have a contract in the pipeline to do student communal cleans. each property (approx 100 )will be cleaned on a monthly basis. now our client does not want to pay what we quoted and looking back i think the quote given was high.
however he does not want to pay more than £7 an hour for a cleaner. obviously that is very low and we cant do it for that.
just to pick your brains - what do agencies tend to charge? i will ring our local agencies but really there arent any that deal with cleaners.
grateful for any comments . thanks  :

Weren't you asking about starting up an agency???

I would imagine an agency will pay their cleaners £6-7 per hour +13% ENIC + Holiday pay.  You will not get much change from£8.00 per hour then you add the agency fee of at least £1.00 - £1.50 = Approximatley £9.50 - £101 per hour

[Phoenix]

sorry £9.50 to £10.00 per hour.  If only!!!!!!

[handyali]

yeah £101 sounds better !! would be nice eh ? yes i am starting an agency just deciding how to pitch it all to client.

Correct we supply staff at £8.50 per hour + mileage days
£9.50 Nights + mileage weekend £10.50 minimum 8 hours
no extra cost for working more than 8 hours.

Of the £8.50/£9.50/£10.50, how much goes to the individual cleaner ?
