they should ask you for an advanced pova check to be done, it will take a load more time inside if it has secure units like the one we do.

I would charge 1.5 times more inside than that of out.

Ask them what there budjet is they may tell you they may not. Worth Asking imo

We do several - if you want the work best to price up by how long it will take not ££ x No. of windows then double it for inside...

example outside  cost  £350   then quote insides  £700  job  total £1,050

but i'd also give options on quote for frequency  and say  do outsides 4x per year insides 2 x

when push comes to shove most care homes never get around to having the insides done ( IME )

Agree with that, they get the cleaners to do a bad job for the most part

lol what Im saying is I doubt n e one wud get the job if you double up on price for inside !!!!!! imagine seeing the house manager & saying Ill do all the outsides for £350 and when you want the insides done that will be £700 just for the insides come on smudger it wouldnt work in my book but ay maybe im wrong but doubt you would get the contract for them if you was to do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but who knows !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
other way to do it, is quote the whole inside first as trad and double it.

because outside wfp it will be half the time, so same thing really

yes got it lee, sent a reply, I never asked the frequency of the job, the example I gave was on quarterly cleans and the second was a monthly, but trust me either way you will not get over 1k for it round here ;D
