I'd be content with that price if it wasn't too far to travel. Nice job.

Is there a method for pricing commercial jobs like that? or do you just try and visualize how long it will take?

Thanks.

I would just visualise how much pain I'm going to be in afterwards and double the price what I have in my head hoping I would not get it. That's defo a fit young lads type of job and not for old guys like me  ;D

I'd add an extra £50 on the job to get the guy some decent clothes to wear for commercial jobs like that. Indeed any job.

I'm guessing rinsing would be on the glass so effort wouldn't be too extreme. Once the brush is on, it's just a question of manoeuvring it surely?

Just looks a bit amateurish, but thats just my opinion.

Good job though, wonder how much water it uses? And jobs like that are great for cash flow. A lot of the bigger jobs we do are really good payers, helps no end. And with 'GoCardless or else' threats for the smaller ones who take ages to pay has improved things no end.

Glad I don't have to work weekends though. Might go canvassing in a bit actually  ;D

At that height yes you would rinse on the glass and maybe use a top rinse bar too.
Would be better to use an on demand ro/di set up on site so can use a good flow too without worring your going to run out of water

Then surely they should get a free t-shirt and a sticker for their backside to say are certified to clean glass? After paying £299 +VAT for the course and a slice of lemon drizzle cake?
