Just wondering if i am too cheap. Ive got a load of these detatched bungalows, very compact, all traditional method...I am charging £8.00 per bungalow or £10 with a conservatory. Is this too cheap? Here is an example of the size



They are nearly all OAP's in this area, so not sure how far i can push the price really. I am in Cardiff btw if it makes any difference.

Thanks

I would be charging about £6-£7 for the windows that I see in the picture. (front and side). Probably about £12 for whole lot excluding conservatory.

[mike1986]

Right ok...quite a difference then. Just to clarify i am charging £8.00 for all sides of the bungalows

[Mike #1]

Think logically you are charging £8.00 for 1 without a conny but charging an extra £2 for 1 with a conny which probs has as much glass as the rest of the property  .

Most of them old folks will have more money than you and you are giving them a cheap price , As said it should be £6-7 just for the front & side

It depends where you are. I would charge £17 for that or £20 with a conservatory WFP.

[Matt.]

About £8 each but would add a bit more for conny, conny prob = more work than the house

Maybe £8 bungalow add £5 for conny, if you have a lot very compact you will easy do 4-5 an hour so nice easy money.

I'd prob go including con £12 monthly, £15 bi monthly and £18 3 monthly.

Of course I'd always aim for monthly.

[Ian101]

looks like a £12 job and with conny £16 but if I had a close with loads on then tbh I wouldn't loose any sleep at £10 or even £8 if I could do 4 to 5 an hour

oh and like the poster above says ..... there all minted £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

That's it in a nutshell if your comfortably reaching your hourly target then happy days, if your killing yourself or not
achieving your hourly target then up the prices.

Don't forget to add another 25% to that price if you use an additive in your pure, for the extra shine.

[PoleKing]

I wouldn't be getting them at £20.

That's a 6/7 minute job at most (glass time) if a load together, £10 seems fair.

[kempy]

if your happy with £8 and can get x3 or x4 done in a hour , then that's £24 / £32 a hour .
Pretty impressive that .
A lot better than most jobs advertised .

Wow! that some fast work, I keep reading on here people doing 3 bed houses and like this in picture in 10 mins, I just can not do it that quick, you guys must earn a fourtune, I only get about 130-150 a day, I do about 10-12 house a day and work doing that 9-4pm average.  Maybe I am fussy lol - I would charge looking at it and what it might be out back 10-12 pounds and £16 with conny windows if average size.   Be interesting to see if any posts on here in relation to amount of houses completed each day.  I use WFP and I am not slow but I do make sure the job is done proper and faultless, I just can not work out how to get 5 houses done in an hour and be to a high standard, quality work if you can and fair play

I would not assume though old people dont have money as someone mentioned here.  I find the best payers are those in rented or council houses and dont want the change, the ones in bigger houses want all the change, so go with what you feel is fair and what you need from the job to meet your daily wage expectations.

[rosskesava]

3 bed house in 10 mins. Yeah, sure and pigs fly as well.

Here we go again.

[SeanK]

It all depends on how close the properties are, if you get five semi's together and you only need to unpack
pack once then you could manage them in an hour.
If your unpacking, packing and moving the van between every clean then it would be very hard indeed.
Also depends on how problematic the windows are, if you get wfp friendly frames then this speeds up your clean times
as well.

[Stoots]

im going to have to have a serious practice on my own house to get faster, i average 20-30 mins for a 3 bed semi.

Its not really about practice Adam its about having confidence in the method, most guys who are slower tend to over scrub
and rinse.
Xtreme brushes are another example of this, because they are so light and aren't stuffed with bristles some guys think
there's no way these brushes could be getting the dirt of the glass.
Again its nothing more than a lack of confidence in the brush as there are guys who use nothing else with great success.
Don't get me started on additives that's a lack of confidence that borders on the delusional.
But at the end of the day some will say its better to be safe than sorry and so what if it takes you a bit longer, as long as your
happy with your earnings then that's all that counts.
There are slow cleaners out there making more than the speedsters.

Also the original poster said cleaning trad..

So 6/7 minutes imo would be a very poor job.

[dazmond]

£10 without conservatory

£12 with conservatory

WFP though not trad.all frames,glass,sills and doors cleaned every time.4 weekly.

connys dont take much longer as normally i find i cant clean down one side due to fence and the actual conny is built around a door and window i would normally clean if the conny wasnt there so i only add a couple of quid unless its a large one.

i have a fair few compact ones in groups of 4 or 5.£40+ an hour.im very happy with that.
