Indicative pricing, with the assumptions visible.
Use these ranges to plan a budget before a visit. They are the same starting rates used by our online calculator — not a binding quotation. Surface condition, access and the measured work area are checked before the final price is confirmed in writing.
Rates are shown in euros per m² of work surface. Applicable VAT treatment is confirmed in the written quotation.015 priced servicesPublished starting ranges

The middle band is the usual planning point when preparation or organic growth is clearly visible. The final method still depends on the material and safe access.

A useful plan depends on the property, visit frequency and agreed checks. We define the routine before pricing it.
Plan the serviceWhat the square metre means
Work surface is not the same as plot or floor area.
For cleaning, we use the surface to be cleaned. For roofs, the sloping roof surface can be larger than the building footprint. For painting, walls, ceilings and openings determine the working area. Property documents and satellite views are useful starting points, but photographs or a site check may still be needed.

Planning allowances
What can move the estimate.
These are the allowances used by the calculator. They explain the range; they are not a promise that every percentage will be added to every job.
| Restricted accessNarrow access, setup time or movement constraints. | +8–18% |
|---|---|
| Work at heightHeight, edge conditions or specialist access requirements. | +18–35% |
| Hip roofMore roof planes and edge detail than a simple pitched roof. | +5–10% |
| Complex roofMultiple levels, valleys or complicated geometry. | +12–25% |
| Roof obstaclesSolar panels, chimneys, roof windows or other obstructions. | +5–25% |
| Furnished interiorAdditional protection and movement inside the property. | +12–22% |
| Colour changeCoverage and preparation when changing the existing colour. | +8–18% |
| Accessible guttersOptional gutter clearing when suitable and safely accessible. | +€100–300 |

Before using the figures
Practical pricing questions.
Is this a final quotation?
No. It is a planning range. The final scope and price are confirmed in writing after the relevant surface, condition, access, measurements and photographs have been checked.
Does m² mean the property floor area?
Not necessarily. It means the actual work surface. Roof slope, wall height, openings and the precise cleaned area can make it different from the registered floor area or plot size.
Can I start without measurements?
Yes. Send the location and 3–5 safe photographs. A map view or property document can provide a first approximation, and the missing information can be confirmed later.
Is VAT included?
The applicable VAT treatment is confirmed in the written quotation. The guide should not be treated as a tax invoice or final offer.
Why is there a minimum order?
Travel, preparation, protection, setup and handover still take time on a small surface. The minimum keeps the planning range realistic for an individual visit.
