You will need to speed up but will come in time

[jim bean]

You won't be on £20 an hour straight away I'm guessing unless u have already got the technique down an tht

[john63.]

Been going over a year now yes u can easily gain £20 hour once you have a few houses on the same road.also bad weather will affect your hourly rate as u are not working every day although some do work all weathers.

[john bird]

[paul marshall]

The other day when it was raining I was earning 32quid an hour on cheap compact estate work!wfp and I have been goin one or two years!!!(18 actually!).it can be done.some commercial I hit 50-60quid an hour,same for connys roofs/fascia cleans.not every hour worked though!

20quid an hour sounds great but its not really once u factor in overheads,equipment,tax,insurances,no holiday/sick pay,bad weather and van costs.

earning £20 ph £30 £60 or what ever does not mean anything if you dont do this each hour you work over an 8 hour period.

I would be interested to see what the real figures are.

to the OP what do you need to earn an hour ?
What ever it is double it at least to get what you need to turn over

an experienced wfp'er will be cleaning a lot faster then a newbie.

Worry about what you do, do a quality good, have good customer services and everything will fall into place earning Tens of pounds starting out is never going to happen and even more unlikely this will happen for years day in day out, this game is no where near as easy as some would have you believe trust me

yeath daz im 10 weeks in and my dream was 20 an hour im just under it now but already im thinking 20 is the minimum ,as you say cost of van etc an thats before you even consider awkward custys ,hoping to hit 25 ish an hour an i will be more than happy , mind you my dream will then be 30 an hour  

[john63.]

If i earned 40 pound an hour i would only work 3 days a week. u cant earn 40 pound an hour everyday in this country.

your earning £20 per hour 8 hours a day every day ?

[paul marshall]

well if im out 35 hours i tend to make 650 ish so am gettin close but i do jet washing as well so if i get a few of them a week thats what bumps it up ,,dont get me wrong plenty of hours i may only earn 14 pound but over a week i seem to be gettin close to twenty

You could price the top windows at £1.25 per and bottom windows at £1.00 and doors for a £1.00 or patio doors £1.50 per door and french doors at £2.00 to £2.50.

Or you can look at a house a small two bed house at £10.00, Medium 3 bed at £12.00 a large 3 bed at £18.00 to £20.00 and so on.... hope this helps..
