Another how much would you charge

That for me on a contract would be day rate, don't think it would take you a day but after doing it you wouldn't want to do anything else. As it's a one off then that would depend on the state of the windows, anything from £350 to £500. 

 
Ok wow I gotta learn how to price big jobs I think

how long would you take to clean ...

Windows are only general dirty , odd bird splat , cobwebs other than that it's maintained quarterly

As p/t said make it a day job. Mingling or not it shouldn't take more than a day. As it's a one off it should be more than your normal day rate. You've said it's maintained quarterly, why are they asking you for a one off quote?

Go with your gut feeling, and learn by doing so, nothing worse than quoting on other peoples advice and missing it. With a 45cm 4 jet brush it should take you 5 or 6 hours, assuming a 27' pole will reach the top windows. It will however be hard work, even for those that are use to doing big one site jobs.

It's definitely a learning curve but never been shy of hard graft ..... Unfortunately just a standard pole and normal brush [emoji849] ..... Bigger pole and brush is on the shopping list

Nice job. These are the kind of customers I live for ? Expect to walk a lot as you have to clean it in rows not columns.

Should be an easy day job if your pole is comfortably long enough. I'd get a large brush for it immediately, it'll pay off for this job only.

Thanks I look forward to tackling it [emoji16]( if I get it

Ok daft question why clean it in rows besides the obvious of letting top drip off some before tackling below?? - I was thinking of doing a few columns at time and then moving along ???

Yeah once it's confirmed I,ll get a 40/45cm brush for next day delivery I think it's going to help lol

£500-600 job that if once off. To be fair it's pretty straight forward but just a very big and time consuming job. I would arrive early and getting cracking at that, take your time... perfect job imo.

To give op an idea of how much work is involved, I clean this section of glass every 6 months, they're always minging and I get runs off the frames. It takes me about an hour.

It's just the way I found works best for me, but we do have a lot of salt here.

I start by scrubbing the top frame only, all the way down the building.

Then I go back, clean the top window avoiding the top frame all the while scrubbing the top frame of the second row as I move along. And so forth.

Does that make sense?

You can divide it up into columns if you like of course, but I find the longer I let the top frame dry the more likely it is to turn out perfect, and overall I find I can clean faster.
