okay i know this is gonna turn into a heated topic but im just interested basicly in who charges more for 1st floor and even more for 2nd floor windows?
-
I just charge according to time and type rather than a formula for different windows.

thanks steve

Think of a number

look at customer

will they go for it?

Good advice Vince. Know your customer!
Some will swallow an inflated price for a first clean even if they don't look dirty in the first place, others will refuse to pay extra, even if there are trees growing out of the windows.
If I think they're going to be a long term, reliable customer I don't charge any more, unless the frames are in a bed condition.

hahaaa ;D i used to do that method pricing per time involved but for about the last 6 months ive been getting into the whole per unit method of pricing and im actually enjoying it this way, also i think it look more profesional when i go round the property writing stuff down 8) and when the figure comes to say £13 they tend to argue less becuase it looks like a fixed price not guess work! thank mate ;)

i have set rates for types of houses.
if its an unusual one then its a guesstimate
-
All very well having set prices if there are no extended properties in the area, but this is very rare in Swindon. I could do 5 houses in one street, all with different style windows and different porches and it seems to be the capital of conservatories here with it think 1 in 4 properties having one. All of these vary in size too.

so you dont price per unit? so if a 3 bed semi has say, 8 windows/doors and next doors has 10, is it the same price? thanks

agreed, same here to mate!

So, anyway, who charges more for a 1st floor window than a ground floor window? and who charges more for a 2nd floor window again?
-
a simple pound a window works fine.
-
if say a 4 bed detatched has an extension then its not standard so will be priced extra for the extension.
a 3 bed semi only changes price if it has those massive bay windows. if its 8 or 10 windows its the same price as those extra 2 windows take no time to clean.
my theory is partly on the house and partly on how long it takes me to clean
-
We have set prices and if there is anything extra like cons etc or difficult windows we charge a little more!! :D
