Hi Everyone,

I would not touch them for less than £25 each and that does not include the conservatory either.

That's right mate. ;)

To answer the question, I wouldn't do the one above the door - people understand.

Don't like to back-peddle, but I'd probably say £15 actually.
If you asked £25 around here you wouldn't get. Not a chance.

Expensive area around here but tight people.

Roger is skilled with a squeegie too; very fast.  So I understand his reluctance.
That's right. Don't need the bother for a few extra quid.

Actually Rog
I think exactly the same as you, people are the same round here, but I would still hit them with £25.
If they take it, maybe I'd be wrong, I do drop in price, I tell people I want regular work not one offs, but I would go for the big one first.

WOW ,THIS IS A HOT ONE !
Right , first things first , i did most of them today already , £15 a piece
They took me about 25 ~30 mins each , not bad i think

Paul Griffin , do you use wfp , there is no way anybody would get around those in 15 mins , the roofs are slate so climbing is a big nono .

 Im so confident i will pay the diesel  for anybody to come down and do them in 15 minutes , thats pie in the sky !

David you should be in the housing market , they go for 475K a piece .

 Oh , and if you look closely a lot of the windows are split panes .

with my round being fairly full, i am in a postition to charge a bit more

first house -- 25 quid

second house -- 30 quid

thats if i am in a good mood and the owner doesnt come over all "better than me" because im just a window cleaner, if that happens, then i would add 5 quid on the price

Oh and sometimes if they have a fleet of cars (some expensive) on the drive, it allso gets a "rich tax" of a few quid

im just being honest here ;)

Hi Rich,

Just catching up on last nights postings and suddenly though 16 new houses in one day.  How come ??  Were you canvassing ?

Could it be the new Van  :D

Yes i do use WFP thats why i said 15 mins, There is no way i could get round that fast traditional.
But saying that i could take a bit longer as its hard to tell really unless you are there but i don't think 15 mins is far out with WFP.

SARAH SARILL , I got the houses by complete accident , decided to stop for some dinner in a quiet cul de sac , woman comes up to me and says " Are you a window cleaner " i looked at the side of the van and says " I think so , yes ! "
Any way , she took me on and told me to knock in on the others , i got all but three in the street , but they were out so i reckon i will get them next time .
I was going to up the prices , there was shiney Audis and Porsch and Beemer all over the shop , but hey 16 of those is a good days work , if i want to do them all in a day !
PAUL GRIFFIN , Didnt realise you was on wfp , is your van a TARDIS !
Reckon they could be done quicker , but i dont do running !

Nice one Rich - going from strength to strength - I thought the photos were of two houses  in each (two porches in one photo) and would have said £10 for standard and £15 with conservatory - but £25 would be fair -
 
I go on a lot to the punters about the frames bit and then spend ages on the first clean and they seem to appreciate that this is so unlike trad cleaning - more expensive but good value for their money

Good thing is you got them all together and it is a good earner

Nice point you make about not being greedy - multi dropping is modern slave labour :)

As soon as i open the back it nearly all falls out.

For those i would grab my trolley as it takes longer mucking about with hose's.
I don't hang about unless it's near the end of the week then i slow down abit.


The time's i mentioned would be a regular clean though doubt i would manage that time on a first clean.

After the first clean though anyone with WFP should manage to do them in 15 minutes.

Most of my work are those sort of house's and have them fine tuned.

Rich,  a  bit of luck like that doesn't happen often - enjoy.

Thought you may have found a new magical canvassing method with hugh returns  ;D
