I have one area could maybe do more than 3 an hour, but generally speaking I can do 2/3 houses an hour. Which is why I charge a minimum of £7. Now I do have some as low as £6, everyone will have a few thats under priced, especially if you have been at it for a while. But for new customers, its £7 minimum. So I can make a least £20 an hour.
I can totally understand some others on here who maybe from areas where the cost of living is greater, i.e. London having a minimum charge of £10+. Every job I do takes some time. Sure you can get some that a next door to each other, and are fairly compact. But you will still have a certain percentage of your time spent driving no mater how compact it is.
If it was a little old dear, with 5 windows, 2 up 3 down. all medium sized. I would charge £7(glass only). I would do in all likely hood 3 an hour, taking into account a little moving and dealing with customers. I could spent 40 minutes to an hour just standing at peoples doors trying to get paid (2-3min over 20). Everything takes time.
Even if you only spent 10% of your time driving (6 minutes of every hour), that is still nearly an hour of your day there.
