Why do you care?  Why not just stick in a really good price if it's a one-off and don't worry about it if you don't get the job.

[Smurf]

I like the polished bit and change the light bulb 

If you've got some pics just ask T.S for a price via email is what I would do

Yup. A quick google confirmed it.

Think I'll put a "15% discount compared to any Thomas Sanderson quote" on the website

Ta.

[Smurf]

Sounds like he/she is going to be a right pain in the arse if you get that job so don't forget to add ahole tax too. 

[Tosh]

If I get it I'll get NWH to come along and do the roof for free.

I don't think it works quite like that somehow

Do they replace the conservatory?

[Spruce]

The important word is valet.  We got it wrong by quoting for a conservatory clean.

Interesting that they offer a service to treat the glass from Hydrophillic to hydrophobic. Us windies would like all our glass to be the other way around.
I don't know about you all, but the dirtest windows when we come to clean them are mostly Hydrophobic.

[Smurf]

T.S go out of their way not to look like run of the mill window cleaners too apparently going by what an ex-employee has mentioned in the past.  Their methods are also delibratley a lot different to jo blogs just turning up with a wfp and/or trad gear too as is a hand valet so to command a higher price. The chap also mentioned they have to clamber over awkard conservatory roofs at times as are not allowed to use poles either. it's not unusual for a two man team as they work in pairs to spend all day hand valeting a conservatory.

[NWH]

I'll do the roof outside for free yeah but they will pay me 2 grand for the rest first though eh lol 😉

[NWH]

TBH I wouldn't want to do it complete ball ache if you ask me,I'd much rather earn the same walking round colouring in glass with my brush.

Me too 

[NWH]

Like I've said before they do jobs to a toothbrush standard and I don't like to work like that,I will clean roofs etc to a good standard if needed but I would never want to do it day in day out its painful to do,more money can be earned doing regular window cleaning via WFP. I offer gutter vac facia cleans etc but I'd much rather stay with the Windows,have you seen sandersons work they get up there on a conservatory ladder and go over it like a crime scene good luck to em if I get anyone wanting that doing I'll pass it on to em.

[Smurf]

Most that own a conservatory like myself instead of paying silly money out trying to keeping the roof looking clean would consider putting the cost to a new more fashionable type of insulated roof instead surely?

They would also save a fortune on TS conservatory blinds too as would not need to buy them 

[Dave Willis]

I suggest you get a quote for a 'tiled' roof. I did and the wife said she'd rather pull it down than pay that kind of money.

[Smurf]

You obviously have not had a quote for some TS blinds then

[capn sparkle]

Cleaning away happily today and lady shouts at me!

Her "Excuse me do you clean conservatory roofs"

Me "Yes, where do you live and I'll pop around a give you a quote"

Her " The next road up, but I've just had it professionally cleaned and want to keep it that way but my window cleaner doesn't do roofs"

Me "No probs, can I take some details" grabs phone No. and address and popped round at 5pm

So I saw my 1st ever T.S conservatory clean today - roof 4 x 4 x 4 panels all Pilk 'K' self cleaning glass - nice job for the sum of £780. Apparently they're coming back at the weekend to re-clean the roof. What ever stuff they use to do the job by hand stains / leaves marks if  you let it dry .

Don't get me wrong it's a nice job on a 3 yr old conservatory - I'd have charged about £120 for in n out so the rest is for vaccing the vents and oiling the odd hinge?

Took the job on as a regular customer but didn't have the balls to mention that T.S have scratched all the plastics with some type of scourer - by hand my a***

[Smurf]

I would point the scratches out before you do any work or you might get the blame. That goes for anything else that you are also concernd about just to cover your own arse.

Good point - noted

[sunshine windows]

I have a customer who used Thomas Sanderson to the tune of £700. I was no better a clean than if I'd done it for £60. It's only a small roof. You could still see the weathered patches around the end caps on all the struts.

[Tosh]

Went to see it this afternoon. Put in a price of £750.
