Close , the price of the last cleaner was £22 ???

 I thought it a bit strange as the last wc's are a big company down here , and i just couldnt see them doing it for that ammount .
 
 What do you reckon , should i take it on for the £22 ?

You don't say if you are using WFP or not.  Sometimes windows that open that way can be a right pain with WFP as you can't close them if the customer is out.  Also, with some windows of that type, they can be prone to running from the top section to the bottom section of the window as there may not be "drip" grooves (such as those usually found under windowsills).  Also, how is the access to the balconies?
I was thinking around £35 but I'm in the southeast and prices may be generally a bit lower in the southwest. If they are troublesome windows, you could even justify £40.  However, if she's as good a customer as you say, I'm sure it would be possible to discount a bit.

I would have said £40. Probably another £5 if she wants the glass porch doing both sides. What happened to the other wc's for £22? I bet they just stopped coming.

Rich £25.00 sounds ok. I wouldnt mind 8 of them a day (got the drift)

After 2 or 3 cleans you will know if you have got it right.

I'd only get away with charging £20 for that.  Mind you if shes a good customer then usually they'll not mind paying a little extra to know you'll do a good job

You could always put it up if it takes too long after a few cleans.

I would have to charge £30 for that one. But like you say, if she's constantly putting more work your way then you could let her have it done for a few quid less
