Hi all, Could you give me a guide as to how much you charge for cleaning a conservatory roof.
I read on this thread that someone charged £200.
Is this true.
I have done several but only ever charged up to £50.00.
This was to clean the roof,guttering and spikes on top.
Took me about 1.5 hours.
Am i under charging or do you do other things on the conservatory for those sort of prices.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Robbie - Clearshine- Harrogate

£25

£50 fair price for 1.5 hours work, take some claims with a pinch of salt and work for your own rates, rates that suit your area but def not cheap but fair
good luck simbo

Hi Robbie.
Dont worry what others say they get mate.
I work out how long it would take then times that by hr rate. Min £25-£30.

I do conservatory cleaning as a major add on to my window cleaning...my prices start from £100 !!
That includes...finials..roof....roof struts...end caps....guttering.....all pvc on outside....and glass.
average one takes 2 - 21/2 hours.
I guarantee that the conservatory will look as good as new.
Yes i have done a roof that was £200, that was a monster of a roof!!...ive also done an inside and out for £250.
Throughout the summer i did a leaflet drop for c cleaning, and was unindated, and the recommendations were unbelievable.
When i get my new van the back of it will be dedicated to cons cleaning with the sign writing.
hope ths helps Mick

Mick this is something i myself am going to promote alot more aswell, people will pay you even though they might not want a windowcleaner, have done a lot of upvc cleaning but mainly last year when i started out. was thinking of pushing pvc cleaning really hard next year as i think its could be very lucrative would then would try a £200 quote
all the best mate i was not doubting your prices just general comment

Mick, i've read in your other posts about having a conservatory ladder but are there any other equipment or materials you use to be able to clean every part of a conservatory?
cheers

all i use is....conservatory ladder....a 4 ft pole extends to 8ft which i connect to an outside tap....pump sprayer with a non caustic tfr mixture, sponge...pvcu cream cleaner....and pure water for the glass.
1st, spray the roof with the tfr, allow bout 5 mins while you set your ladder up etc then clean with tap water.
Once the roof and finials are cleaned, the end caps will clean with just a wipe of a sponge as the water and tfr has run down over them and loosened all the grime up.
With a sponge, use a cream cleaner and wipe all the pvcu, gutters, between the gutters and frames.
With the pole i use for the roof, i then wash off the cream and grime, then hose down after.
All this with loads of elbow grease will give you perfect results every time.
I havent got any pics at the mo, but hoping to have some real good ones soon, as i want to put before and after pics on the back of my van!
When ever i get a call for a roof clean, i go and quote and always get a full clean, there for i never quote under £100!!
Hope this helps ;)

Yeah, great help. cheers mick.

mick you talk about using a non caustic tfr mixture , what type is this , do you water this down , mick do you any upvc window and door cleans
-
Mick I think you are talking about the job I was quoting for, have a look at the pics and you'll see why I charge £200 for it!! I reckon its a fair price, will take nearly a whole day to do with a cherry picker. You can make good money from them but I would advise using them as an add on, we charge between £25 and £40 an hour.

Hi Mick.
Thanks for advice. just got my conservatory ladders yesterday & want to get into that line of work.
Your going to laugh but what cream cleaner do you use.

hi excellent tried your method today with mega quick results perfect finish and didnt use all my pure water Edd

can anyone tell me how to clean the conservatorys that have a pitch facing the house, obviously cant reach it with wfp and dont fancy walking on the roof.
Call me thick, but how does the conservatory roof ladder
reach a reverse pitch roof?
any advice grateful cheers

I charge £20 per hour...you never know how long each one will take so find hourly quotes to be the safest and fairest way of pricing up the job
