Re: How much to clean solar panels

That is exactly what i say when a customer asks me for a price over the phone,

Customer- how much to clean my windows/solar panels please.
Me- how longs a piece of string, ill have to come later and give you a quote or i could charge you too much or not enough.
Customer- ok that will be great, thank you see you soon.

Only a fool would quote work without viewing it unless you can guarantee what the job entails. Call that thick but i call it having my head screwed on!.
Some houses i do work out £1 per panel and some £5 all depending on access etc, if a custy rung me and i said £1 each panel but when i got there it should be more £5 a panel id feel a right old tit!.
Id have thought you would know how much to charge for solar panels with the amount of work you have anyway.

Do you take a tape measure. You should have a tape measure.

That is one of the most annoying parts of customer interaction for me. Had one two days ago, 'how much to clean my velux windows as we're moving'

This was my response, as you can tell I don't tolerate idiots  ;D

Thankyou for your email enquiry. It is a little difficult to give a quote without first inspecting the property. However if you were able to give a few more details then hopefully I can give you a clearer idea of any charges; such as is the rooflight at thefront or rear of property, do you wish us to clean the inside and outsides or just the outsides; how long is it since it was cleaned and how heavily soiled is it, how many roof lights are there, is there anything hindering access (flat-roof extension, electrical cables, if access is required from the front how busy is the road?). If you could upload a picture or two of the property and the underlying situation I can give you a far more clearer idea.


I never heard anything.  Perhaps they don't tolerate idiots either  ;D ;D

Mick Kent,

I was originally looking for that kind of answer which you gave, some are £1, some are £5 and you gave the reasons why.

That was all I was asking.

As for the amount of work I have, I always like to ask questions when I am not 100% with something.

It's not his fault, he was drug up in the gutter, an uncle of work out of him is better than nothing.
