Im doncaster based.
South yorkshire.
Ive quoted this regular 4wkly customer of mine £200  to clean the front of his home (the pale yellow one).  Photo taken from google earth, its more dirtier than the picture shows.
So thats a residential house on a  busy main road at £200 and your cleaning a commercial business which seems a whole lot bigger and you will need to section if off from the public depending foot traffic etc.
Do you have access to an additional water source that would allow for a quicker rinse rather than van mount?

around £800 possibly more, normal  tap water with some chemical to suit, can't really tell from the pic how bad it is. Will certainly use a hell of a lot more than 500lt. Do it when its closed and no cars about.
Looks like the one down the road from me  ;D

I wouldn't expect to clean that during their opening hours as customers and staff will be coming and going all day long.
So price it well!

your right,  i wouldn`t   be able to do during business hours, there business hours are 7.30 until 5pm so not many daylight hours before or after. they close at noon on a saturday so thats probably the best time to clean.

no access to water on site. but carry 700ltrs when full, i think that may be enough, but just in case i could rope my brother in law in, he carries  1000ltrs

price wise im somewhere in between that mentioned, was actually thinking around the £500 - £600 mark

not really bothered if i dont get it as iv got plenty of upvc g/f/s conny roofs etc booked in.  may just go in high and if i get it then its a bonus.

Saturday afternoon s work.you won't need more than 4 or 5 hours and 500L of water IMO......If the place shuts at 1pm you'll be done for 5pm-6pm.....

This is where very hot water can help speed up the job.....in fact you might be able to clean it in less time as it's straightforward enough....

If you get the job let us all know how long it took you from pulling up to driving off..... ;)
price higher/work harder!

I was thinking the same, 500 Ltrs , one afternoon. Doesn’t look difficult but then again Iv never done anything like that so I could be wrong

I know it's really difficult to guess how a long a job will take and price accordingly.

But I reckon maybe 4 hours?

£800 really?

I'd probably price it at £250. Allowing a day
