[suds window service]

can you help with this quote please,it,s a nursing home that used to be a country house it has 154 windows to be cleaned,windows are of average size no problems with access to any windows is a big job but looks to be straight foreward...thanks dave

[Alex Wingrove]

If that is all the windows, the ones that are in the picture, and they are reasonable windows etc etc,

I think £250

[williamx]

What will you be using to clean them?

If its wfp, then you might have problems on the first couple of cleans with drips from the sash windows.

[NWH]

£350-£400 outside only,Alex stop going in to cheap cos your poleing it tut tut tut lol,how much would you want to trad it that`s always in my mind when pricing.

[Dean Aspects]

I would charge a day rate for a job that size that way if their are any problems you are there to sort it and you dont lose out if it gets done quicker then you gain

Dean

[Alex Wingrove]

Me go in cheap, pffff,

that was a trad price, that wouldn't take me a day on ladders,

[NWH]

Who cares how long it takes mate,i reckon with the pole you could do that in 2-2.5 hours easy money after a couple of cleans.If they were in it would be the side=cup of tea,the front=cup of tea,the back=cup of tea,and then finally the other side= the toilet lol,if there out the whole lot in one go.

i am wfp, windows are all the size you see, there are 4 sides to the building 154 in all ...i was thinking 200 quid ish 16 weekly....oh it,s me first commercial job lol  might as well start big.....ps half of it is d/g

I don't reckon.
Not to do a good job.
I'm quick, but that's way bigger than a recent job I took 2 1/2 hours on.
I charged £80, and that's got to be at least double.

[brightnclean]

Your all too cheap on this one.

I do a lot of similar if not as big properties with these type of windows.

First clean would be £600 ish.

Subsequent given that they are 16 weekly would be.....  £400.

Ok there are 154 windows but they are all sash from what I could be bothered to look at and almost all georgian pane ones. I think £600 is a bit cheap really but if you want the work then it's not too bad.

Oh and before anyone says there's no way u can get those prices.. I do. If I dont I walk away from jobs like this.

[Sir Squeaky]

So assuming it takes about 3-4 hours you want between £150-200 per hour. :
To clean windows...

Anyone know the number for Rogue Traders?

Squeaky not having a dig mate but pricing in the way you do your cutting your own throat,£160 for that job is seriously under priced.

[Sir Squeaky]

Yeah, well I haven't had a proper look around it have I?
I'm sure I'd ask more in reality, but it would still work out good money even at that price if it takes 3-4 hours.

From what i gather my pricing is around the same as squeeky but to charge £160 for that property is way underpriced its not just the time taken to do that job but also the toll it will take on your body as it will tire you out so you have to take this into account too as you probably wont feel like doing anything else after that job

[brightnclean]

Just had another look at the pics.

YUP.. £600 for 1st clean then £400.. or.. walk away from it. If u do that WFP its gonna take at least 2000 ltrs of pure to do it 1st time. Probably a LOT more to get an acceptable finish.

Look at it this way..  154 windows.. all sash and georgian.. so lots of framework to do. Compare it to say 20 semis each with 10 windows.. normal DG ones. That job will take 3 or 4 times as long 1st clean than it would to do the semis.

[Alex Wingrove]

i dont think i could charge more than 60ph for that, i reckon it would take me 6 hours off ladders, 4 with the pole, or maybe im not remembering how quick or slow i was

NWH im not saying you cant get that price, i just dont think i could,

then again looking to price up a patio job soon, reckon will be £200, and looks like alot easier work than that job,

how many windows round the side

my van comes on wednesday

[ronnie paton]

you couldnt do it all with ladders and i do simalar windows WFp and there never 100% crappy white paint that runs and bits of paint coming of on your brush.

i would love to know how idf any one does get these perfect with WFP

[NWH]

The people who own this property would expect to pay between £400-£500 for just the outside,i bet they have it in there mind that they want it done 3-4 times a year and have allowed a £2000 budget for it.

You probably wouldn't.
The old georgian place I did was scrubbed and rinsed twice on each window and still had runs.
Came back the next day for the inside, and did some outsides again to try to fix it.
Still had some runs.

Could have done it 20 times, result would be the same.
Customer happy though...90% improvement!
