people will say too low, maybe right, but from what i can see £40 to £50. Dont look too bad, outside quick enough, inside squeeg and blade. Not much more than an hour if your quick enough.

Yes, I like it, get what you can. I am guilty of undercharging  to be fair. Something Im slowly working on. I tend to undercharge, and then realize the mistake, and then have to go like the clappers to make it worthwhile. Daft I know. Its why I like the bog standard outside of a 2/3bed semi, 8 windows, £12 to £15, takes 15 minutes, everyones happy. I never like quoting large/different jobs.

Saying that, I cant be doing too bad, as I did the outside of a biggish place last week, huge conservatory on it, which they wanted inside of conny doing too, I charged £70 but it only took an hour and half. In my book thats plenty good enough hourly rate. But i do work fair quick, coz im a skinny b'stard ?

Yeah, I'd be around the 70 pound mark, think you've done well to get it at 120 unless they're filthy.

2 hours no more less I’ve under priced it (my hourly rate)

Call was form the Estate agent , hopefully this will help me get more work from them

For me looking at the windows I can see it would be £160 first clean and then £110 every 4 weeks, inside and out.  

Time wise which is probably more relevant. it's 2.5 hours regular.

Probably wouldnt want insides done every 4 weeks, outsides regular reckon i could do in half hour and Id probably charge £30. Maybe different, pictures can be deceptive. i did a large old manor house place yesterday, looked massive, georgian windows etc, charged £40 but only took half hour. I darent push it much higher lol.

I always found, in my experience it takes a long time to get paid for work done for third parties (landlords and house sellers etc) through estate agents. Now I tell them I'll do the work but they have to receive the payment in advance and hold it ready to pay me promptly on completion. Folk generally want the work done ASAP but think they can pay when they might get round to it.

Thats the sort of price I would have gone with , we always charge at least double the going rate for outsides if it’s a one off the inside we would do but Ime not keen on inside work and would normally say no but on this job would do it . 

Looking at it again Ime assuming it’s not a builders clean that they want is it ?? If it is then the price would be around £400 +

That’s what I thought when I first seen photos , hoped that the apex windows wasn’t size of the room ,  that wasn’t the case ,  house had 3 levels
