sounds about right mate to be honest (pricing wise)

try explaining to the customer that there is prob more glass and pvc on the con than the whole house.

takes longer on some cons than whole houses!

i know some wc that wont do the con at all, daft really but some customers just wont pay it!

we do a service called complete con valet - do about 2 a week.

involves cleaning the roof,all pvc and glass. price from £40 - £150 +

Accept that you wont get everyone (& you wont want them in the longer term)
Price for your needs - for me £10 would be a 3 bed semi & i add £4+  for the conservatory, dependant on size & access & my costs.

use the window sections as a price guide, 50p, and  if they got Patio doors  £2 . Therefore an eight section conserve with doors would be £6. I live in N. Wales which is quite rural but if you live in the city you could slap a little  more on  ;D, but don't underprice yourself ,else you'll hate doing  the job, it's not worth it, better paying jobs will come your way if your  thorough.

just depends.some conservatories on small 3 bedders there is not that many more windows esp if their conny is in front of the patio doors you d be cleaning anyway.there is no way i would get an extra fiver for a conny if its a standard house( £6 say.)

id say £2-£3 on small work and upwards of £5 on bigger ones.


once they ve been cleaned with wfp a few times you ll find they are really easy and fast to clean anyway and just need a quick scrub and rinse on 4 weekly cleans.
