£35.00 per hour so guesstimate 3 hours so £105.00 thats what i would charge thats if your doing it wfp.

Needs to be on a quiet morning or possibly sunday because of the road and passing pedestrians so you could bump your price up here

You will need to cone at least 6 foot of the road off and put pedestrian diversion signs out so they dont cross your path of cleaning thus still giving them a safe place to walk whilst your cleaning

Guys i can only price up on what i would do myself.

if you thinks its too cheap then you have to price accordingly but £35 per hour how much do you guys want to earn?

Also what's the cleaning frequency? one off? monthly? quarterly?

What would you rather do price high and maybe not get the job or price competitively get the job do a good job and probably get new customers by doing so? becasue thats how i do mine and have done so for 4 years.

7 hours a day after travelling @ £35.00 ...£245.00 per day ?

Personally I think it might take longer than 3 hours, maybe 4?

No way will that take 4 hours not if its wfp.

this job here only takes 3.5 hours with the same amount of windows at the rear as it has from the front what you can see

i hav got to agree i think there is only 90 minutes work there so would be over the moon at £65.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

If its a straight WFP job, 2 and half hours from pull up to drive away. If I could get £100 for that I would be pleased!

no way mate!! - £180!!

I suppose if they're prepared to pay  it then why not but I can honestly tell you there's no hope of me being able to charge that kind of money for that kind of job over here, wish I could but know I can't  :(

 :o What variations in price!!!!

What is a 100 quid to a big posh hotel like that??????  Come on guys! £65 max >:(

Put it like this!

Trad window cleaner would have to hire a cherry picker or something like that to do that job! I haven't a clue how much they are to hire but I could imagine it would cost in the region of £80-£120 a day to hire one.

That job in a cherry picker I would guess would take 3 hours? Think of the maneuvering time and cleaning time!

Trad guy might want £30 per hour for his labour?

So that = £120 (max?) for picker, £90 for labour, Fuel costs, equipment wear and tear say £10max (inc fuel)

So that's £220!

Wfp = little hassle on that job. 2-3 hours max.

If you put a price in for £150 it is still a good earner and cheaper for the hotel.

Just my opinion.
