Aimed at the domestic cc who performs several jobs per day. Naming your area would be useful.

you should aim a bit higher, the more you charge the more you will earn as long as you do the job to the best you can you will get a good name foryourself and people will use you what ever you charge

At the end of the day whatever guys on here say they aim for a day/hour doesn't really mean a thing. What matters is how much profit we make at the end of the day!

It's very difficult to say what you aim for. I work on £200 a day and look for a £1000 a week. But it dosn't work like that some weeks may be as little as £500 and other weeks can be £1500.
I think it counts at the end of the year when you see how much dosh is in your pocket.
Since April i have been flat out earning well above my £1000 target a week but i know it wont last as next week isn't looking so good. :'( O well it usally comes good lets hope so.
If your happy with what your earning and the service your providing that is the main thing.

What people aim for and what they get are two different things.

It's better to shoot for the stars and end up on the moon than aim for a street lamp and end up in the gutter!

In other words aim as high as you possibly can!

How can you live on £150 a day??  It takes £75 - £100 a day to run a business and I mean run not play.

So at £75 a day before tax, sickness pay, holiday pay, profit etc youd be better off in Tescos.

Sorry to say but the day my business costs £100 aday to run is the day i finish or have several vans + drivers to pay(all i can say is u must have a very nice business set up).

I live in south west scotland and would be very happy with £100 aday(starting to make good tracks towards that) income let alone paying that out aday, im only a one man band with 3 machines,a van and a healthy customer base.

I like your coments calmore (shoot for the stars and end up on the moon than aim for a street lamp and end up in the gutter) very good.

My all time record was one day last year 2 jobs total £750.

Residential, not commercial.

Wish I could get that just once a week  :)

Seems most people get around 200/day. Most people who quote prices in threads on here are advising or stating 125/150+ to clean a suite and around 40/50/room. This is now put into context. It either means these people are either the ones who are the highest earners (certainly not the average person) or the ones who are very slow.

I dont believe 200 is enough for the professional who has all soughts of things to take into account but surely much above 300 for much of the country is taking the p**s. Electricians, plumbers and many builders generally dont earn more than 300. Dont say being a cc is more difficult.
