I have one job where i charge £95 to clean the windows of a big house in a very expensive area of hertfordshire. All the windows are leaded and I also clean the windows on the pool house aswell. This includes the frames. Takes me about 4 or 5 hours.
i have one house on my round that is worth £11
, I think they are just concerned about someone they don't know working at there £2m+ house.
These houses are usually out in the countryside or in the wealthy villages surounding most major towns.They are for the most the type of account you will pick up by recommendation...they will come to you.You also need the balls to slap in a big price too.If you are a newbie just learning the craft then you are going to be stepping way outside your comfort zone going for these accounts.I don't personally have a domestic account over £55 (outside clean) although I did do a one off I charged over £120 for.These bigger accounts are fantastic money if you are WFP (providing you have priced them for doing it the trad way)The danger is that if you are a newbie who has virtually gone straight into WFP then the odds are you will underprice these by a mile Possibly by as much as 70% if its a big georgian house.You'll be so cheap they'll ask you to do the insides, then you will need to quadruple your price to break even, in fact, if you have no experience (or very little) in trad cleaning. on a georgian house you will not stand a chance of breaking even, it'll be a nightmare account.There are plenty of them out there at present though, but you really do need to be experienced to get them.Ian
they can only afford to have it done 3 times a year!
