£45 for gutters and £16 for PVC clean? How are you cleaning the PVC? By hand or pole? PVC cleaning usually takes longer to clear out the guttering and I'd charge around the same.. £25 gutters only £50 gutters & PVC...

"How are you cleaning the PVC? By hand or pole" what chemicals do you use ??? and does it bring them shiny and white again ???

I think hes using Virosol mate. With a pole

 

[CNS-southwest]

No pole, by hand, seriously miss estimated the time lol, no worries this what a test run is for and now I can adjust my pricing accordingly.

Did 2 hours on it today and so far I have: cleaned all the gutters out, fitted a new gutter piece and deep cleaned the Upvc at the front.

So would now would be Est at about £45 for Upvc

and probs only £35 for gutters as the front one is a lot smaller than I realized and gutter cleaning only took 25 minutes and they were full (not including fitting the new peice)

 

[CNS-southwest]

It took a total of 3hrs 45 mins to do windows in n out, clean gutter, replace a piece of guttering, clean Upvc and fascias.

Scrim was useless after about half the windows and I left my others at home.

Couldn't do the velux (1) window as my pole is too short so ill need to get 5m lol

The inside of the kitchen window will need a few more cleans before its perfect because of two years of smoking.

I used a softer rubber and found it much better for me.

Generally a good lesson

My charges would be

£10 outside

£10 inside

£40 for Upvc

£30 for gutters

£10 to fit new gutter peice ( not including gutter)

So a total of £100 for 3.45 ( about £28 per hour) but I'm sure ill be faster once my stomach is recovered and after good practice.

After you have soaped up the window scrub it with a microfibre. It will clean the smoke of really easily

 

[CNS-southwest]

Slight reach issue as I don't have my step ladders yet so I was doing it in a short pole lol. Might elastic band one to the end lol

However that is a great idea.

 

[CNS-southwest]
