses , wages, tax vat? and make a profit , how much profit depends on you at the circumstances of the area and business.
Its a headache having staff and running it all so it wants to be worthwhile for the hours you put in
I reckon the £300 quoted is the bare minimum for two guys and a vehicle .
Probably gonna want to get another £50 - £100 a day to start seeing a reasonable profit
But it all depends if you are paying two lads "self employed " £50 a day
Or employing properly paying , and paying VAT etc

Id be working on 65% of what a single operator can earn so £200 for 1 man becomes £330 for 2 guys .... £250 becomes £412.
when or if im ever in a position to do this I still think I would go 1 man 1 van so 2 x £200 is £400 which is £70 more than 2 men 1 van or on 20 day month £1400 more .... which will more than cover extra van running costs
working on low figures compared to some on here but you get the idea :)
-
Personally speaking for it to be worthwhile I'd want two guys working for me doing min £550 per day.

In my experience thats not far off the mark.
Although the extra expenses involved (vehicle, equipment, water etc) are not the only things that needs to be considered as to whether its worthwhile or not. There can be a lot of headache employing, its not just financial cost that you incur.

Mick you did say it, 60 £10 fronts or 24 £10 fronts in under an hour, OK you did state that these where your best days earnings and
you didn't achieve this daily.
But fair enough it does look as if I'm attacking you personally so I wont bring it up again.

You have posted you do 6 £10 fronts in 20 mins .....
The rest is left to Sean's imagination...

But that could only be 18 windows and 6 doors. On modern semis/terraced that wouldn't be difficult.

24 fronts in under an hour and 60 fronts in a day, its there to read Darren.

Why do people get hung up on figures, amounts, how many an hour or other peoples earnings?
WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
We work at different speeds, different houses/areas/towns, we all clean differently and to different standards so you will never be able to get a straight answer to any earnings or how many an hour type of question.
WHAT MATTERS IS, is that you are earning enough for your own personal circumstances.
Not having a go here.
Just my opinion.

I'm not :(

lol you are one of a kind!!

Yes of course i can if on a run with 6 from same spot, or sometimes maybe if 3 on 1 road and 3 on another if no customers come out to pay or have a chat!.i aim for £60 ph glass time which i do always hit! Stop trying to be a clever dick making me out a lier!! we all know driving time/chatting/food breaks slow things down. If you actualy try what i do instead of picking holes with seank making pointless jealous remarks then maybe you will see that its quite simple to do and verey profitable.

Mick - as you may have noticed I don't plaster what I expect or get per hour from one man, two men, we have our rate and that's our biz, I have for the most part no interest in what you get p/h at all, I'm just curious about what what appears to be in consistant figures, if you aim and get £60 an hour then that's a great hourly rate.
I'm always looking to improve the biz, and when I see something that looks to be an improvement I like to find out more info, likewise I, where poss try to pass on factual and accurate info to others,
but your last post has made things much clearer
Thx
