I just did a detached for 100 - took nearly 7 hours using ladders - will charge higher next time - did anyone else get an image of Bruce on Play Your Cards Right, just there ;)

I really hate these jobs therefore I charge a £30 hourly rate. I know many here will say that's too cheap; and others too expensive.
But it's a dirty job, when doing it using ladders and hard work too.
The last two I did took three hours each; charged them both £90 each (including windows) and went home minging dirty and knackered.
Saying that, I'm considering purchasing a 'Hi Flow Kit' advertised as ideal for conservatory roofs and shop signs. It has a soap dispenser (a small compartment where you can add cleaning tablets).
Has anyone used this for cleaning soffits?

I plug my waterfed pole into the customers outside tap and away I go, you sometimes have to dip the brush head in soapy water for stubborn stains and may occasionaly have to go up a ladder for real bad bits, my top tip is use a different brush to the one you use for windows.
As for price I would charge at least 100 pound, more if you think you can get away with it.
