Sorry I meant £20 for the one barge board(and how crazy it is for people to take offence at £20 for a full 6 bedroomed house)....Conny roof is £90 ??A conny roof at £20 that does sound very very cheap. Surely that takes more than 30 mins pulling up to pulling away? Not to mention a bit for chemicals. Don't sell yourself too cheap. Work smarter not harder. Maybe start pricing things based on £40 an hour and see how you go. I realise you are comparing to what you used to do but you have to remember you used to get what 22 days paid holiday a year and sick pay and didn't have to pay for your van or equipment, fuel, insurance etc....
£10 for 10mins work is good but anyone thinking a job is only worth £10 is thinking way too low. It's not just your time they are paying for it's your equipment and skill as well. Could the nice couple have done the job themselves? No so it's your equipment and skill they are paying for.
Sounds like you could up your earnings by a decent amount just by upping your prices a bit. No need to be greedy but time each job as if it were the only 1 in the street not 'its only £15 as I am already in the street'. If you can compact your round you should earn more not give custys cheaper cleaning!! You are in business to earn money.
All that said you are doing well after 7 months and if you are happy then no problems but would a few more ££ in the bank make you more content????
