How much would you charge to clean this cladding , it's 4 times the size of this roughly and up to 30 ft in places ....

If you already have the window cleaning on here tell him if you was to sort the cleaning also you would do it regular for free,

If you don't have work there already I would charge between 45-70 max if it was really bad, I done all similar cladding on fords recently for free, told them what I just advised you to do, can have it regular for free if I have your cleaning contract.

They have a contracted cleaner who does the windows as well so I won't be getting that, I had in mind a couple of hundred quid is that way out then by the sound of it?

I cleaned the Honda garage local to us a while back.
Ive done loads of cladding cleans but (and I have no idea why) the Honda fascia's were the most difficult to clean.
You'll need to get your chemical mix just right. (id be very surprised if just pure would get the water marks off)
I would be charging much, much more than has been suggested. But pricing threads never go well.
My advice would be to try and clean a patch and see why you think. Don't price before you've tried to clean it.

Well mate, if that's the case, you know that they can't do it coz no company will insure there staff to work at heights,

You are now a specialist in high level cleaning which if you charge £30 ph and you reckon 5 hours £150, don't need to use anything other than wfp, all bird muck will come off with a bit of rubbing.

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking probably a little higher though as I can envisage it being tough work
And thanks pole king I reckon trying a small area definitely makes sense

Depends. Your not the glass cleaner, so either you got the work or they contacted you. If they contacted you, I would charge more  ;)

A friendly customer of mine runs the place in question and asked me if I'd like to quote for it as it needs doing, don't want to rip him off but don't want to sell myself short either ...

You should've said that!

What you need to do is get your mate to get 2 other quotes.

Ive a funny feeling you'll just about be the cheapest ;)

Have you got a chemical ?

Virosol is what I use, if I can't get it done with just wfp. I buy it off eBay

I'd agree with that. Make sure you leave the windows with poope over them too  ;) you might get the window contract on top  ;D

Don't forget to price in the windows too, you'll probably make a right mess of them whilst doing the cladding.
