Quoting strategy for my PRESSURE WASHING business - Step By Step

[@jonathanshannon5722]

One day after watching this video I quoted a lady £200 following the structure set out in this video.. Just closed my first client with the potential of another job off this lead. Thanks man 🔥🔥

[@colinobrien3184]

Thank you for that info ,am startin my own pressure washin company and gettin everythin ready for next year so ive been watching your videos and learnin keep it up mate

[@TheV1king93]

Mate, Thank you so much for doing what your doing. As it happens me and my dad have decided to go all in ourselves, and spent 5k on a full van set up. i found your videos after trying to do a bit of research. You have been a massive help with your advice as i really have no clue where to start but i am determined to make it work, i am 30 years old with 3 kids and i keep feeling like this could be my last chance to make something of myself and hopefully a future for my family. You have helped me so much already so thank you again :)

[@SMOUT_]

This is really nice to read, thanks so much for watching and I wish you guys the best of luck in the future 🙏

[@Staystrongbrotherx]

How did it work out for you Bibby?

[@Zeeman123]

How is going for you mate? Any updates?

[@B-cleanpw]

this is one of the clearest explanations iv'e watched on her many people like to charge for there course for info like this

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it 🫶

[@jonathanshannon5722]

I'm so glad I've found your channel, especially this video on pricing. I'm just starting out and was struggling because everyone I follow is US based 😵‍💫. Keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks buddy I appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@lalli007]

Absolutely love your content, it really helps when researching pressure washing in the UK. Thanks buddy.

[@Deanoscleaning]

thanks jake i did a qoute the other day and my head was spinning but luckily i took loads of pics and told the customer i would get back to him, luckily enough i landed the job but im definitely taking your advice and measuring up and breaking it down next time , appreciate your time putting this out 👍

[@CybreSmee]

You should look into an automated system like Tave (a photography CRM, but works perfectly for any industry) or the likes. You setup macros for your services then just check whats included. The customer chooses a date and pays on acceptance of the quote, job done. Sends followups to prompt them for repeat work, does your taxes and tracks expenses, all that stuff.

[@VKPressure]

I think we all needed this video, i find it so hard to charge what is an appropriate amount. I always worry I'll look greedy if it's what i consider a big total even if i know I'm not really earning from it! I found this reassuring that if i know I'm doing good work is ok to charge for it lol

[@seanlee74]

Very helpful Jake, well done buddy.

[@kevinwall795]

Love your videos. You are very generous with your knowledge. Just about to take the leap into pressure washing and your videos hsve been invaluable. Sub'd!

[@liamdaly4817]

Really helpful thank you

[@robertdavies850]

Very useful thank you! Trying to increase the pressure washing jobs I'm getting alongside my regular gardening customers, so this was great 👍

[@nickmiller3541]

Some great ideas there thanks. Keep up the good work

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

I use Zoho invoice.. easy to use aha can do quotes or invoices fully itemised..

[@sniperdogz7658]

Great channel good things too think about I think redundancies are coming my way tell me how does the jetwash business fair in winter as I imagine it’s a seasonal job .thanks David

[@itsboothybby]

Another great informative video mate cheers ✌💙

[@ched999uk]

Great to see the whole quote process. Do you not get customers picking and choosing what parts of the job they want you to do, surely you need something like subject to a minimum charge of £x.

[@kemalgezer]

Hey Smout, I can't find any pricing information about the Netherlands, do you think the prices can be similar to the UK? Do you know anything about that?

[@andrewleahy9318]

How long would it take you to do a job like that roughly, very informative clip,cheers 👍

[@TigerCleanUK]

Great video. Very interesting to see how others do it. I have a question on the measurements - is it not 53sqm, as opposed to 53m2? My logic being, 3m2 = 9sqm. Therefore, 53m2 = 2809sqm. (I've lost sleep over this, bro).

[@dianesmith6245]

Clearest explanation, we’ll done!

