Cleaning Interior Windows

[S.W. Window Cleaning]

Hi,

A friend of mine is thinking of starting cleaning interior windows only. There is nobody in our area doing it and he thinks it would be something different. Do you think this is a good idea? How much could you charge for a 3 bedroom and a 4 bedroom house? That's insides only. Any advice appreciated to get him started.

Thanks

Steve,

Im pretty sure that people want to get their outsides done as well when cleaning insides . Imo most can handle insides , and call for help on outsides because their more tricky .

But who knows ? If theres a lot like me hating doing insides in your friends area , it might be a way to go .../emoticons/wink.png

Im in the same area so can pass inside work to him as I don't want it. Its just knowing what price to charge?

I do some inside windows and charge the same if not a couple of quid more as definitely kitchen windows are more greasy for obvious reasons. The way I lead is that there are the same amount of glass so same price. Like previous comment said inside is easier than outside and most who have outside done are house proud enough to have the inside done as well whether by a cleaner or window cleaner or by themselves.

I charge the same at outside but think I'm going to up the cost of inside as hate it they leave me to move everything

I charge 1x or 1.5x depending who the custy is. Sills have to be cleared by custy too.

Can't see your mate making a good business out of insides only tbf.

It doesn't matter what you charge, you won't get enough work to keep you going, not to mention that the customer has to be in when you call, so you will be wasting a lot of your time.

Thanks for the replies guys. Think he would be better off doing outsides as well.

I charge 1.5 times the cost of the outsides.

I think you'd struggle to make a living doing insides only, clients won't want it every month, more like every 3 months which means you'd need a ton of customers to fill the books

Agree, and there are ALWAYS things in the way, and they are always delicate heirlooms.lol

I do quite a few internal window cleans but as has been said, they are only every 3 months so not a chance to make a living from them alone. The internal cleans I do also include a few very large conservatories that are attached to b&bs and tearooms etc but still not enough to call a reliable income.
I call my residential customers the evening before I do their inside glass so they can move everything to safety, this also happens to include a lady who now resides in a jar!!!!!!
