Richy, how long have you been in this trade? You have a massive round, loads of staff and yet can't ever make your own decisions. Surely you must know how to quote by now?

just gauging whether id be going in to cheap

ive got a rough idea what id charge

ive done a few bigguns not 600 metres tho so wondering if price comes down a fair bit when quoting this size
Why would the 'price come DOWN a fair bit' because the job is BIG??? ??? :-\
If its a job worth £30p/h, if its one hour, it's £30. If its 50 hours, it surely got to be £1500?  ::)roll
Dont you charge less per panel if its a big job  then Steve?

Biggest we've done is around 300 meters, with out checking each bit you can never be too sure of how bad it may be!

We charged £1 per meter and then added £50 on just to be safe  ;D
We had a gutter vac and it only took a couple of hours in the end luckily but could have been far far worse!!!

Then again we did another gutter clean on a 4 bed detached just a straight forward 2 high level runs(1 front and 1 back) and one lower run half way across front charged £30, should of taken 15/20 mins with the Vac ended up the roof tiles had moved forward and even the thin vac pipe wouldnt fit and had to use a ladder to move tiles and help guide vac pipe, MISSION!!!!  Took about 45 mins in the end at least!

Id say go in slightly heavy as like you say if they are all full, it WILL be a right pig to do!

Good luck
Oooooo that is shiny!!

Thats what I would have thought. Thats the impression I get when there are threads on here about pricing commercial solar panel cleaning.

Well £30 an hour on windows is rarely £30 an hour every hour. If it's a big job then you'll be there all day and can reduce the hourly rate if desired and still earn the same money as a mixed day on the windows.
