how much would you charge to clean this?

[armagh27]

£30 full clean

£30 wfp + i'd keep the posh front door pillars clean, provided their upvc. No point havin everything else clean and not the surround, takes 2 mins to give it a squirt. Lol

If the back is similar to the front no more than £25. It's a nice easy job.

I'd be laughing if I got £20 for that , I like to price a house so that it's there every month for me to do, sometimes I will price a few quid higher and then ask are you happy with that and usually they are

 

[Jake]

£40 is embarrassingly high for most it seems... but great if you can get it!

 

[Dave B]

Around tolish's way £40 is probably not too bad

 

[Jimroot]

I think they'd run scared from £40, maybe as a quarterly. My biggest house, all they talk about is the money they save here and there...

£480 a year on clean windows isn't going to sit well with a lot of people

 

[TolishAPurd]

The OP didnt say anything about frequency. I mentioned in a previous post somewhere else on the forum that most of my work over the £30 mark is quarterly. And this house is a classic example why. On a quarterly I can get £40 for this any day of the week. But on a monthly like Jim said, its just adds up to too much. By making it a quarterly it is just marginally over what a small council house would pay for a monthly clean over the course of the year. For those that have said 30 on here for monthly its still £360 a year for the homeowner, which I also don't think will sit well with many either. o only 4 visits a year and you are taking well over what I can normally ask for. Get a few like that and you're on to a winner. Working on this principle I have built a 3 monthly round that fits into 2 days, and you wouldnt believe what it brings in for the work involved, it would make the northern monkeys of the forum cry./emoticons/biggrin.png

Now you say it tolish

I thought we were all quoting as regular...

 

[TolishAPurd]

Anyway, who cares where anyone is or what they quote, so long as you are happy with the work you have. I've just taken on 4 people today and here is the price increases they have incurred /emoticons/biggrin.png ...

House 1 had a windy for 20 years, used to be trad but made the switch. £14+inside sliding doors when custy home ........Now £20 +£2 when in :thumbsup:

House 2 has a tradder at the moment that doesnt like to wipe frames and sills. Charges £14 .....I've just upped to £20:thumbsup:

House 3 has been living in the showhome (flagship) of a new build area since june two doors down from one I already do, never had a window cleaner in that time. ......£20 (only got away with it because no one else has tainted her mind with silly cheap figures):thumbsup:

House 4 called the other night and said she had a window cleaner and he was charging her £7 before he upped and left. She gaped when I told her £15, the most she was going to pay was £10. We both said our goodbyes. 2 days later she called and accepted.:thumbsup:

Don't sell yourself short folks. Eventually your round will be full and the decisions you make along the way will dictate whether it is full of gold, or shite. I'd rather have a small quality round than a huge low priced one.

 

[CHWS]

As you say that tolish I no a few window cleaners who have a well established run and quote silly prices in hope they don't get the house as they have too much and end up getting it, so it works out an even better bonus

 

[TolishAPurd]

Now you say it tolish
I thought we were all quoting as regular...

It is regular, 3 monthly comes round quick when you have a full round as I'm sure most on here do. I find that hardly anyone wants to pay over 30quid monthly, so I don't bother. And people in the big houses are usually tight as ****. 3 monthly the windows still stay clean enough to not slow me down, and I'm getting more per visit.

 

[Amazin]

That was 40 for one off job. Btw, I thought this is for traditional cleaners. It seems lot of you are WFP WCs

 

[Taxlossloz]

I think most do both nowadays

Unless your scared of heights or a tightarse

This will open another can of worms. For a one off I would aim for £50/60.

 

[Jimroot]

One off I don't think that's unreasonable as they'll want 99.9% perfection straight off and you don't want to be called back so will need to take that extra time to check everything after

**skrry quoted the wrong post, was supposed to quote the one from the OP that said about it being a one off**

Lol!!!

You left a vital bit of info out there!

That would have saved the thread from going Bezerk over it :rofl:

Then yeah £40 for a one off is fine, if not more like tolish said,

One offs for me now start at £40 no matter what the size
