26 houses 1000

Empty only I would probably charge £40 per house or £30-£35 per house if I had the whole estate

They look very small properties, from the picture the porches make the gutter runs look no more than a few feet each and each property doesnt appear as if it would take a huge amount of time. Id say if you were asked for a one off price to do the lot, as it looks from the picture allow 2 bungalows an hour and that'd be easily achieved Id have thought £680.00 (£20.00 each which equates to £40.00 an hour)
Pull ur finger out you'd do it in a day.
Were you allowed to go on site to price it up or did you have to do it from an aerial photograph ;D
You do realise it isnt normal pricing this way ;)

I make it out to be 34 properties
i'd say £25 per bungalow for that amount.
usually it would be £35 each, but with the amount there all on the same site £850 sounds like a good price to me. If you are collecting all the money indivdually too. If you get paid in one lump some I'd take £20 a bungalow = £680. Easy money
I think it would take two easy days

Were all the gutters full? prob not, did he have to wash them down? no. therefore from what what we have been told, less than a days work. Tell the total length of the guttering full up with crap and washed down and i will give a price ;D

Pure h20 You're the winner, only out by 45p per bungalow. Maybe ywcs will clean your gutters out for winning!

I've recently bought a Gutter Blaster from Lakeland. It attaches to the outside tap and extends long enough to do bungalow gutters from the ground and would do first floor gutters from a ladder.
It gives a good jet to clean the insides. It cost £14.99 and they offer a no quibble guarantee if not satisfied.

Better invest in a good wet weather gear and a suitable dust pan and brush to pick up all the mess.

He charged £7.79 per bungalow :o
Whats the point?
its not like they are going to want them done again for another year.
£30.00 a bungalow is fair

Busy fool springs to mind :o

No point doing an annual or one off job for less hourly rate than regular window cleaning work. It should be the other way around. Much more money for being inconvenienced and disrupting your regular work routine.

£132.50 a day. I know a guy who works in a factory 36hrs per wk and earns (take home) £190.00 a wk.
So £265 for 2 days is not a busy fool just a busy man ;D
Also some people need to get real with there pricing, i'd like to see what there doing next year and if their for real ::)
-
h20 be serious £7 per bungalow?????
if they were a reg clean once a year then then £20 a bungalow would be decent and if it took 2 short days you have made a good crusr for your hard graft.

He gets paid holiday, sick, bank-holiday, has no outlay, no materials, no wet weather, no costs, no risks..........and doesnt need to be realistic about pricing work up B-)

The guy you quote is employed by a company do you honestly think his labour is only charged out as little as £132.50 a day by the company he works for?
Garages charge mechanics labour out at £90.00 an hour to cover their business overheads.
Drain cleaning companies charge out at minimum of £250.00 an hour and as many have bought our guttervac system, I can only assume they charge the same rate for cleaning up in the air as they do under the ground.
If you want to survive in bad times you have to be charging the right price in good times so you have business reserves to fall back on.

no outside taps, and old people dont always want you using their water if they are on a meter. as they are housing assoc. ones they can be difficult tenants "we pay for this in our rent, now we have to pay for the water....blah blah"
[/they get done for nothing and they still complain about using a little water my private jobs pay well give you a cuppa and smile at the end sod em they aint worth the candle

I quoted a big bungalow the other day £40 for guttering inside and out plus soffits. "I'm not paying that i'll get my gardiner to do it." I turned up to clean her windows and sure enough there he was, must have taken him ages with his step ladders, cloth and trowel.

Jolly good if they are to tight to pay and the gardiners daft enough then let them get on with it. This is why I prefer commercial clients. I turn up on site for £40 thats about it ;) If I get the camera out its £50 minimum.

You can clean gutters in wet weather, how much outlay on cleaning some gutters? what risk they were bungalows,
£662.50 over 5 days @ £132.50 per day. I think a lot of people on here would be happy with that :)
I think the forum should be spilt in two, Those who earn £20.000 to £49.000 and those who earn £250.000+ ;D
