What actually sets the price
Four things move every exterior quote: area, height, access and growth. Area is obvious. Height matters because work above pole reach needs platforms, priced in explicitly. Access covers conservatories, extensions and tight side passages that slow the job down. And growth matters because a wall washed regularly is a light clean, while a decade of established red algae needs treatment, dwell time and sometimes a second application.
The extras worth understanding
Second biocide applications on heavy red algae staining: quoted up front where the staining justifies it. Access equipment beyond pole reach: itemised, never discovered on the day. Bundles: walls, roof and roofline booked together quote keener than separately, because setup and travel happen once.
How to compare two quotes fairly
Ask three questions of each: is it soft washing or pressure washing (on render, roofs and cladding, only one answer is acceptable), is a residual biocide included, and is the price written and fixed? A cheap pressure-washing quote on render is not a bargain; it is a repair bill waiting.
Commercial pricing
Commercial buildings are quoted per job after a site visit, because the variables are physical: elevations, surfaces, access, scheduling and documentation. Maintenance contracts price keener per visit than one-off cleans, and multi-site operators can be quoted under one contract.
