WHAT I CHARGE FOR WINDOW CLEANING

[@james2614mc]

Love your channel and the honesty. I'm from Norfolk so not the most affluent area. Most days I can do 15 houses at about £12 or £13 each and finish about 3. Some days on big new build estates I can do 300 a day but that's flat out 9-4 and that's not what I want to do every day. I think a lot of people big themselves up massively, most people would kill for a job paying £20 an hour, let alone one where you usually earn quite a bit more than that, and work the hours you want to boot

[@KennethTaylor900]

Thanks for watching! Your right most people would love a job that pays window cleaning money! Lol & they do " big up themselves!" 😄😄😄

[@EndFoodAddiction]

I love the honesty mate! I’d charge £20 for that every 4 weeks or £25 every 8 weeks. If you did 20 of those at £25 that’s £500! So it’s doable. I like to chill to be fair and I work 9-2ish so don’t actually have any £500 days. I do have mates that have genuine £500 days and one that has 3 vans on the road doing about £3-400 a day each van 😲! Keep cracking on brother :) 💪

[@KennethTaylor900]

Lol I'd like to charge more but I do a a lot of old pensioners that I've been doing for years so I don't mind. I don't do as many as I used to because they mess up my gardening round!

[@Abstravelz]

Thinking of getting started cleaning windows myself an this video really helped alot, pricing is a confusing area as lots of people charge diffrent but what you charge in comparison for the time on job is all you need to be successful. All the best from South Yorkshire mate.

[@Garysmith2525]

I'm down in Hertfordshire, work in various towns do all size houses flats and some commercials and that pricing seems spot on to me.

[@jamesm7953]

Great channel Kenneth, loving the crap pole 💪🏻 enjoying the down to earth honest chat 👍🏻 I’m trying to find that balance between doing a good job and speeding up a bit to earn a bit more in a day, I faff too much ! Keep the vids coming , cheers

[@KennethTaylor900]

Thanks for watching! Lol you'll have to do an extra 2 houses a day to make up for all that faffing! 😄😄💪💪

[@g0rdyb1ker]

Great channel, I'm in South London and charge £25 for most houses with a few larger ones at £40 to £50. But I mostly do commercial window cleaning and maintenance work.

[@KennethTaylor900]

👍👍👍

[@ChrisAddis]

I think we caused some hurt feelings about that pole 😄 your prices are fine in my opinion. There's the odd day we hit £500 plus in a day...BUT...some commercial is included in that figure. We average £15-20 all rounders. Fronts are minimum charge of £5...whatever you're happy with and what puts food on your table is all that matters. Keep well Ken

[@KennethTaylor900]

Thanks Chris! Lol my feeling are ok!

[@ChrisAddis]

@@KennethTaylor900 😄 🤣 😂 you sure? Is everything OK mate 😄 🤣

[@joehatton2237]

Loved this video mate. My Dad comes out with that but has one lad working for him + a lot of commercial that he does all year round. bear in mind he's 63 and its took a long time to build up some solid rounds/relationships with bonus work like gutters/PVC. Anyone doing 100K on their own from residential is either full of it or works 10hr days, 6 days a week (fair play if so).

[@KennethTaylor900]

👍👍👍

[@AimHigherWindowCleaning]

Technology is the key to those kinda numbers imo. Streamline the system of working as much as possible with the hot water systems and *cough good quality lightweight poles etc. hold out for better priced work and get it as compact as possible and you’ll do those numbers no doubt. Oh and being a young pup would help, with loads of energy 😌 hmm I remember those days when I had energy

[@KennethTaylor900]

😄I've cut down on my windows and gardens! I ain't young anymore, I'm 60yrs now!

[@janovcar]

Technology is key ? I can literally do over a 1000€ per day with the most simple window cleaning equipment you can buy. I literally do not understand the UK market it seems because I have no idea why one would invest thousands into equipment to then do 20 pound jobs lol.

[@AimHigherWindowCleaning]

@@janovcar I’m not sure why the uk market is what it is. We do regular monthly maintenance cleans not one offs. I’d argue both have merits. You might have meaty months and lean months depending on what comes in. And fair play to you if your doing 1000 a day, but I doubt your getting that every day. I might be wrong but I doubt very much you’re doing 200k+ a year as a one man band.

[@janovcar]

@@AimHigherWindowCleaning No, it's not every day yet but I am looking into how to make more money in less time and I found all these UK window cleaner and I am completely baffled. The way I would use osmosis is to shorten the time of cleaning the outside and take the same amount of money. Less points of contact, less clients to work with, less stress.

[@LorenzoAPadulo]

In London we would charge more but expenses are higher so depending on who your talking to is likely not too crazy. Also if all the window cleaners in your area are charging the same then the baseline goes up. That being said 2 years after posting... defo lift your prices, then you can get urself a better pole :D

If they add all their PVC or pint worked windows sales and the Neath, the sales doors are recharged 12 pound for the side. That be a 26 pound job. Well, I was doing 400 pound a day. I No I am doing 300 pound a day. And that is without a job done on a Friday or Saturday. Washing houses down guttering facing board. Which I can make another three eighty

I'm on the Isle of Wight, minimum charge is £12 that could be front door and 2 windows and I get that no bother, then I charge between £16-£40 per house with customers not batting an eyelid at the price and I'm new to window cleaning

Lol I'm gonna sell my house and move to the isle of wight! 😆😆😆

[@gerding86]

I’m down south. You might get someone who will pay £25-£30 for that, it’s fairly small, but for that price the vast majority of their neighbours won’t wanna pay that much so you’re never getting them top dollar prices for multiple houses all next to each other, which is what it’s all about. Best off being somewhere in the middle and getting the neighbours on the books too.

wheres the pole from?

[@adamangler]

I'm further north than you and 15 would be a decent price for that. I'm similar I'm that most of my houses are between 10 and 15 a house. However that house you are cleaning would take me 10 mins and I would clean about 25 in a 6 hour day. I could probably earn 2k a week if I wanted to work 8 hours a day x 5 days a week but there's no way, it's far too boring I only work 4 day a week 8 till 2.

[@uniteallaction]

Personally I think that’s under priced that’s a 20 quid job, I have a minimum price of 15 quid for a three bed semi but that has a way more glass. In regards to whether or not you can make 100 grand as a one man band I would say so if you were working flat out five days a week with well price work you can easily do that. For example I have 250 customers and I pull in 53,000 a year, and that’s working for 6 hours a day.
