Pricing please help

Last statement makes you think! Pretty sure 30-40% of mine are now underpriced. When you’ve had a round for 25 years, same customers, you tend to justify not hiking the costs every year just to make sure they stay loyal. That’s probably not a good business model though, I admit.

Ye deffo although your tredding on thin ice on desolating a good compact round and Ive found that a good paying round although maybe slightly underpriced always beats a spread out good priced round. I had an argument on here years ago with someone and he said hike your prices cos even if lose 50% you’ll still be in profit. I decided to go against his advice and make strategic prices rises whist keeping the integrity of my round. Stack em high and sell em cheap??
Who’s the winner now mr green?

Round here I wouldn’t do this front and back for any less than £15 minimum
South is higher prices definitely

I'm in the essex area and I charge £20/25 Depending on access

Unfortunately there is a lot involved with pricing.
There was a formula put in up on the forums recently pricing per window, french door, bathroom window and front door for a 3 bed semi.
For houses on our estate, the price per clean would work out to £17 using that formula.

There is no way i would get £17 for a clean. Currently I'm between £10 and £11 which is a similar price other cleaners are charging.

One of the cleaners working the estate raised his price from £12 to £15 and his customer cancelled. His customer told me he felt £12 was the very limit of what he would pay for his windows to be cleaned.

Now £17 would probably not be enough for a clean in the South. So pricing is very much dictated by area and region. There still areas not far from where we live where cleaners are charging £5 for a 3 bed semi.

We also haven't taken into consideration that obstacles like locked gates add the cleaning times. No 2 houses on the same estate are the same even although they are identi

I'd price one of those at £12 and be lucky to get it, but that style of house up here ex council lads are doing them for £8 so I won't even entertain quoting a job like that I avoid those estates like the plague

pricing is all dependent on area,customers and frequency also a house is only worth what it’s worth and you’ll reach that max amount at some point
