I'm thinking of providing a quality service and offering to clean  conservatories for up to £500 a time. This would then enable me to cut my working week conciderably what do you guys think, is it a good business proposition? Would it be enough? Should i go for six hours a week (greedy).

[pjulk]

If you could get £500 i would go for it.

I get good money for conservatories but not that much.
I got one tomorrow just aswell really as they forcast rain.

Thats almost £167p/h.If you live in an area where someone will pay that sort of money then i'm moving near you.

How do you think you will get that amount of money for cleaning one of them.The only way would be to clean all blinds as well but this has to be done by ultra sonic as i have a mate who keeps on at me to start it up he has hillarys blinds on the iow.

JDW i think you have trouble grasping basic concepts, and dont think personally you have the skills required to obtain those sort of prices for conservatory cleans.

But good luck anyway.

Dead simple really you just sell it as a specialised product. When the neighbours see how good i am they will be queing up for my services. You need to forget about charging normal windowcleaners rates and present it as a special service that nobody else can do. I've done it i'm good at it. I have to reduce the number i do a week to avoid vat and supertax. This is why i will probably limit myself to six hours a week.

It doesn't take £500 to clean a conservatory.
No-one's going to pay that, when it's going to look dirty again in 6 months.

I done some in the past that have been very thorough, inside, outside, roof, plastics...etc... and taken a couple of hours, and got £60 or 70 which is not bad money.

No-one's going to pay 8 or 9 times that amount.

[pjulk]

DJW so you are getting £500 a clean now.

If so you advertising yourself just as a conservatory cleaning company.

And what are they getting for there £500 clean.

And to think that you have to have constant work. No way!!

my mate had a business with all the ultrasonic equipment for blinds. don't do it. not much money to be made in it at all. blinds are so cheap now.

[frames to panes]

not all are £500 - some i only get £450 for but then some are much bigger.

[pjulk]

£450 would be nice but for me i am in the south so should get quite a bit for this type of work but i doubt i would get that sort of money.

Or maybe im just selling myself short

[s.hughes]

Never heard of £500 for a cons clean. I just cant see people paying it and if 1 did then it wont be regular work.

[Davo]

How does £100-£250 sound for the same job or wouldnt you work for that sort of money??

Already being done. They are a different company to me though. It's all about how you perceive yourself and selling yourself to the customer. Trust me it works, proper uniform with my logo and i offer them a five star service.

[Davo]

LOL......youve jumped your prices up a bit, good better than the £20 you were previously charging.

 ........i charged £20! Took me ages, then she tells me she pays£30 just to have her hair set!

Looking at the link you have given ,do you offer all the same services?
I have thought of putting alot of effort into conservatories but i feel i can make better money window cleaning without the hassel.I have done my fair share of them inside and out. When you think about it people pay 10k upwards for one so why get away paying a cheap clean price but being real most people have'nt got the money and just get a jet washer out

if you can get that price fair play on you, but I am guessing these will all be one-off jobs, I would do it alongside window cleaning.
