This house is a chalet style house with a garden office. My leaflets state that a bungalow is normally £18.
Dear Steve,
We have recently moved to a chalet bungalow in East Ilsley and are looking for a window cleaner. We received a leaflet through the door and were hoping that you come to the village and might be able to take a look and let me know how much an 8 weekly clean would cost? We also have a garden office with a window and double doors. If you can let me know when you might be in the area then I can give you the address for you to take a look?
With many thanks and best regards,
Trudi
Hi Trudi,
I am planning a visit tomorrow as I have a first clean to do. I can look at yours then, but if you give me the address & I can find it I should be able to quote by email and clean them tomorrow or early next week.
Best regards,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting back so promptly. We are at ************ East Ilsley, RG20 *****, next door to *******. My husband, Bob, should be at home today so if you want to ring the door bell and give him the quote that would be fine, or you can email me.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Trudi
Hello Trudi,
Actually it’s quite difficult to tell from those details. I’m in East Ilsley on Friday (not today) and will have a look. I’d estimate £25 - £27 8 weekly depending on access. If you are happy with the range I will just schedule it in for tomorrow or just possibly Monday as it’s quite a crammed day with a slight possibility of not getting there. Is there a locked gate or is access straightforward. I can text the day before for access if necessary, but prefer not to in case I get behind and don’t complete all planned work.
I await your reply,
Best,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Sorry. My mistake. Bob should also be at home tomorrow if you were able to take a look? Looking at your leaflet we thought the quote might be in the £18-£20 range? We would like to have the quote before agreeing a date with you depending on your schedule in the area. Would you clean the windows on or around the same date every 8 weeks? The gate isn’t normally locked during the day so access shouldn’t be a problem.
Hope this is o.k.?
Best regards,
Trudi
A bungalow is usually £18, but you have upstairs windows (some of which look very awkward) and an out building with 5 windows + patio doors. It definitely won’t be in the £18-£20 price range. Perhaps best to get another quote for comparison.
Regards,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your email. I didn’t think it was possible to get to the smaller windows at the rear of the outside building due to the overgrown area and the number of nettles present until we can clear these away? I was thinking of just the patio doors and the window on the side. Would just cleaning these affect the quote? I appreciate the two upstairs windows are not easy to get to though. Let me talk with Bob later and I’ll get back to you tomorrow. We have had two other quotes and yours is the best.
Best regards,
Trudi
