I managed £100 an hour for the first 2 hours this morning on normal maintenance window cleaning but it's not a regular occurrence.its usually half that but surely some of you guys are doing that every hour worked these days?esp commercial cleaners and London/southeast window cleaners?

Be nice to work 20 hours per week at £100 an hour for 9 months of the year with 3 months off....

don't even get out of bed for a paltry 100 notes P/h .....

I'm just interested in if it's achievable for some window cleaners?
When I first joined the forum back in 2009 I thought windows cleaners were lying about earning £30 an hour! ;D
I was lucky if I made £15-£20 an hour back then!
I now know they were telling the truth and it was my pricing and work schedule that was sub optimal....

£100 an hour is only possible if you have hot water, electric hose reel, light poles and take 5star holidays every now and then to rest your body ;D ;D

I think you would be surprised how cheap some are doing commercial work for here down south.
It’s not all bad but it’s hard to get the good work.
Looked at some apartments for the over 55’s in January they were being cleaned for under £3 a unit by a London company.
-
I think I could do it with heated seats and a head the size of a small planet.

Strewth!
You guys have just got me up to £30 hour now you want £100..
It's all to stressful ;D

Wow , that’s a bit poop , I do a complex of 50 of these and get £7 per apartment

id say £90 ph is the usual. Where i am Colchester the going rates £15 per small house any windie worth his salt can do 6 p.h. then theres tips
-
there is no set Ph pay.
All areas are different
You have to be lucky to canvass in these lucrative areas and supply a good service. Ive sold work to a lad and he is just working to get a wage coming in . He will start around 11am till around 3. He will do one to my 2-3 houses . He is at that age where he just needs enough work. He said its Hard to get customers now if out canvassing unless you hit the Jackpot where there old window cleaner has not been for a few months.
Some people want more than others . good luck if you are willing to put the graft in .
-
Yes we are all different- one man’s fast is another man’s snail pace and that’s before you factor in prices charged - if your consistently doing £90 p/h day in day out - well done it’s not for me to throw doubt on your earnings
It I do like salt with my chips 😋

I think most people can line up a good section of domestic work and get a very good rate for a bit here and a bit there.
To do 6 X £15.00 houses an hour every hour is less doable especially when I add in pleasantries, payment slips, moving the van, stopping for a coffee etc. etc.
Having said that I believe £60 an hour over say six hours (excluding a break or two) is readily achievable.
But look at your turnover for the year for your true earnings. And that's before costs.
-
If you do £90 an hour over a year for every hour you work that's £180,000 income.
Hands up anyone?...

.... nope, didnt think so.

The post didn’t say earning that evert hour of every day it said first two hours of the day at £100 per hour , we have some work that’s a lot more than that per hour but again it’s not 40 hours per week at that rate wish it was 😂😂😂

Daz asked if there are people who do that rate throughout their daily work life.

I know of several that manage £65-75 every hour they work so it wouldn’t be beyond reason to do £100 every hour with the right work

Do you know many train drivers?

anyone whose charging less than 15 quid for a small house [2 ,3bedder/ council] in the South East Anglia needs to up his rate . then theres tips ,colchester a great place for those surely 20 a day especially in the old folks complexes wer doin those a tenner a pop theyv 6 windows i personally let the lad who works for me keep the tips this encourages him to chat also any insides his as well. i doubt im earning 180k tho moneys never driven me
going back when i worked solo i was always good to do 6 houses per hour for 3 hours and then tail off . im talking about council house on the same street. iv never worked more than 5 hr days
-
Why are you doing them a tenner a pop but in your previous sentence you say anyone doing them for less than £15 needs to up their rate.

the old folks apartments ,in a complex ,are small ,bug hutches really i didnt make that clear . sorry bout that
before we came along another bod was doing a few 6 quid each i did some for 8 he lost the ones he did ,to me, and then i upped to a tenner which is still a good deal considering my lad will do inside [for extra] if they ask. the original guy wasnt trusted i forget the story i got told i think he talked dirty to the little old ladies just a weirdo , he hadnt a squeegee was a mop and rag guy
-
actually im now thinking 15 is on the low side,nothing to brag about , im offering extras such as a kitchen window done inside as and when at 2 quid . in the last 2 yrs added gutter repairs this took a bit of thinking thru ,the extra insurance for starters altho a good earner once geared up for it. point im making is youre getting a 1 stop shop when you get us
-
a one stop what ?

Nobody needs to do anything.....
Each window cleaner can charge as little or as much as he wants (within reason)as long as he's happy.
There are no rules!

A jack of all trades

I can hit 90 quid an hour
About once a month for 1 hour :D
Problem is this job is boring as feck I challenge anyone to do more than 20 hours on the glass a week and not top themselves.
