How To Quote For Cleaning Windows 

These days I normally price jobs up at £2 per window and then round it down slightly. I don’t see the point of charging low prices, it is easy to forget that we get no holiday pay, no employer’s pension contributions, no sick pay and on top of all that I calculate I lose about six weeks per year to bad weather. There’s plenty of work around (I’m currently two weeks behind), low prices tend to attract low quality customers in my experience.

Hi everyone. I clean windows in North London . I would charge about £22 ish if it’s every 8 weeks with wfp . Trouble is lots of people want to wait till there windows get really dirty to get them cleaned so they hang onto there money . They ring me every 4 months but still don’t want to pay much. I cover myself by cleaning common areas in flats and domestic cleaning which pays good money round here. I’ve been cleaning over 30 years.

Its surprising how quickly you can work out exactly how long a window clean will take, right down to the minute. I like your thinking Ashley.

Cheers Ashley another useful video especially for newcomers, its always a slight balancing act with prices especially as you say its depending on the area, distance, downtime with driving in between etc, i guess best to know your minimum per hour is very essential as never go below that. Good luck everyone especially with challenging months ahead. Cheers Andrew, Stamps Cleaning Services.

That’s cool price. And the price you’ve just said is spot on. .... we was working yesterday on round in Liverpool big house converted into flats ground floor second and third we clean the second floor flat (wfp). For £10.00 (4weekly) ... there was anoth window cleaner doing ground floor (trad) I know the guy he said you taking on anymore work so I said year he said you can this one because it’s out my way i asked how much he said £2.00 I said ste I wouldn’t get out of bed for that mate told him we charge minimum £10.00 so if she wanted them doing she’s gunna have to pay £10.00 and he looked at me like I had 2 fucking heads ..... some window cleaners haven’t got clue on what to charge this is big problem here in Liverpool when new customer phoned up and you tell them minimum price is £12.00 but I’ll have to have look before quoting up they always say my old window cleaner was only charging £5.00 I say if you want professional services there’s our the prices We charge. ....... there’s 2 many cowboys out there doing trad and wfp and something needs to be done. ..... cool 😎 video once again. 👍Liverpool

I clean a house with 8 small windows and a patio door the same size as the one in this video and I get £20 every 4 weeks for it. I think I over charged but they went for it, feel a bit bad but they obviously don’t mind as I’ve done it every month for over a year and no complaints.

I would charge £22/23 for regular 8 weekly clean, (+£5 for first clean) in my areas Handy to know you quote nearly the same way as me :)

Hi Ashley. This video has been very helpful. Could you please make a video on how to price for softwashing/render cleaning. It is something I would like to try and progress on using a DA component and a Gardiner backpack. These are future goals but it would be good to get more of an idea. I have watched other videos but none are as comprehensive as yours.

Hi mate, hope you're well. Can you make an updated video about pricing during these current times? How do we stay competitive and profitable? Thank you

I heard it said once 'If you're too busy, you're too cheap'

I’m just starting out so this is great, been binge watching your vids, I did get a few jobs but I under charged I think, Im thinking to just check other windys in my area what there average rate per certain house is and go off that, great video btw. Starting with my car 🚗 and trad hoping to grow quickly so I can afford wfp tho looks fun

An old boy who had recently retired in my area gave me about 15 odd decent sized bungalows, he wouldn't tell me how much he charged which I found a bit odd and just told me to go round and price them up how I feel they should be priced, sills and frames were absolutely filthy on everyone so he'd literally only been cleaning the windows the whole time, most of them had conservatorys too so I priced them between 20 and 25 pounds the first clean and between 12 and 15 pounds from then on, he'd been charging £3 for those without conservatories and £5 for those with, his prices hadn't gone up in over 20 years, all but 3 of them totally got where I was coming from and were more than happy to pay, the remaing 12 initially were reluctant but saw the job I'd made of those 3 and 2 years later their all satisfied customers

I'm currently working full-time as a window fitter Mon-Fri, I'm so driven to earn as much money as possible and become as successful as I can. I'm trying to think of a little side hustle I could do on the weekends to earn a little extra money Do you think it's realistic that my friend and I could start a window/fascia cleaning weekend business? I have no idea how the business works, how to gain customers, how it'll work just doing saturdays, how much to quote etc. Just hoping you could give some advice.

Good morning Ashley...how do you quote post building window cleaning in/out? Regards

looking to start and i want to go for the wfp backpack only to start eventually get some trad gear (feel wfp provides more options and access to awkward windows) before i heard your price i said £20-25 full scrub of frames and Sills with a pole. would you recommend just going backpack route from my car as viable would only be doing weekend or 1 day in the week at the moment until viable to transition full time. where i currently work there are 139 windows all poled and takes them around 2-3 hours @ £400 every 8 weeks. (not a window cleaning job outsourced company)

Can you do an updated price video for 2022

If the customer wanted the inside done as well, how would you go about pricing it? Do you just double the price or just under double? I imagine the inside is more time consuming than the outside so I can see that being a reason to just double it. I'm starting up myself very soon and quotes are an important area I want to be sharp with right off the bat. Thank you for your uploads, they're really well done and informative. 👍🏻

In terms of a conservatory, how do you price that up,Ash? thanks

always good stuff here, dont forget to charge more if they give you gray hair

Hi pal you say you charge more now, how much compared to £1 or £2 per window? Also do you collect for your owed or other method thx

Hi , a charge a rate of £2 for 5-minutes and I tell the customer that I time the work and then at the end of that will tell me how much to charge they are quite happy with that I will usually give them a rough idea beforehand.

Out of curiosity you would do that trad i assume? How would you do the windows above the roof? Im trad and i lose jobs as i wont go onto roofs due to risk of damaged tiles just wanted to know if there was a way around this? Great video again!!

How much would you charge for this property now? 🙏

£1 for the door glass Ashley , 50p surely !

20 pounds doesn't seem like a lot...maybe because pricing is different in Australia??

I don't understand, so you clean the entire house's windows and get only 20 pounds as payment? I mean is it profitable considering you are going to use gas, chemicals, etc? Plus your time lets say you spend 2 hours, 1 for cleaning and 1 for travel, your hourly wage is 10 pounds?

Good video! Your very cheap though, I’d charge £30 for that easy, all frames panes sills done trad.

£12 to £15.00 for that house here in Merseyside. Some would even do if for £10.00

I would want a least €50 euro for all them individual windows, Dublin Ireland.

I have a window cleaner and have 8 windows and 1 door and I pay £8 every mounth x

Garage door cleaning...

I would charge £18 in my area

The fact i would probably charge no more than 12 for a property of the same size shows hoe out of touch i am and how much i am screwing myself over considering this video is 5 years old! 🙁

Why would you want to charge people a lot more if you're busy I'm a good person I wouldn't do that to somebody that there are scum about

I still dont understand if you are sarcastic or not :D

U might as well do it for free
