id be gutted to only earn £45 for 90 mins work on these types of houses.its just not enough money for me.then you have to drive to your next job.

so you could end up losing another 15 mins driving to and from the job so you only earn £45 for nearly 2 hours of your time!then you probably have to text them the night before,gate code needed and wait to be paid online probably.

i would get that job done in 50 mins on maintenance cleans.nice high flow.rinsing on the glass.5 mins there,5 mins to next job.so £50 or £60 an hour INCLUDING drive time.

even sticking to these schedules i can lose a bit of time bringing my hourly rate down to £40-£45 an hour but im happy with that on bigger stand alone houses.

i would say lee you are slow if it takes you 90 mins to clean that on regular cleans.your probably over rinsing or use a lower flow at brush end.

regards
price higher/work harder!

Lee I wouldn't do that !!! I'm not really into houses mostly commercial. I still do them few big houses in Loughton but wouldn't take anymore on as I don't like doing them. I gave up some and had a few peeps enquire about there houses but turned them down. You should pass on your number Lee and ill pass any new ones onto you. Ill carry on doing the few there as I know the people and been doing there windows for 27 years.

I would say about £65.00 8 weeks.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Danny mack.
Was joking.  ;D
Thanks will pass on my number couldn't do your early starts. :o
If this custie wanted fascia boards cleaned at some point Danny would you be interested ?
As I'm not setup for that top floor looks 50 feet at back for fascia boards.

Daz yep have turned up water flow last couple of days.
Yep makes sense what you say with the travelling I have jobs under 10 mins drive away though but that's something to factor in.

I got a feeling they will go bi-monthly which would suit me better as priced £60 for that.
Thanks everyone.
