Post by: Ben wood on October 27, 2012, 05:25:03 pm
I live in the south and this is my pricing for every month


2 bed house 12.00
3 bed house 14.00
4 bed house 16.00

 Prob the same for bungalows too

2 quid for a cony is too cheap. As for you house prices if only that simple.

Andy remember i am 4 weekly your prices are for 8 weekly. And £2.00 for a conny is cheap and that is for a normal conny that takes 5 mins to do. The problem i have round here is there are a lot of tradders charging £6.00 for a 3 bed house.

Do your customers mind them being cleaned every 8 weeks at those prices? i was thinking of doing the same changing to either 6 weekly cleans or 8 weekly and charging more for them.

More per clean obv would need more customers per month or year but on very good rates.

Covering that area you have to charge more to cover the travelling time.

I charge much more than you, but as an average your charging about right to hit a good hourly rate.

or perhaps they only need to clean 3 days a week and have a life outside of window cleaning ?

work smarter not harder as the old BT ad's used to say.....

From the outset when I setup I purposely offered 8 weekly as standard as I felt I would be able to charge more...

There was obviously more legwork involved, but worth it in the end I think.

This  is how i want to take new customers on doing the same andy, however not sure if they would go with it. It still works pretty reasonable in my eyes as its every 8 weeks per clean

Is your pricing too high?

No.

You should price as high as people are willing to pay.
