thanks guys.  There are about 180 of them over 3 floors.  Was thinking hypo and jet wash floor 1 and 2 and just paint it on with a paint brush.  Floor 3 just hypo, rinse off and then biocide.  I know a stone sill is not part of the window clean but its the sill and they have asked for a quote.  Gardener has also quoted but not sure what they would do.  Will make it worth my while or there is no point.  Thanks for advice.  Will look at patio cleaner and see if it is better than hypo as an option.  Anyone mixed hypo with anything else to make it really sticky other than sufatant? 

im in southbourne west sussex , your basingstoke aren,t you?

I will have it mate , if its not already gone ?

Do you guys have a minimum price for pw ?

I've decided on £100. I've had a couple of enquirys for small areas that might take only half an hour but when you include setting up and packing away call it an hour but it just doest seem worth it to get the machine out for less.

Also do you offer different levels of service ?

For example i find a lot of people assume it's just a quick blast over with a pressure washer like they would do with a karcher so they are of the mindset it's a 30 or 50 quid job. Thinking of saying I can either give it a quick blast with the pw for x amount or and accept it will be cleaner but not perfect or I can do it properly and treat with hypo or biocide etc and charge more.

Some of the before and after pics I see on fb still covered in black spot yet people are saying it looks great has me thinking maybe by offering a premium price and a premium service you are missing out on a part of the market that just don't see the value....

Just clean it as best you can.

I always tell the customer the black spot might not come off, I’ve never had an issue.

If they want it softwshed then that’s a lot more £££

Windows this morning and sanding a PW job this afternoon. Its not about money but about variety. Cleaning windows all the time would drive me mad. I laid a nice patio on Friday and have another one to do for same customer. I like half days window cleaning and home for lunch and then out to an add-on. Summer months are busy and this year has been the busiest so I have decided to save for new van which gives me something to aim for. This type of business plan makes me a happy camper and I look forward to getting out of bed in the morning. That's what we should all aim for. Love what you do and you will never work another day in your life.
