Hi Guys, I am quoting this job, but really not sure how much to charge as I have only cleaned domestic conservatory roofs so far.
I cleaned the 3 panels as a demo for them and it took me about 30 mins,
Thanks,
Tony

How long did it take to clean 3 panels?
I would charge between 50p and £1 per panel
-
Great, If I give you £1.50 per panel can you do it for me! :D
-
£5 per panel, I have just counted 47 panels, so round it up to £250 it looks like a good days work, if it takes 10mins per panel.

I'd want £300 on the basis that the first 3 panels took 30 mins, to be honest though it wouldn't bother me If I didn't get it.

You must be having laugh. ;D

If it takes about 10 minutes a panel, why can't you work out a quote? Why did you spend 30 mins. Why didn't you just do the worst one then work it out from there? Have I missed something here guys? ???

price it high as based on your 3 panels 30minutes i just counted from your photos and 2 days solid based on 10 minutes a panel wfp or trad £400 as a minimum not including travel to and from .where are you based and where is the job .
they will want risk assessment and method statement at minimum .
hope this helps
imho

if they can get 16 more demos, you wont be needed ;) ;)

I miss counted, 64 panels, that would be £320, I would round it to £350.
It will take you about 11-12 hours, thats if each panel takes 10mins.

£300 for 47 panels x 10mins a panel = 8 hours work/£300 = £38 per hour! wheres the job! I'd do it if you don't want to :D

recalculated 68 panels counted top side only if doing top and bottom £750+
topside only £450 +

Where did you get the extra panels, he only asked for the roof panels.
the 2 pitched roof areas, 64 panels.

As I haven't undertaken any commercial work, as still new, I wasn't sure about pricing
(didn't want to under sell myself) and the reason I cleaned 3 panels, I think the cleanliness stands out more.
I approached them about having it cleaned and thought if they see how good it loks then they will go for it! :)

Lol I guestimated slightly more than 47 panels but based my quote on £30 an hour that's what I'd want anyway. :)

5 quid a panel, away you go mate.

either way thats a better hourly than you'd get managing your local RBS bank!

I am wfp, is only about 15 mins from me, luckily I used to be H&S manager (ZZZZzzzzz), so have already completed r/a's and m/s. Thanks for the heads up though :)

I'm only about 15 mins from this job, and I'm sure they want a quality job, which is why I wanted to charge the right price, they also have a number of other properties with a similar problem, so didin't want to price myself out either!
Looked at you website, looks good and like the quote on your pricing policy! ;)
Thanks again for your help!

how to keep window cleaners amused for hours and hours ? show them some pics of windows and ask them to count them ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

about £3 apanel is a good price as it stands
-
all depends on the size of panel
whether £3 a panel is good or not
