Depends on area in country, depends on condition and how much guttering easy way to work out if it's worth it, work out how much u want to earn an hour then ask how long will this job take

Well the customer bit my hand off with the price,so naturally i then thought that i had priced 2 low.should take me about 3 hours,if so 25 per hour is a good wage,thanks for the comments boys.

It is where I live.
Getting a mortgage for that much might be tricky, though.

It's only by doing what you've done that you can gauge future jobs of a similar ilk and price them properly.

I doubt there's a window cleaner on this forum that has never undercharged for a job and suffered really badly because of it.  I think David_of_St_Ivel once walked away from some builder's cleans he'd undercharged; just naffed off!!!  If it was him (I'm not totally sure), this was some years ago.

And occasionally, I still undercharge and suffer for it.  >:(

Depends what's on the end of the terrace - gutter and soffit? Just barge boards? Or Just a gable end with no work to be done.

If it's a gutter and soffit I would say £90 - if just barge boards £75 and if nothing £60. Anything up to moderately dirty.
