At those prices they will end up totally demoralised and jack it in within a few months, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Lives a few mile down the road from me, absolutely bonkers.

Those have been "special" prices for months, you should have seen his Feb "special offer"  :o  :o

Probably some more second hand equipment available on ebay soon (and it wont be mine  ;D )

Not just that, the driveway cleaning is £45. Just a mobile number, do people actually trust these people. Saying that though I got asked if I could beat £60 for a five bed, HSL, living room, diner today. Goodbye!

It doesn't make sense which is why they go tits up after a couple of months. No business sense  at all.

I'm just waiting to hear that somebody has seen a cleaner offering..


..."we'll pay you to let us come and clean your carpets" :o

Reminds me of the Four Yorkshire Men sketch from Monty Python. ;D ;D

£12.50 per hour, disgusting what people charge!:

"Public House Special Offer Full Pub £75 max 6 hours
For the larger job we supply one operative exclusively for your premises for 8 hours £100 (please note a great deal of carpets can be cleaned in this time)"
Doing the best job in the world as well as I can

Hi Guys

As John says they have no concept of the cost of obtaining and running the business, probably come from a maid cleaning service and are just supplying labour.

Cleaning quality will be minimal.

Cheers

lets look at some maths here..

Charge £75 for 6 hours

Pay east European worker £40.00 per day

chemical costs £2.50

2 jobs a day
income £150
out goings £45.00

profit for day £105

5 workers

£525 profit per week. EACH

Might change workers every now and then, but there are plenty who will do the work for £200 per week cash in hand.

Nope..... don't see the owner going out of business just yet...  ;D ;D ;D
