£40 for cleaning the outside of gutters, fascias & soffits is way to cheap for me to even bother getting out of the van for now.

Hope they were dry roasted.I'm still a young un mate..I can cope for nowWas doing 11 hour days for a bag of peanuts at the end of the month when working for "the man"
Na na naI price it on how long it takes cos that is how I price everything
Fair price then cos I have my hourly and daily rate
I know that an 8 hour day makes me 20 notes so when I get the last custys I need I will make 1k a week
fair to me
£40 for doing fascias! I'd charge that just to get my vac out of my trailer!
Gutters will keep everyone busy with the rain coming down just wear one of these [emoji23]

So what's your going rates for cutter outside cleans alone then? I price mine at 3 per metre and 4 for insides. If it's inside and out and fascias I charge 6. Thought I was on right track for this area as it seems to be about the going rate around here. Bearing in mind I use their electric for my gutter vac, otherwise if I had a generator then I'd obv charge more.
So for instance as an example 12 liner metres total front and back job to check/clear the guttering and dowspouts. Then clean the outside of the guttering, fascia & soffit you would charge £72?
When you ask a few basic question on the phone the potential customer says it has a full length conservatory on the back and no back access from the front so you will have to drive back down the street and around the back to get to the back gate. Depends what height your van is though as the entrance to the back car park is under a coach house. The gutters must be full as they overflow and I can see weeds growing out the guttering out the back. Also I can see what looks like a tall plant grown out the downpipe but there is no way to get a ladder up there to sort it out. I've not had the fascias etc cleaned ever so look very dirty. The front is not flat but on quite a bad slope so you may have a problem using ladders. I live just outside of town about 13 miles away and its a 3 storey mid terraced house.
Would you still want to charge just £72?
My point is you just can't go on pricing jobs up on per liner metre alone as there are so many other factors to consider.
By the way that was a real job I did and was a bloody nightmare to do.
