Initial clean price and advice

[Carnmore]

I've been asked to price an initial clean and it's been about ten years since my last one..

35 windows including four roof lights, which do not pivot.

The frames have duct tape residue (see pic) - will this come off and if so how?

It's in rural N.Ireland

It would be a nightmare trying to get that duct tape residue off. If the frames are wooden they might be better off just painting over it.

You need pvc solvent cleaner it’s a bit like thinners , if it’s on wooded windows just go careful as it can desolve paint  , I would try a test patch to see how long it takes you price it well as it will be a pain

T&G Remover, tar and glue, is good for things like this, not cheap though.

I have sticky stuff remover, in halfords. Few quid and test patch.

To clarify, the frames are uPVC rather than wood.

Can anyone suggest a price?

To be fair, if all the windows have that tape residue to be removed, it could be an all day job or longer, Ive never had a similar so cant be sure. Maybe time how long it takes to do a small bit and then multiply it. Maybe explain that future cleans would only be £x (whatever your hourly rate is, say £35/£40 )

I would go on an hourly rate, so let's say your happy with £25 to £30 an hour and it's going to take roughly 4 hours. That's roughly £100 to £120.

That's what I would quote, but it's up to you. 

It would probably take a couple of days work if it's on all 35 windows.

I don’t get where this 35 windows is coming from it’s a tiny house ??? Do you mean 35 pains of glass there isn’t 35 windows from what are shown in the picture ??? From the pictures it won’t take more than a day to remove that stuff but I would want £450 minimum as it’s a pain job to do
