Having not a lot of experience in commercial quotes, I'd appreciate some help with this one.

I come to a figure myself for a monthly clean  - all windows, balcony glass, and skylights. But would like to see how close or far off I am.

All done WFP

Just after a ball park figure.

Thanks

hard to quote that one.
I think that's one of those jobs where you sigh as you get out of the van each month.

lots of messing about getting onto balconies/going through building  :-//

I think you should ask  people how long it would take them,then take it from there.I work everything out on time spent x amount i wish to earn hour.If you price per a window that would'nt include any messing about like getting  on/off  balcony or locked doors and access. A over all time spent is best method of pricing.

Just my thought

how many windows are there ? how many balconies are there ?
hard to quote something like this as it would be guess work,

Depends on what you want to earn in a day, if you can complete the job in a morning then £125 would be reasonable, you might be happy to earn that in a day. A lot of newbies would.

To be honest the balcony's are quite easy to get to, and all the other windows, and skylights follow an easy logical order - I figure 4 hours  ( after a couple of cleans) should see the job done.

I've sent my quote off, so we'll have to see :)

Well.. I thought it time to chase my quote up.

The reply was ' no, we have chosen someone considerably cheaper'  :o

They must chosen a monkey to clean this job, and paid in peanuts !

I know my quote was very reasonable for the service offered. :-\

To be honest @£125 you wouldhave hated doing this job and I bet that you are better off without this job...sometimes big jobs are good but I suspect this one would have be a PITA.

Cheers

I thought it fair, and reasonable  price - But if I quoted a lot higher than the other company, what are they charging?

I don't believe they can offer a reliable and professional service for a lot less than I quoted.

Just don't like being told my quote was a lot higher than someone else's, when I know my quote is not just priced to clean windows, but to provide the highest possible service, and for the customer to have complete assurance in the person doing the job.
