I certainly hope so, thats in Dublin which should be a little more expensive than the rest of the country, as an example My sister lives in Cork she has a 2 bed detached with a glass walled sun room  about 15 windows in total she pays 60 euro for inside and outside takes about 45min, one time when her regular guy couldnt make it she shopped around for a once off and was quoted as much as 180 euro by some lad trying to pay off his wfp in the first month >:(From what Ive heard about 25 to 40 euro is standard for just exterior and double that to a liottle extra for in and out
 I should add that there is also some 10 euro merchants floating around like everywhere else but they dont get much new work as everybody is scared of breakins and such and also Ireland is now one of the most expensive places in the world to live so you need to charge well to stay around

yes these are the prices over here as there is no window cleaners to do the work,they think they are above this work yet we earn more than some of the people in offices etc who look down on us.is this the problem elsewhere?? what is one way to get people to work at window cleaning? we pay 580 take home and we still have to beg people to do this business

Hey woodsy where in Ireland are you located as im heading to the Cork area sometime next year and would be interested in subbing some work

You have to remember that the cost of living in Dublin makes London look cheap - I have a friend who just got outbid on a 3bed semi-detached about 2 weeks ago, I think it was on the road to tallaght - 890,000Euro was his last bid.
