One of our better customers is a VERY famous actor. The first time we cleaned his windows submitted a bill for £120. He paid me £150. Nextime put a bill in for £150, he paid me £200. Third time bill for £200. Paid me £300. I said to thim this has to stop. I'm happy with what I charge you, his reply; my last film i got paid $6,000,000.00 for 8 weeks work!! Now I have the keys to his house and all of the codes for the alarms. We have settled on a price of £600.00 in and out. Takes about 2 hours for 3 of us (all trad). We also cut his grass do the gutters etc. Its all about being in the right place at the right time. I got this customer as a result of playing squash with his PA.

2 days Mick. 2 of us.

£200 a day each? You should be looking at earning more than that a day mate.
We look at them, they look through them.

Why put a price on it ? Sounds like your trying to make people jealous !!!!
Had a mate like that and he had nothing to show only a nice van and a DIY system living in a rented flat !!!!!

Because when I first used to come on here the success stories are what motivated me.

Maybe your mate will be a success story given enough time. I've been in this game 15 years and I'm only now getting anywhere near where I've always wanted be.

Easy come easy go Danny.

Easy come easy go is very true. £800 for one job sounded good but then when its explained its 2 people working for two days I can see why some on here say its pretty run of the mill. But then like I said earlier one £800 payment makes a big difference to cash flow.

Im unsure as to why anyone was thinking it might be £800 for a days work for two men.  ???

Why on earth does a big job automatically mean twice the hourly rate for some? Big job in theory ought to mean lower hourly rate if thats all its based on. However, the joy in it fo rme is - pull up and crack on for a day in the grounds of a fantastic and beautiful house with the associated gardens and a cheque at the end of it all before you go home.

Bateman doesn't live in a flat, he lives next door to this, so he doesn't have to go far to enjoy his hobby.

I very much doubt he us giving his mate half the money's.

Sounds like a good price to me. I'd be happy.
