Another how much would...

[OnPoint]

Hi All

So thought I would get some opinions which I hope yous will share.

How much would yous charge per each house for...

Cleaning Windows

Gutter Clearance

PVC clean all upper level 

Weirdly they only want the fronts done, I assume this is because there homes back into wooden areas.

I was thinking £60 per house for all the work listed. 
 

Many thanks!

£70 each probably

Thank @Louis not much difference from my figure.

I'd be about the same price as well. ?

£60-80 is a fair price provided it’s both nice easy job

Aye, as pjj said £60 to £80 per house, nice easy job. I charge my customers £50 to clear gutters for a small detached house. It keeps them sweet and i get repeat business. ?

@scottish cleaning service do you do gutters by hand? I find myself pricing gutter jobs high, and avoiding telling people I do them because I cant be arsed with the skyvac and dragging this huge generator into the back of the van every time

I made my own progutter tool that connects to an extending paint pole. It means I can reach 8' in each direction without moving. Bought a Ladder Limb to clip the bucket onto my ladder. I'm faster this way rather than drag the Vac out. Only really use the vac on big jobs or high jobs where i can plug in to the customers socket.

The way to do gutter vaccing is get enough to do a complete days work we do 4-10 in a day then on the last job clean the vac out and unload the van , we have two vacs one is 110 volt and runs off a genie the other is 240 volt mains , we take which ever will be needed if customer will defiantly be in or there is an outside electric point take the mains one if not in take the genie

I have virtually every tool, gutter vac, etc. If it's first floor and full of sycamore leaves its quicker to do them by hand. If the down pipes are badly blocked no gutter vac will unblock them. You'll have to get the ladders out and take the downpipe apart. 

If it's 2nd floor and half full with the usual tile dust, moss etc the gutter vac is the quickest and safest method. 

No one method is the best, both have their merits. ,

Agree with part timer. I did manage to unblock a 3rd storey loft conversion downpipe with a skyvac atom the other day though. I had it up on the flat roof next to me ( no way i would have got the big vac up there) I just put the dirt breaker tool in and stuck it down the downpipe, it sucked the muck out no problem as it had been raining heavily. Skyvac atom saves the day again.

i was very very lucky though. I shouldnt really have done it. Risked getting the tool stuck up there in the pipe and would have had no way of retrieving it. Luckily I won ?

9 times out of 10 a vac wont unblock a severely blocked downpipe

You have more and more downpipes that are in the ground and are blocked at the bottom. The only way to unblock them is to dig them out or take them apart from the gutter.

Did a semi bungalow once on a bone dry day with the Vac, nightmare. The Vac continually got blocked with all the dry leaves. Ended up using my stepladder with a grass blower and blew all the leaves onto next doors roof by accident and ended up getting that one to clear as well. ?
