    You’re so right about quoting the + or - £5! I had a friend who always rounded everything to +or - 50p. Always made me laugh!

  • @BSH0917
    @BSH0917 3 роки тому +3

    I quote pretty much the same way as this, Instead of lowering the price of the gutter clearance I always offer a complimentary window clean throughout with a brush over the frames as well. Thanks for the advice mate

    Can you clean the Facias with only pure water and water fed pole if you don’t have the equipment to put the cleaning solution onto it?

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  4 роки тому +2

      Your Cleaner Windows Sure. With pure water only it can just take a little longer. Soak an area first and then go back to scrub after a couple of minutes. A cleaning solution will help loosen the dirt more quickly, but it’s perfectly doable without.😃👍🏼

      A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services thanks for your help. Have also been thinking about connecting up a manual garden pressure sprayer up to WFP to pump up the solution. Another option I may try. Thanks again.

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  4 роки тому

      Yeah, I did something like that for a while. The longer the wfp hose is, the harder it will be to pump. But if you keep the wfp hose fairly short, it should work.😃👍🏼

    How do you get on with the vents cleaning with a pole. will the water go inside them and harm anything? Also will they drip dirt after cleaning thanks

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  4 роки тому +1

      Sparkle Broadstairs The water won’t harm anything, but you can sometimes get dirty drips from the vents. If that happens I go around with a cloth or car wash mitt on a pole to dry it up before I go, similar to what I use for the inside of conservatory roofs. You could also check out my videos on cleaning fascias.😃👍🏼

    Good idea In counting the clips . So how many clips per £5 do you charge

    • @aemackintosh
      @aemackintosh  6 років тому

      Christopher Hawthorne £5 every 3rd clip is a good guide, but you might want to charge a bit more if it’s very dirty. Of course it will depend on your location and method of cleaning etc etc 💦😃👍🏼

    • @christopherhawthorne7457
      @christopherhawthorne7457 6 років тому +1

      A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services yeah I usually price going on the dirt etc . I’ve never used the method of counting the clips usually just classify it as such and such a price . I think I’ll give the clip counting a go 👍

    • @aemackintosh

  • @csr9408
    @csr9408 5 років тому +1

    A.E. You seem to have a working system of quoting. A component of conducting business is knowing how to measure the work, time and labor. All service businesses need to know their hourly rate! To do this: 1. Add the total number of man hours of a single job. 2. Divide the invoice amount (excluding taxes) by the man-hours. 3. $?.?? is your hourly rate. When you know your hourly rate, you can reverse this dividing your invoice amount by the hourly rate to determine how much time it will take to perform the job. In my area, hourly rates range between $55 to $67 per hour.

    @l.bcleaningservices 6 років тому +1

    Seems far price to me
    I do the same kind of thing i count the length between the clips
    If just cleaning the gutters.facias and soffits it's normally £3 per length and if gutters need clearing out aswell i put up to £5 per length
    If just cleaning the gutters out then £5
    This all depends on how big the building is as sometimes it can go upto £200 so then time wise kicks into play and i try and thing how long it will take and make a price that way.
    That seems to be the rough price in my area

      Sometimes if they say yes too quickly, I think maybe I should have charged a bit more. If they um and ah but then say yes, I feel like I’ve got it just right. And if you do a really good job they will be happy either way. Sometimes it depends how much you need the job as well though I suppose.😃👍🏼
