Personaly I can't & don't price per window.

Just look at the job and guess how long It will take you.

I would charge between £30 and £40 per hour.

Remember you could get It wrong so just add 10% onto the price you give!

Jeff brimble Is the man to ask. He worked one of my jobs out to a tee.

My price comes out at £375.75

So just call it £375 for cash  ;D

103 at ground x 0.75 =  £77.25
96 at 1st x 1.00         = £96.00
96 at 2nd x 1.25        = £120.00
55 at 3rd x 1.50         = £82.50

           GRAND TOTAL = £375.75

So you've got prices ranging from £250-£500 so your gonna have to use your judgement.

Although I wouldn't go for a round number, make it an odd one so at least it looks like you havent just picked a figure out of thin air  ;)

Hope you get it

I would go in at about 350-400 quid, if it is only done once every 6 months then it will have to be a longer than average time to do the windows to a good standard.

you are still going to do it inside a single day comfortably.
Were it done monthly or every 2 months I'd charge £350 for a the first clean, but subsequent cleans will be done by lunchtime, so I would happily drop price for the regular clean to about £275.
But as it is only 6 monthly, stick in a high price for your days work, if you don't get it...big deal, its only 2 day work a year you've lost.

Hi Leeksons,

Slightly off topic but.........

Just had a quick look at your website and noticed that you also do fascia & soffit & conservatory roof cleans which im looking to expand into, so a couple of questions if you dont mind

What power pressure washer do you use? In your before & after shots did you need to use any uPVC restorer if so what do you use? And what can you charge i.e per side or per foot (soffit & fascias) small, medium, large, X large (conservatory roof)

Regards

Alistair

its hard to say really, each property is different.
Work it out at about £50 per hour. Its more than window cleaning, but bear in mind you will be using deisel to power the machine, and it isnt cheap, when things go wrong... and they do!
i use a 250bar, 3500spi machine, but i dont know the make sorry
