Room to fit van on driveway....

These pics are 2 houses....what would you charge on a 6 weekly frequency and how long would they take?

Cheers lads

3 storey windows and skylights need at least a 35ft pole.....

[Robert2k]

£40 - £45 take about an hour in chill out mode 30 minutes if no ones in.

[zesty]

£60-70 down here. Probably around a tenner up there daz? What’s a loaf of bread in Manchester? Sixpence?

Any excuse to share a pic of your little van 😎

[Dave Willis]

I wouldn’t even touch it - don’t do council houses!

Thought it was one house Daz...

But that’s a good price, that’s what I’d charge down here 👍🏼

[zesty]

£30

30 mins

Adam, Just my two pence worth, but rather than thinking £30 for 30 mins, think £50-60 for 30 mins, (I know your up north)

I sometimes say to people ‘your not paying for my time, your paying for your windows to be cleaned’

That sometimes means earning 50, 60, 70 odd in one house that takes 30-40 mins...

I have an £80 house that takes 50 mins, and a £100 house that takes 1 hour. Both pay, not for the time, but for the job to be done well. Regardless of time...

Just a thought mate 👍🏼

There is no way I would get £70 for that in my area.

No one is paying £70 for window cleaning, that's a ridiculous amount round here lol

Mind you I don't think there's many houses that big where I am, my biggest job is one £30 job the rest are £20 or less.

I'm happy with £40-£50 an hour that's more than most certainly up north.

There’s gotta be some rich foke up north 😜

i always price up on how long i expect the job will take me....i just overestimated this one.....i thought each house would take around an hour(i priced up on £40 an hour when i picked these up over 5 years ago now).first cleans did take an hour but regular cleans no more than 30 mins each.....

they are always dirty even though their 6 weekly due to the amount of trees and shrubs around them....

[nathankaye]

(Not ready any of the posts above)

On 6 weekly basis, I would price between £35 - £40 per house.

[Dave Willis]

Call me old fashioned but if I found out my cleaner was putting pictures of my house on the internet and gloating how he was making £80 an hour out of me the word “professional” wouldn’t be the first description I’d be thinking of!

[dazmond]

ill put some more up in my next post....this time 2 houses that i think are underpriced that i cleaned today just to balance things out...

[PHILIP HARDY]

Daz, does not travelling time come into the equation, £80 an hour is very nice but if your in the van 30minutes getting there then another 30 mins getting to your next job,its down to £40 an hour straight away, 
You cant use the same criteria for a next door job and a country side one!!

[dazmond]

Similar amount of windows round the back too(no top windows though due to large sloping roof)bi fold doors and 2 large windows on the side...

How much would u charge 4 weekly?

[dazmond]

How much would u charge 8 weekly?a couple of windows round the side and skylights on the roof.

by the way these 2 jobs are next door to each other

343 jobs i have on my books at the moment.....this is a part time round,i also have different frequencies( 4 weekly,6 weekly,8 weekly,12 weekly and one job i clean twice a year).....its not a full 40 hour a week round mate.....

cleaner planner says  49k a year but i dont earn that much as i have at least 4 weeks off so knock at least 4k off.....

[dazmond]

There u go mate......its a 25-30 hrs a week round.....maybe your just slow....

[dazmond]

what makes me so efficient is all the below factors....

1.lots of work concentrated in one area (built up over many years)
2.im very organised in regards to work schedules(cp helps with this)
3.hot water and a high flow
4.electric reel
5.electronic payments(drastically reduced collecting)
6.short working days so i can condense my energy into a few hours work
7.i know my work so well(best place to park,problem windows,etc)

so my 25-30 hour working week INCLUDES admin,purifying water,putting batteries on charge,chasing debts,etc...

nope...not at all....its cynical window cleaners who think im talking rubbish and making stuff up....im just putting them straight!

as for the "what would you charge?" its a bit of fun.....plus i like to see what other guys would charge for similar properties....

it might not be much to some people but im proud of what ive managed to build up over the years....

[Don Kee]

nope...not at all....its cynical window cleaners who think im talking rubbish and making stuff up....

Why do you care though?

[dazmond]

to show some window cleaners whats possible....to inspire them.....some dont believe its possible to work short hours and earn half decent money......(in fact i would have been one of them 10 years ago).......i had a terrible underpriced trad round back then,just about getting by financially too......

[Dave Willis]

Oh dear 

[deeege]

What’s with all the Dazmond hate on this thread? 😂

I’ve met him a few times, he passed a few one offs onto me when I was getting started.

I know the area he works, I live about 2 miles from it. The ‘council estate’ work he has, isn’t really a council estate, it’s a load of semi’s that are priced at £250k -£300k, a lot of money for the North.

If you think he’s just willy waving with threads like this then fair enough, but I’d rather read his positive posts than any of the negative rubbish that the usual suspects come back with every day.

No hate towards Dazmond here mate, I was just wondering is all.

I’ve personally found that the longer I’ve gone on the less I care about how others perceive how I go about things, and the less gratification I need from others is all.

Considering Daz is so refreshingly positive, I was just surprised it bothered him.

Deegee, please don’t tell me you didn’t know I was joking about the council estate houses?

It was a bit of banter, daz knows that 😎

He’s a good bloke, I respect him and his work ethic. He’s got a great round and great prices 👍🏼

Same as me, except... I live down south so it’s even better 😁😜

3 storey windows and skylights need at least a 35ft pole.....

I would have charged a bit less than you (however, those skylights deserve a premium).
But I wouldn't have posted it on here!

[mufcglen]

Do you have to open both doors everytime you do a clean pal looking at that reel positioned?
I’d hate that especially on a windy day!

Do those rear doors lock in place by pressing the hinges in like the custom, of so nothing to worry about any wind catching the door and closing it😉

no mate.....ive only got both doors open because i use both my 25ft and 47ft poles on this job.....

i normally just leave one open(left one)when working/reeling out

[dazmond]

Do those rear doors lock in place by pressing the hinges in like the custom, of so nothing to worry about any wind catching the door and closing it😉

yep...they do.....they also have a rubber stop on one of the doors so if it accidently slams shut it doesnt damage the other door....lovely.....
