It said it will take the team 10 days to complete. 4 guys doing the job.
If they were on £300 a day that would be £12k in their wages alone.
That's 40 man days of work.
How do companies price up work like this?

thats because they are paying nothing like 12k to get the windows cleaned

The building is the Swiss Re tower. The contractor is Advance. they are one of the top Abseil window cleaning contractors in London I dont know
how much they are charging but I doubt it is 12k
