Instead of boo hoo. I prefer.
WAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAA
£30 for 30 mins work.. Can't complain at that..
Charge extortionate prices then expect to be undercut, then come on here and cry someone doley undercut me boo hoo
Around 40-50
I'm the same,I work hard and I let the others in my area fight over the low cost work.there is a new window firm with four vans and they go so cheap but quite often they lose work and their clients phone me up and get more for the job because I provide a better service and want a decent living.I may come across expensive and anal at times regarding pricing but I count myself being very lucky in the area where I work.
Agreed.^^^ WUM
Going by that picture and assuming the window/frames are good, I cant see how that would take any longer than 30 minutes from pulling up to diving off (including handing in the invoice & getting paid from the petty cash tin)Been asked to do this, as its my first commercial job i have no idea how much to say.
Want it doing on a 4 week basis, will be using wfp
Wfp: both poles & brushes have both speeded window cleaning. Current equipment has got even better. Consider that there are nearly 5 million businesses in the UK and the majority is small business & self employed. Pricing has become more competitive. Just stay at the top of your game and you have little to worry about.Since coming on this forum I've learned a bit of some quality people like yourself.
But it's also opened my eyes to what's going on around the country in window cleaning and how cut throat it is.
Someone mentioned expense,well most of the time companies and customers do want the best but also value for money.like I said not going to quote on prices but £25 that's a joke.
Oh and window cleaning both traditional and wfp is a skill and not just about earning a few quid.
All I can say is the trade is only going to get worse if people quoting those prices in commercial.i know for a fact that I've done jobs for my old firm years ago and they charged at least £100 and we would get a good couple of hours if not 3 hours to do it in ,that was several years ago what is going on.
Exactly Peter, it’s about offering the customers a better service/product coupled with a competitive price. People start to panic when they fall behind the times, and we can all be undercut – you can do nothing about that – but you can take pleasure in the fact that they aren’t making any money. (they think they are) :Image13:£30 for 30 mins work.. Can't complain at that..

Forget it/stop thinking about the window cleaner who you think can do it for £10, concentrate more on the window cleaners who will go in with a quote 3 time or more than what you are thinking of charging H – Now just increase your prices to win the work & and raise your profit margins.Am not cheap at all cos that building i would do for 15 quid... someone else thats wfp in my area would probs do that for 10 quid.... to be honest
am not cheap or expensive
am fairly priced..... It depends what area your in for window cleaning prices.... if i was in your area id probs charge a lot more... but in my area am fairly priced
Look at taxis... their cheap some places and expensive some places.... to travel 3 mile in my town it costs 2.50 in london i guess that would cost a lot more
it all depends on what area u live in so end off
it not only taxis either... a haircut is expensive some places and cheap the other.
Thanks for the advice Richard.been traditional for years and wfp for more than 10 but always learning on pricing up commercial work.been self employed for nearly 4 years and if I don't get the job I do not worry.one thing is for sure,am always at the top of my game and do not worry and laying the foundations to build a large cleaning firm one day.just enjoying building the work up nicely and not rushing into expanding.been doing this since a boy but since being on this forum it's shocked me slightly.Wfp: both poles & brushes have both speeded window cleaning.
