One day after watching this video I quoted a lady £200 following the structure set out in this video.. Just closed my first client with the potential of another job off this lead. Thanks man 🔥🔥
I'm so glad I've found your channel, especially this video on pricing. I'm just starting out and was struggling because everyone I follow is US based 😵💫. Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Mate, Thank you so much for doing what your doing. As it happens me and my dad have decided to go all in ourselves, and spent 5k on a full van set up. i found your videos after trying to do a bit of research. You have been a massive help with your advice as i really have no clue where to start but i am determined to make it work, i am 30 years old with 3 kids and i keep feeling like this could be my last chance to make something of myself and hopefully a future for my family. You have helped me so much already so thank you again :)
Thank you for that info ,am startin my own pressure washin company and gettin everythin ready for next year so ive been watching your videos and learnin keep it up mate
I think we all needed this video, i find it so hard to charge what is an appropriate amount. I always worry I'll look greedy if it's what i consider a big total even if i know I'm not really earning from it! I found this reassuring that if i know I'm doing good work is ok to charge for it lol
thanks jake i did a qoute the other day and my head was spinning but luckily i took loads of pics and told the customer i would get back to him, luckily enough i landed the job but im definitely taking your advice and measuring up and breaking it down next time , appreciate your time putting this out 👍
Love your videos. You are very generous with your knowledge. Just about to take the leap into pressure washing and your videos hsve been invaluable. Sub'd!
Try to offer 3 prices. Low - medium and high. Obviously these prices will start with the basic wash ( minimum ) plus any extras as options. When a customer receives such a price they feel you are conscientious and they will, typically, select one of those prices rather than seeking any alternative quotation elsewhere. It is professional. It works.
I always quote block paving cleaning with the re-sanding in with the price as its not really a option as it must be done for the stability of the driveway the pressure washing process removes the sand so it must be replaced
Great video. Very interesting to see how others do it. I have a question on the measurements - is it not 53sqm, as opposed to 53m2? My logic being, 3m2 = 9sqm. Therefore, 53m2 = 2809sqm. (I've lost sleep over this, bro).
Great to see the whole quote process. Do you not get customers picking and choosing what parts of the job they want you to do, surely you need something like subject to a minimum charge of £x.
Great channel good things too think about I think redundancies are coming my way tell me how does the jetwash business fair in winter as I imagine it’s a seasonal job .thanks David
Hey Smout, I can't find any pricing information about the Netherlands, do you think the prices can be similar to the UK? Do you know anything about that?
Hey isn’t a buffer tank 1000litre too heavy it broke the suspension from my Luton van what size would you recommend? Is 300l enough per job for driveway? Max
You could fit 250-500 litre tank or even use a small or large wheely bin to use as your buffer tank, if its a huge drive obviously the bigger the tank the beemtger but then again it all depends on water pressure at the premises you are working at. Best of luck
@@almilhouse9059 hey thanks for the reply! the gravity feed is terrible so I bought a water pump to connect and it’s doing pretty good however now I need to get electricity from the client which makes me look cheap. I want my work to look flawless and independent what can I do for this get a generator? What do you guys do? And yes I’m trying to find a 500 litre tank on fb thanks man
How do you explain to the customer that you’re going to leave and send them a message with the quote on? Do they not ask why you can’t do it on the spot? Thanks
In that quote of £4 per sqm is that a soft wash with hypo as well or do you upsell a soft wash to. How much would you add on to quote for that service?
Hi Jack Just want to know, you don't charge any labour time for sealing and sanding separately? What you did, just added the materials costs to the washing cost. So no labour costs for other two tasks sand work?????no labour cost Seal work ????? No labour cost Thanks
Thanks for watching. I always add materials and labour yes, even for sanding and sealing. I don't always separate them on the breakdown, it depends how in depth you want to go with the customer. You could say: Sand £25 Sand application £25 Or you could just say Sand: £50, it's up to you 🙂
Hi again Can you say, how long for instance take that job? So i can get the sense of measurement and time relationship with the cost ? because i am more used to £ /per hours lik a garages 1_ parts ie say £30+ labour 2 _ £/h ie say charging £ 20/hour For example job takes 2 1 /2 Labour 2.5 x £20= £50 Parts £ 30 Total £80 If you see what I mean Thanks
I don't generally worry about my hourly rate. If it's a large job spread across multiple days, I usually ensure I'm making at least enough to cover my "day rate", plus materials. Others may choose an hourly rate.

Clearest explanation, we’ll done!

Some great ideas there thanks. Keep up the good work

How do you price Patio clean and regrout?
Hi, just wondering exactly what you mean by the sealant and what it’s for? Unsure if I’m just pee brained or I missed a bit
Some people offer sealing after washing, have a little Google mate, plenty of info out there
@@SMOUT_ ahhhh I see, I thought you were offering to seal people windows😂 thanks for getting back to me so fast as well, love the helpful videos❤️
So is biocide included in the £4 per square meter or would add on an additional rate if you spotted large amounts of black spot?
