PRICE ON GUTTERING
« on: January 31, 2006, 09:08:46 pm »
How many of you domestic cleaners double up as a gutter cleaner and how much do you charge.

Currently i'm charging £20 per side of the house for a gutter clean unless it's either ridiculously large or small then maybe a £5 either way.

I also wipe over gutter after clearing and clean all the surrounding upvc unless it's a wooden board of course

Just trying to find out if i'm too cheap or expensive for my own good

Many thanks

I usually charge between £25 - £30 per side.

This includes cleaning out gutter, Cleaning outside of gutter and cleaning the fascia.

When we do guttering we actually dont take to long, i clear out all the leaves and god knows what run a bucket of warter threw it just to make sure jobs done, and charger 20 for the house. never had a complaint and its £20 for 10 mins work.
Dont argue with a retard, they will just pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.

used to charge £40.00 per house (average 3 bed) but then found out lots were charging £80.00 plus!!
now start at £60.00 including soffits and fascias (wfp) and customers never quibble and often say how reasonably priced i am!
really good way of boosting the days takings
