I have a round where you can quite easily do 50 houses in a 8 hour day but they are small and only about £6 each

But generally dont kill myself trying to do personal bests every day

I just have a figure in mind  and try hit it as quickly as possible and gear my self and equipment and prices up for hitting it easily as many times a week as i want

Houses come in all shapes / sizes / prices etc so how many a day is a very hard question

I reckon as a rough guess like everyone else has said that on 3 bed semi -4 bed detached type stuff somewhere around 20 give or take a few will be about right

Extremely compact stuff no doubt more , and more spread out stuff less , and prices would usually reflect that to keep days earnings similar

How can you have a target amount?
Every day or area is different ;D

In some places I do upwards of 15.
Whereas other days I'll do two or three...

I always wonder that. The amount I do varies so much. Tomorrow I'm doing just one house then on Weds, I've 13 planned.

I cannot believe that anyone can average 6 or more houses an hour at 12 minutes or less, and actually clean the windows, unless all the houses are right next door to each other and the customers couldn't careless whether the windows look clean or not.

The 'I do 50+ houses a day brigade', is that 50+ houses everyday?

Target amount of houses or ££

Its very easy to have a target ££

Not so with houses unless you clean just one type

I dont know if you are referring to my 50 houses comment but i said i "could"
on one round , which is only one day a month , doesnt mean i DO though
 

i highly doubt the claims that someone is doing 50 semis day in day out properly alone though

100 terraced is pretty dodgy too , unless it s just the 2 front windows
I find terraced are a right royal pita once you get round the backs

Sean - nope. That wasn't aimed at you at all.

It was aimed at the BS brigade. There does seem to quite a large number on here. Anyone who has been window cleaning for a quite a while and has been, or still is, trad as well as wfp knows what's what and how it all works.

With some who post, just the basic logistics means it's BS.

The best I've ever done in one day was 19 houses. 11 of those were contract detached houses on a private estate with straight forwards access all round. The others were spread out on the same estate. When I got home I was knackered and fit for nothing other thans a few cans and putting my feet up.

No BS, if you know Middlesbrough, thousands and thousands of small terraced houses, 2 windows 1.2m x 1m wide, and small fanlight above the door. I was being conservative with a hundred a day, but thats how some make a living and others a fortune and end up millionares, some  can talk the talk & walk the walk

Exactly.

My first house took two hours today.
Would be impressed if they did 50 of them. Unless they do 100 hour days... ;D

Must be doing piddly little houses. I'm gradually concentrating on the bigger stuff now.

This type of house is what about 75% of my round consists of , i get about 18 of these done a day , the rest is commercial and those odd ones you hate but just dont have the heart to cull !

Out of interest , what would you lot charge for this house , conny is all the way round at that height .

I would have said £20 and I'll do the garage door at the same time and if the car's parked there, I'd give the windows of that a once over as well plus I'd go over the sofit around the front door and garage each time.

Extra few minutes doing a few extra's = extra money.

If they said no, then I'd say also £15 for just the windows.
