Commercial pricing
« on: August 23, 2010, 08:48:14 pm »
Just wondering how you all price commercial work.

Do you still price as you would for domestic or not.

Say for instance a small shop front, two large windows ether side of the front door?

How do you go about pricing commercial stuff?

a pound a window is the guide i use but of the window has deep georgian timber frames or the window is extra large dont you quote for the approx extra time it takes to clean?

shop fronts round my way are -  door and window either side seem to be around 5-7 pound

I'd love a row of them once a week, more like £2.50 round here.  :-[

if they are big windows or french doors i might charge 1.50  but a lot depends on the rest of the windows

Make sure you get the gaffers house to clean as well then you can get more for the shop, and invoice him for the shop that includes his house price (although not itemised). That way you're both happy !! ;D

You can go on the basis of as £25.00 per hour on a block of offices and for shop front from £6.00 easily and done on a weekly basis or if near a busy road twice a week etc.

If its commercial work that I won't get paid for for 8 weeks then I add a little to my standard price to make the waiting worth while! :)

much commercial work is sewn up with an existing wc so is the only way to get that kind of work to buy it?

if u got into a price cutting situation surely wed all lose and it would drive down the price of cleaning and youve also alienated fellow wc - i dont like to tread on anyones toes dileberately even tho i get some dom work from custys that arent happy with existing wc - usally because they r not relaible, come at all sorts of times or they have got complacent and start missing stuff like bird poo etc.
