Commercial Window Cleaning
« on: October 23, 2010, 12:50:53 pm »
Is there money to be made doing it? Couple of my carpet cleaning clients have asked me to quote for their windows
1. six blocks of flats 3 and 4 storey all windows outside and inside on 2 blocks using wfp
2. Inside office 38 internal windows(big double windows) and 15 office partitions

1.been quoted £100
2.been quoted £30

Is it really worth it?

Definitely not - horribly under priced. Let them have it!

We were asked to quote for a nursing home with 75 windows and guys house (which was a mansion including office blocks etc) which also had approx 75 windows.

The guy was moaning that his window cleaner skipped the odd window - he was paying him £70!

some one must of used the golden rule, quote on time, and what ur hourly rate it,  if someones hourly rate is only 8 then he can go in cheap,  prob a bit of splash and dash

Those prices are insanely low, but bear in mind that if they aren't happy with their current cleaner, you don't necessarily need to be cheaper; you just need to be better.
