P+R - We have some we do exactly the same layout and we charge £18.00 each and they could do with going up.
As for time if you were on your own trad you would be looking at 1 1/2 hours so not bad for £70-80. 2 men less than 1 hour
Thanks Robbie

£72.00 for 1 1/2hrs work - nice, and yet you are talking about putting the price up?  :)

I suppose the next we will hear you have been undercut by some so and so eh?   ::)

Are you doing them trad or wfp.
If I quoted it would have been round 12-50 to 15-00 a unit trad.

I would have priced an individual house at £20, so doing all 4 would for me have been £80, those 2nd floor windows look pretty high and I always charge more for those.

Done trad there ain't a snowballs of doing that in an hour and a half, 60 windows in an hour and a half, even without going 3rd floor is unrealistic, and don't forget those awkward windows with the railings.
You've got 3 floors to clean, no way on gods earth are you going to shift a big 3 tier ladder around and manage to clean those top floor windows in under a minute, just climbing up and down the ladder will take you at least 20-25 seconds.
People keep thinking they are like bloody lightning when they clean a window, they may feel fast but I have done countless time and motion studies and if you are going to do a consistently good job you are going to take close to a minute and a half to clean those windows once you are up the ladder, then you have to add climbing up and down said ladder and allow time for moving and re-positioning it for the next window.
The front is straight forward, but at the back you will have to take the ladder down, walk down garden and go to the next property and then put the ladder back up again, I note that there is a large fence separating the back gardens.
Thats damn hard work off a ladder.
WFP I would certainly say an hour and a half quite easily on repeat cleans.
1st time clean I'm not sure, certainly a lot longer than an hour and a half though, I think you would need to be onsite to properly assess how dusty and grimy the windows are.
P & R also says he bladed off some windows, if he was accessing the top floor with ladders then I can well understand why it took 3 hours to do.
For me though, even if there were paint to be knifed off on the upstairs windows, the ladders would stay in the van, I'd have only been prepared to knife off paint or sealant on ground floor windows. but that's just me.

I was thinking £15 a house for a monthly clean.  But a builders on each property where you have to get your ladders out, maybe £75 a place.

I think Alex is just trying to get people 'going' - but I think this topic has run its course.
