I dont think people price by the meter on any type of window work.

I think you will earn less on commercial in the crunch as more cleaners in the big towns are undercutting like anything.

Guesstimate :-  would say 1 metre sq of glass is  £1.20
 The price would be greater on small amounts of windows  and less on large runs

Glyn,

its a regional contract and they want a price per meter i know our running costs etc but unsure of the per meter costs as normally work on time.

the panels are 1mtr x 2mtr each outlet has 10-15 panes

your thoughts would be great

just work out how long it would take you to clean per metre then how much
you would want for it and times it by the length ( i think  ;D)

i think £1.50 per meter

i could clean that size window with wfp, if it was regular, in about 1 minute, so thats £1 per minute per minute worked. and then .50 per meter running costs, so you should earn at least 40p/h at the end of the day

It all depends on how many square meters the job has total. There is no such thing as a price per square meter period as cleaning one square meter of glass will work out more expensive than cleaning 4000 square mtrs per square meter.

It is common to price per square meter for larger jobs.

I would love to earn £1.50 a square meter I would have retired by now LOL  ;)

So you need to know how many square meters in total, then work out how many man hours is required to complete the job, what time frame the job must be completed in, then add your running costs.

Its a simple equation if you know these figures.
