I've done a number of gutter cleans this year and set my prices at £18 per side cleaned on all my properties.. Can anyone tell me if this is to low or to high???
Reason being I've just noticed on guttercleaningsystems site his price card on the business info page and can't work out the rates.

Cleaning the outside of plastics ,No. But windows will need a clean due to spray on the windows. I have always cleaned the windows after and charged extra for doing so,agreed price on quote.

WOW no wonder I hate cleaning gutters! As a trad cleaner, I've got my own routine on how to clear and clean the gutters and soffits but as you can imagine, it takes me a long time. As I have plenty of work anyway, I'll only do the gutters for my regular customers but because of this, I don't feel comfortable in charging the prices you guys do (or indeed the prices I SHOULD be charging for the time and work put in - the gutters always, always come up really well, apart from the painted gutters: why would people paint their PVC gutters....) and therefore I'm left with a good job done, and the bare minimum charged, often £12-£15 per side, and we're talking terrace, semi, detached. A lot of work, not very much pay, puts me right off!
Sadly I damaged a lower back muscle at the end of May, and after nearly 3 months off I'm back at work but VERY slow while I build my strength back up, so have had to say no more gutter work until I've caught up with the window cleaning - I've very understanding custys thankfully.
Thanks very much for the advice here, it's been of great use to me and hopefully I'll be able to offer it again next year.

still charged her full rate for my inconvenience ;D

£25 clear and clean per strip on small terraces. £30-£40 per strip on larger properties.
I tend to do the lower strips a bit cheaper as they are much easier to clean after being cleared out.
