Commercial window cleaning leads

• Typical work: £300 to £12,000 First-year value of an annual contract. Low: a small shopfront cleaned monthly at GBP 20-45 a visit (about GBP 300 a year). Mid: a small office at about GBP 60 a visit every three weeks (Bark: commercial properties average every three weeks), about 17 visits, about GBP 1,000 a year. High: a fortnightly contract on a larger building that trade2base says generates over GBP 12,000 a year. One-off high-level cleans (rope access, MEWP, 5+ storeys) are GBP 200-500+ a visit (CCS Services, MyJobQuote) and Bark puts a larger commercial building at GBP 300 a visit. All prices exclude VAT., our estimate from published prices such as CCS Services (Cardiff) Ltd, How much does commercial window cleaning cost in Cardiff (a contractor's own price table).

How we price every trade: lead prices and method.

Wherever you buy commercial window cleaning leads, three things decide whether the channel pays for itself: whether you see the job before you pay, whether the price is fixed and published, and how many other firms are handed the same enquiry. On Worklanded all three are answered up front: every lead shows its job and area first, the price is £8 flat, and each lead is offered to one firm at a time; it only moves on if you pass.