[@stephennixon4501]

Cracking vid Jake really helped me out

[@Garcon6693]

Thanks for the info

[@danydany9076]

hello mate still working i want to start a small business patio cleaning how much will cost is still worth

[@TENIEKEN]

Hey isn’t a buffer tank 1000litre too heavy it broke the suspension from my Luton van what size would you recommend? Is 300l enough per job for driveway? Max

[@almilhouse9059]

You could fit 250-500 litre tank or even use a small or large wheely bin to use as your buffer tank, if its a huge drive obviously the bigger the tank the beemtger but then again it all depends on water pressure at the premises you are working at. Best of luck

[@TENIEKEN]

@@almilhouse9059 hey thanks for the reply! the gravity feed is terrible so I bought a water pump to connect and it’s doing pretty good however now I need to get electricity from the client which makes me look cheap. I want my work to look flawless and independent what can I do for this get a generator? What do you guys do? And yes I’m trying to find a 500 litre tank on fb thanks man

[@LancashireProClean]

I always quote block paving cleaning with the re-sanding in with the price as its not really a option as it must be done for the stability of the driveway the pressure washing process removes the sand so it must be replaced

[@MRSQU1SH]

100th Like 🎉 Been looking for these kind of videos for a while now !

[@chrism2966]

Try to offer 3 prices. Low - medium and high. Obviously these prices will start with the basic wash ( minimum ) plus any extras as options. When a customer receives such a price they feel you are conscientious and they will, typically, select one of those prices rather than seeking any alternative quotation elsewhere. It is professional. It works.

[@ianspong9982]

Hi Jack Thanks so much really helpful 👍

[@TJ18438]

Mate you are a legend

[@charliegardener2865]

How do you price Patio clean and regrout?

[@ethanhowgate7838]

How do you explain to the customer that you’re going to leave and send them a message with the quote on? Do they not ask why you can’t do it on the spot? Thanks

[@ryancheyne4712]

Helpful info cheers

[@kavostat8130]

Hi Jack Just want to know, you don't charge any labour time for sealing and sanding separately? What you did, just added the materials costs to the washing cost. So no labour costs for other two tasks sand work?????no labour cost Seal work ????? No labour cost Thanks

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks for watching. I always add materials and labour yes, even for sanding and sealing. I don't always separate them on the breakdown, it depends how in depth you want to go with the customer. You could say: Sand £25 Sand application £25 Or you could just say Sand: £50, it's up to you 🙂

[@alanmcgrady2513]

In that quote of £4 per sqm is that a soft wash with hypo as well or do you upsell a soft wash to. How much would you add on to quote for that service?

[@BenGunning06]

Honeslty mate, thank you so much! Legend!

[@freddyboy1402]

Hi, just wondering exactly what you mean by the sealant and what it’s for? Unsure if I’m just pee brained or I missed a bit

[@SMOUT_]

Some people offer sealing after washing, have a little Google mate, plenty of info out there

[@freddyboy1402]

@@SMOUT_ ahhhh I see, I thought you were offering to seal people windows😂 thanks for getting back to me so fast as well, love the helpful videos❤️

[@HannahMoore1980]

Well explained

[@kavostat8130]

Hi again Can you say, how long for instance take that job? So i can get the sense of measurement and time relationship with the cost ? because i am more used to £ /per hours lik a garages 1_ parts ie say £30+ labour 2 _ £/h ie say charging £ 20/hour For example job takes 2 1 /2 Labour 2.5 x £20= £50 Parts £ 30 Total £80 If you see what I mean Thanks

[@SMOUT_]

I don't generally worry about my hourly rate. If it's a large job spread across multiple days, I usually ensure I'm making at least enough to cover my "day rate", plus materials. Others may choose an hourly rate.

[@davidforsyth305]

Very good

[@peterwest4996]

all this is a bit long winded i have been a decorator for over 30 years - to quote i price a job by time day / hours it takes + materials - mostly on the spot then its up to them to contact you with a yes or no - simples

[@derekjohnson9131]

That's the way we do it ...don't need any tech to work that out but like me you had education

[@rezzzurection4845]

So is biocide included in the £4 per square meter or would add on an additional rate if you spotted large amounts of black spot?
