You will beable to charge around £10/11 per hour, with customer supplying all the equipment & chemicals to clean with. You will need insurance incase anything gets broken, up to you if you want payment on the day or if you Invoice. I suggest you get some kind of terms and conditions signed by the customer regards to them cancelling the clean at the last minute and not expecting to pay as this does happen.
Good Luck!

Why not treat it as one business? You can hand out leaflets to your window cleaning customers, when we did regular domestic cleaning we got work from window cleaning customers so that works quite well. I wouldnt recommend leaflets through every house in your area, very small % will turn into work, but it's obviously up to you.
Try advertising in your local free magazine thats where we got a lot of our enquiries from.
