Why is anyone talking about quoting for the front ? Do people actually have just fronts cleaned and not the whole house ?? I've never known that in 20 yearsid say 8-10 front where i live. if back was similar id be very happy with £20

I thought so, can't see to well on this notebook.The bars look like they're inside the glass TAP.
I've had it quite a few times. I've always managed to turn it into a full house clean once I explain that most of my fee is just the turning up, i.e not half price. Only exception in the tight old terraces where I am happy to just do the fronts as it saves me fkin about walking all the way round with a ladder.Why is anyone talking about quoting for the front ?

Totally agree when you knock door ten min later and there handing over 25 lolYeah that's right Evie!
Sometimes I go slower cos I feel embarrassed at how fast it is!
I love it when customers are out, then I fly round with no worries !
Tolish Ye if can get 40 then of course I'd be happyI could easily get £40 for that house. The pole guys around here charge the same as me and they can do it quicker. So why someone would invest all that money in the gear and then drop their rate to suit beats me. If you can't charge good money and walk away smiling on a house like that then you really are mugging yourself off. I'd rather do a couple of council houses with the kind of folk that offer you a cuppa then (potential) arsehole that lives in a house like that.
But if you can get 40, then why is 25 enough? And if I had another tradder working with me we could easily bang out 4 of those in an hour (if they were side by side, no chatting to custy, and all the other things in the real world that slow us down). Except we would walk away with £160 because I have quoted it properly. I have houses half that size that I charge 25 for.Totally agree when you knock door ten min later and there handing over 25 lol

But if I quoted really would be happy with a max of 25 I mean I no for fact me and lad could do 4 of them a hour so 100 a hour on houses like that is hardly pocket change
yeah don't be nice, stay firm and charge a price that is reasonable and you're happy with. I'm still shocked how little some WC charges. Got a phone call not too long ago telling me Im charging too much and he found a wc that only charges £4 for the front of a 3 bedroom house. About a Month later I drove past his house and its still dirty. what a surprise! people also don't seem to realise that if the quote is too cheap, it is also easy for the WC to dump them or move onto better paying customers.looks like a nice job from the front anyhow. easy access all around to walk your pole.i just take it for granted that people who live in houses like this can afford to pay a good price.allthough they can also be the tightest and smartest at trying to get a low price .watch out for the line.."the last window cleaner only charged us etc".stick to a price you are happy with!! i am always surprised how cheap some guys are and how expensive some are.my attitude is a fair days pay for a fair days work. i learnt the hard way for ages i underpriced work scared of not getting the job and trying to be nice.i learnt many people will take advantage of you if they can .all the best with it.
I think its because I'm based in London and the terraced houses will be impossible to clean the back windows without someone being in the house. The back windows doesn't get dirty as quick so its understandable.Why is anyone talking about quoting for the front ? Do people actually have just fronts cleaned and not the whole house ??
