Hey, I live in Kent and looking at quoting for cleaning a block of flats every 2 months. They have 45 windows. I was thinking £70 What do you guys recon?

Someone recently laughed at how they used to price by the window but I don't see why this is laughable. I always remember being told on a range to use what you know to work out distances ie football pitches, tennis courts etc so for window cleaning I use the same principle. As you know how long it takes to clean x amount of windows on a single flat then you can work out your hourly rate. Charge more for the second floor and above as this is work that trad guys aren't keen on and the poles are expensive so have to be justified. Then tally that up for the whole block and don't undercut yourself.

There are many factors to consider , how high is it ,access, frequency, type of window wood,upvc,where are the vents, how big are the pains of glass /how many are there , how long will it take you , etc it’s a personal thing what you think is a fair price others would say to cheap or to expensive work out what you want to earn per hour guess how long it will take and to some extent faster into your price what kit you will need if using a 60 foot pole it should be dearer than using a 25 foot pole as replacement costs will be higher and it’s harder work , less people will have the kit to do it so charge accordingly

If you can clean them in an hour. Happy days.
If it takes you 2 then not so good
-
What ever price you are thinking of charging, triple it.
If you don't get the job then nothing is lost but if you do.......
It takes a bit of courage to that but at least you won't end up with work you end up regret doing.

Wanting £200 per hour you'll end up with no work!
