When you price a job like this with a fair few windows it can look daunting , but you can crash it out in no time, i think it would take 4 to 5 hours max (doing a real good job), so even if you charged as litlle as £150 you still would be on a good earner for the day if you go and do another couple of little jobs. Also you will definately get the job

backed up with a risk assessment, method statement & insurance details if your successfull

this is my first quote so i want to go in at right price, the quote is for inside and outside. could you please giv your honest opinions iv not been inside yet so dont know wat i have to work around.im using wfp outside and trad inside.

Assuming that you have shown all the windows:  Depends what you want as an hourly rate really, what obstructions are on the inside, and how accessible the inside reception area windows are.  On maintenance cleans, the outside could be done comfortably in one and a half hours (though probably a fair bit less).  Allowing for some obstructions and awkwardness inside, I think half a day (maybe a longish half day) for a lone operator would be a fair time allowance.  I do one of similar style where there are about two and a half times the external windows.  Once I got the first two cleans out of the way, I whip around the outsides in about two and a quarter hours.  I've never really timed the insides because I have to do it over several visits when evening cleaning staff are there.  It's no problem because it's very local to me and inside is only four times a year.  No high reception area on mine though.

work out a price per window , then you will not lose out . better getting a slightly lower price every month than losing it to someone else. would still be more than the domestic for that day and less hassle.

Funnily enough, I've just been doing the job mentioned in the above post.  I really didn't fancy hanging around in that cold rain and got it done in about one and three quarter hours (outside).  There are about two and a half times the windows as on the picture at the top of the thread.  OK I admit it.  The frames didn't get a look in this time but, as a monthly external clean, there's no need to do them every time anyway.
