For those of you who do inside windows and outs - do you simply charge double?
-
yes. simple as that unless it takes lots of time removing items of the sills, but most people move everything out of the way

I would only charge double if its a regular inside clean, if a one-off it would be double what the outside is
-
i have a bungalow that has the insides done every other month normally i charge £10 for the outside
£22 for inside and out
-
When you say charge double I presume you mean £10 outside + £20 inside = £30.
If so then yes. If you mean outside + inside = double outside £20 then no too cheap.
I sometimes offer a special of 1.5 x outside cost, so the above example would be £25.

I always add on a little extra to clean insides... For example if I cleaned a £30 (outside price) house inside I would charge £40 for the insides, plus the £30 for outside.
I always ask them to clear window sills before I get there.

I usually charge 1.5 for inside.
i.e £10 outside then £15 inside.
I have a few that i charged the same for in/out but this was when i first started, i wish i had charged more :(
been doing em so long now i feel akward putting price up 50% for inside.
It's 2 custy's who have inside done about twice a year.
I keep thinkinking of offering inside cleans on bad weather days only :-\

Thanks for the replies and answers.
Do you clean the insides every month?
-
no, if i did do reg inside i may adjust price.
but i think 1.5 times for inside is good, don't get involved with secondary glazing or if you do price high.
in the past i have had in/out custy's every time but they end u being a pain.
They wanta bespoke service but don't want to pay any extra.
And they always seem to have beige carpets (stay away from the beige carpet brigade :D)
-
i refuse inside work on domestics as its too much hassle unless they pay double the outside price.most dont want it done when i say itll be double the outsides!! :D :D
never liked doing inside work.ive usually got plenty of outside work to be cracking on with!also in theory you could get accused of stealing something(it happens!)if your inside someones house.

I have a few regular in/out customers. They pay for the privilege.

I have been canvassing (market researching) to see if there is enough work available - so as well as cleaning windows with WFP, I have been asking about conny cleans, gutter cleans, inside outs etc.
Its just inside outs appear to be quite popular (i dont think my competitors have offered this)- I think I have a better chance of securing a regular 4 weekly clean if I also offer a quarterly inside clean also.
I have quoted double the price and not had any rejections - but obviously insides will be tard cleaning not WFP - so I am thinking I should charge slightly more.
I am out again on friday - so if I get a chance/opportunity I will try 1.5 times the price of the outside. I am not looking to rip off customers, but to get a fair price. I will let you know how I get on.
And again, thanks for your honest answers

I think charging 1.5 for insides is about right and thats what i charge. If there is one you really dont fancy doing quote double or more for it.

i charge the same for ins as outs . but they must have the clutter cleared off the sills first .
