Aircraft size and the areas to be cleaned
Exterior surface area and cabin layout influence the amount of work. Two aircraft with a similar passenger capacity can have different cabin finishes, layouts and accessible areas. Describe the actual aircraft type and the services you need rather than asking for a price based only on a broad category.
Choose an exterior cleaning, interior cleaning or both. Ask for the chosen cleaning level to be written down, especially if windows, carpets, galley or lavatory surfaces need attention.
Condition matters as much as size
Routine presentation cleaning is different from tackling a cabin after a spill or an exterior with concentrated marks. Photographs help explain the condition before a visit is scheduled. They do not replace an assessment, but they reduce the risk of quoting on an incomplete description.
Identify unusual materials, existing damage and any care restrictions. Repairs, component removal and maintenance should not be assumed to be included in a cleaning price.
Location, access and timing
The airport or hangar, access arrangements, suitable working space and the available time window all need to be understood. Ask whether the quotation includes any applicable travel or access-related costs and whether anything remains subject to confirmation.
A requested completion time is not a confirmed turnaround. Scope should be agreed against the actual time available, including setup, any required drying and the final review.
How to compare two quotations
Compare included areas, exclusions, access assumptions and completion arrangements before comparing the totals. Check how extra work would be approved and whether taxes or other charges are clearly stated. The cheapest headline figure is difficult to assess if one quote includes only a cabin refresh and another covers a wider clean.
Aircraft Detailing London does not publish a fixed price list at present. Prepare an enquiry with your aircraft type, location, condition and chosen service for an individual work and quotation.
