Follow up with a phone call Dave.
Let them know you want the job. If they say too expensive, you say, Did you have a figure in mind?

David, I think you should quote £70.00. It looks a great job to me.
I'd do it for £50.00 though. It's something to get your teeth stuck into without any 'kerfuffle'.
-
I dont have wfp as yet but i would be pricing around £90 to £100 for somethink like this so with wfp should be alot faster. defantly more than £40.00
-
I should add the building is on a dirty corner and there will be a lot of muck to remove on the first clean.
I do the windows on the building to the left every 2 weeks with wfp and have to do a lot of rinsing to get them clean.

Ist clean £60.00 then £30.00 every 2 weeks or £45 every month.
It should take about 20 minutes once you get the glass and frames cleaned.

the windows are georgeon ,the ones with the deep recess bars,so a lot of dirt settles on top of the bars.

David
I do a pub which have georgian windows just like your picture exept the bottom ones which are smaller, when I first started the frames were black when they should have been white, but with a bit of gg3 and couple of times cleaning, I find that it takes me only 20 mintues to clean now and they come up great.
The pub is sited on a very busy main road, so the dirt does collect on the frames quite quickly.

Just to let everyone know i got the contract to clean the windows once a fortnight at the price quoted.
They phoned other window cleaners for quotes.
But no one else got back to them .But they did say they were impressed with my proffesionalism.
YEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brill David. See with every cloud there is a silver lining. All you have to work on now is the harbour problem.

Sarah
PS : NOt a w/c cowboy though - you've got a wfp and nice van ;)
(Tongue in cheek guys - dont get defensive now ) :-*

Just to update you on this job
I cleaned the outside yeaterday in about 1 1/2 hours .
But decided to go over them again which was another 45 mins.
Then i went to pack away when my pole which was resting on the wall swung around and smashed a window pane with the gooseneck.
I could not contact anyone so i taped the hole up.
I got there this morning at 8.00 am to clean up the glass and clean the windows on the inside.
Nobody turned up until 9.00am and i had to explain to a crowd of 20 workers what had happened.
I cleared all the glass and cleaned the inside windows in about 4 hours making sure the windows were 100% top notch.
I got in touch with a glazier and he is going to repair the window for about £25.00 so not to bad.
The boss was well impressed with the results of the windows and the way i was there to tidy up and organised the repair.
Gave him my invoice for £150 and shook hands and negotiated a 2 weekly clean at £60 just for the exterior.
I blame my bad luck on that hoodoo letter Sarah sent me .please no more Sarah.
I have never smashed a pane of glass in my 8 years as a window cleaner.

Whats a hoodoo?
David, all those years & not smashed any? Ah well, S**t happens sometimes. Still, at least your window pane smashing only cost you £25. Customer wants you back too, so you must have been good.
-
Your wish is my command - I feel guilty now :'( I assume from your bad luck you did not pass it on to get some good luck ;)
On a more positive note the additional £1560 he just committed to is a bit of Good Luck. ;)
Well done David - heres to many more contracts like that one for you (without the broken window, of course).
