Hi,

The son & I charge £30.00 per hour on domestic properties in surrey & London. Me £20 he £10

We have been asked to quote/clean for the inside & out of the windows of an  office / industrial building as a yearly clean. I have looked at it today & the  building is on two storey's, ground & first. I estimate it will take us  an 8 hour day to complete.  I was thinking of charging £45.00 per hour due to the one off clean & it being office / industrial & not domestic. 

Is £45.00 per hour ok  for two men Me £30 he £15?

Are you good at your job?

[elite mike]

sounds good to me 

go for it

[dd]

Very reasonable. Why not try going in at £50 per hour.

[poleman]

or maybe £75 ahour to be safe!

wfp or trad?

Trad £30 per person, wfp £60 per person.

If you estimate it will take you 8 hours, first clean, then multiply that vs what you want to earn an hour.

Are you speaking gross or profit?  £30/hr for a 2 man team is pennies really, especially for London Surrey.  If it's turnover then you might find that your making a lot less than £30/hr once you've taken out expenses.

How fast are you, if your a Terry Turbo Burrows then you'll be thinking £100/hr/person if your a Frank Spencer then £5/hr.  I wouldn't think anything under £60/hr for a 2 man team unreasonable if you know your job well and work fast.

£360 for a day's work for two guys (i.e. two days work) sounds pretty reasonable to me.  Certainly not excessive.

Trad £30 per person, wfp £60 per person.

Why is WFP double

If you are self employed, you have a certain hourly rate. If you take someone else with you, he should cost the same. What you pay him at the end of the day, is a different story.

because wfp is twice as good as trad!!

Seems a bit strange to me, if I call a plumber to fix my heating and they tip up with 2 people, I would assume that each guy costs X amount per hour. So long as they know what they are doing, what's the problem?

If a company want's you to work on hourly rate, then why do they have to know if the people you employ are family members, or what football team they support, why should that effect the hourly rate you charge?

If we get jobs that need to be done on hourly rate, it's X euros an hour, the fact that I work with my wife has nothing to do with it. I have part time help when I need it, and charge full rate every time. Don't be afraid of earning what may appear to be a high amount of money per hour, that's one of the reasons for working for yourself IMHO.

When you need to price an hourly rate, what you need to work out first is what are you already earning per hour.

I would suggest you do not look at the jobs which have been well priced, but look at the lowest prices ones, you are already charging.

You also do not look at the "working rate" but the whole day rate, for example if you clean 10 houses per day and you charge a total of £150, but you only work for 4 hours. the Daily rate (8 hours) is £300 not £150.
