[elite mike]

Thats high mate, if you do get it you stand a good chance of being undercut very quickly

thanks rich

ime being greedy then  

i honestly think 6 to 700 is a fair price to have the job done properly

after all we  have to make a profi t

some of these prices seem very low, but only because i,ve seen it up close.

How long do you think it would take two guys to do it using a van mount?

But at £600 to £700 at every 6 weeks, I'd be surprised if they'd take you on.

I've quoted for a couple of big jobs and both went to the lowest bidder.  St Pierre was done for £1000 per month, and that place is huge, but the guys (OCS) just did the minimum and everyone was happy.

It's a case of checking areas and missing them if they don't need doing.  That mightn't sound right, but it's how it's done.

The biggest job we've had is the Hilton Newport and we cleaned the rooms every three months, we cleaned some areas every-other-month, and we cleaned the public areas every month; even though it was all meant to be done every month.  No-one complained because the price was cheap and they new it.

You're right. Mike says it needs a 60 foot pole, doesn;t look like that in the pics. Also just realised its not one building, its got a perimiter building too.

tbh tosh ime not sure how long it would take 2 men with a van mount ,

i know i could cut corner s and just concentrate on  the busy areas 

but that is  not me , it might be ocs though 

but as i said i am just helping a mate quote for this place ,and just want to try to get

a overview on what some of the member s of this forum might charge.

as i said there are some insides to clean to ,about 10 in total which need a ladder and 2 men  under h+s regs

It really is impossible to quote this one without seeing it up close.

Somewhere between £3.00 and £1000.00 

[Wc Solutions]

id go with £450 - £500

[Dennis Taylor]

Those leaded panes will leak like a sieve. i wouldn't touch it.

that's clearwell castle isnt it?

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

i must admit that if i was pricing this for myself and not a mate .

i would put in a price of between  £600 and £700  am i  being greedy  

i am being serious by the way

Taking any internal window cleaning out of the equation-

I would allow for 2 full days because I reckon there's more than 1 day there for 1 man.

I do quite a bit of work similar to that building & I can advise you that it can be a nightmare! The windows have no frames, they are set into the stone mullions & surround. This will require much more than a quick whip round & be prepared to do some windows more than once.

I'd be looking at £400 to £500 I think.

As Tosh said though, it is very hard to price & appreciate many things just from photos.

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Also-

They might say 6 to 8 weeks now but I'd be very surprised if they actually stuck to that.

I used to clean this for my old boss and frankly if it will take 2 of you 1 or 2 days i would get out of window cleaning!!!
2 of us used to get there at 7.30 and be gone by 11.30 with a van mount.

Yes the windows do leek but its only a 20min job to run round and mop the windows up.

Also the say every 6-8 weeks but its more like every 12-15 weeks

That might be why they're looking for another windy!

That looks like one of Batemans jobs Mike. There is no Matt Bateman on CIU anymore though.
