FAQ
Athlone cleaner pricing questions, answered
Common questions about cleaner pricing in Athlone, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.

State minimum 2-3 hours on the quote. Athlone rates run 30-40% below Dublin metro.
€2.6m public liability and employer's liability minimum. Coosan and Garrycastle premium often require €6.5m+ coverage. Quote Garda-vetted staff (free via National Vetting Bureau but requires admin time) as overhead. Medical and pharma commercial clients (Ericsson, Covidien/Medtronic, Allergan, ALPS Electric) require Safe Pass, cleanroom protocol experience and ISO 14644 awareness for tendering. Custume Barracks requires security-cleared staff.
Yes, massive June-September volume. AIT/TUS (Technological University of the Shannon) drives end-of-tenancy demand. Quote per-property (€150-€420 for 4-6 bed student HMO) at landlord portfolio rates. Sherry FitzGerald, REA and Daft.ie landlords drive repeat business.
€8-€18/sqm/year for nightly cleaning of standard office space. Athlone Town Centre and N6/M6 motorway corridor logistics drive demand. Annual contracts at 10-15% discount with quarterly invoicing. Major tenants (medical and pharma HQs, logistics tenants) drive premium commercial work.
Yes, the highest-value commercial vertical in Athlone. Ericsson, Covidien/Medtronic, Allergan and ALPS Electric drive specialist medical and pharma cleaning demand. Quote at €23-€52/hr with Safe Pass, cleanroom protocol experience and ISO 14644 awareness visible. Medical and pharma contracts often €15,000-€80,000/year.
Hourly rates are €20 to €44 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A€24-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C€20-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
