Title: Builders cleans/sparkle cleans
Post by: sunshine windows on February 17, 2016, 08:02:31 pm
Had a call yesterday from a cleaning firm, wanting me to help them out on some new build  Redrow? Houses.

When I asked how much they had in mind for each property she told me £35. This included washing of windows, fascia and gutter but wait for it ...........................insides too!

She couldn't even assure me that the builders clean was going to be done to a high standard, so there may have been cement and other builders debris all over the units.

I think somebody is living in cloud cuckoo land

Just goes to show what some expect to get done for so little money.

I told her I'd do it for a day rate of £400 and she'd have I disagreeurance I'd get as many done as possible in the day.

Still waiting on a call  ;D

I would actually work my juts off, when on a day rate. Conservatively I told her between 5-7 a day. I'd expect to do more if they're not minging.

i done some up here in middlesbrough.      i got £10 per house , external window cleaning only.,     i gave it up,  but i got a lot of new customers .      had to be done as and when they said.       im too used to doing my own thing now.
great if you need more work or if you employ.
