A few pictures of the school we clean


















A typical ground floor window


We also clean the roof lights on top of this building

Looks like a big job.

How much do you charge for it? And, how long does it take?

If you don't mind me asking...

Obviously it's better not to state the price as you would leave yourself wide open to losing the job (not meaning the guys on here who have asked incidentally).
I see that there are some windows above flat roofs.  Is there any problem with the customer allowing you ladder access onto those roofs or do you access those windows some other way?

Hi John

Nice job, wish all schools were like that. Most seem to be georgian & knackered paintwork.

We do a lot of schools, price seems to be the main factor even if you quote to clean all the windows. I get to quote loads but somebody is always doing it at  a ridiculous price then missing most.

I quoted one recently, it was 4 days work for 4 blokes minimum, the company who did it just cleaned around reception then left, of course we didnt get it. HOW MUCH????

The usual, but we still gain some, i,m planning on  a big push to get more soon, but the problem is fitting thm in.

Do you do yours in holidays etc.
