I see Clear Vision's point, it reminds me of of the £2.50 brigade, wfp costs alot so why devalue its use, yes you dont spend as much time doing the job but thats because you have laid out cash for the latest equipment.

We dont like jobs being done at 2.50 but he has his dole money and dosnt pay for insurance etc so he can say thats a fair price for him to do it at, with this in mind is it not true that wfp is devaluing traditional cleaning. To me while wfp is still not used by EVERY wc you should be taking advantage and pricing as a traditional wc but get it done quicker and safer, and on jobs like this where there is a saving on platforms etc why should the hotel save the costs - did they buy the wfp gear ?

just a thought

Dave W after all that I noticed you did not come up with a price!

I said if this job could be done in 2.5 hrs I would be happy with £100. I think thats a fair return for the time and the wfp investment - which for me is small but I could still do that job with my small kit!

Of course people with a large outlay on systems etc to the tune of £15000 - £20000 have to recoup costs which I suppose must amount to £5-£600 a month so they have to charge more.

Charges are relative - to all of us   :)

Yeah i didnt give a price, when it comes to cleaning windows im about as experienced as my cat. My coments were slightly off topic maybe, sorry. They were just thoughts invoked by the huge diffence in cheapest to most expensive price's suggested, and I wasn't having a go at the cheap end nor the higher.

I always see things from a business point of view and if theres savings made from investment in equipment, then the investor should be the one to profit from it.
