I get just about every one at £15, but even if I didn't that would still be my price. My point is that there will always be some that won't pay, same as some won't buy beef fillet because it is too expensive. But £15 is still the price.
-
Ditto steve ainger in Sth Essex
-
15 pound
-
Yes agreed,i continued around and still quoted £8 for same house and did get some,its just that i am reasonably new to this and its the 1st estate of this type i have priced.
Thanks for replies,i think i probably have it about right,i am up north after all. :)

A 3 bed semi costs £200k miminmum here mate. You try buying one if you are cleaning a house for a fiver. Everything costs mor here which is what needs to be taken into account when pricing jobs.
-
so you must be earning £80 plus per hour then!
;D

;D
I sometimes turn over somewhere near that over a day, but earnings would be nowhere near that over a year as I don't have enough work for a star, but even if I did, it doesn't take into account equipment and van costs, insurance, holidays, pension, sick pay, weather issues and so on.

House prices dictate your price.

You can buy a 3 bed semi for £50k in Bootle where I was born.

£8 a pop, do 20 exactly the same on 1 new build site.
-
£3.75 for 4 weekly .
Are you joking? i hope you do!
-
£12 east Devon
-
Yes up in Ascot.
:o what was you up to?
IT sales. The main house was offices then. Around 1990.
-
at its most is £8 id do
atleast 6 ov them an hour that = £48 an hour
not bad for a windie in my book ;)
-

Except it isn't £48 an hour. It would only be that if you had 6 in a row and you fail to take into account your costs and downtime (holiday, sick pay, weather issues)
-
up in west yorks £6.50.£ ; 8 if your lucky and not a boat load of other windeys snapping at your legs like around my neeck of the woods ;D
-
9/10 on a new estate i'd say, i do council houses in kendal that size for £6, cumbria is hard to price though cos there is so many foreiners from down south who think our prices are cheap , where locals don't lol , ventwise spend as long as you need cleaning them until they are properly clean, it will save time & worry in the long run
dunno about else where but i dont find any difference in the time it takes to do a 1 month or a 2/3 month so i charge the same for all
-
£10.
Prices will obviously fluctuate across the country.
Someone on here recently also said that if you get EVERY job you quote for you're too cheap.
I used to get a bit despondent if people said I was too expensive but long as you get more yesses than no's you know you're about right.
As for people charging what would appear to be a lot more, something is only worth what someone will pay, if you can get £50 for a one off clean-all credit to you. We all would if we could.
-
You can't just say a 2 bed semi £20 that's ridiculous, you have to price for what you see which is between £6-£10 the latter if only job on site, I could clean this in 5 minis people,are getting the prices they say I may be best going national and starting branches all over therenismso much work I could get!

Let's say windy A lives in Sunderland. His house cost him £40,000 and he is paying £200 per month mortgage. Windy B lives in Redhill. His house cost him £220,000. His mortgage costs him £1,000 per month. Now who is likely to need to earn more to meet his living costs? Who is likely to have to pay more for EVERYTHing that is labour based? So the WC in Redhill pays more for his car servicing, his plumbing, vegetables, meat.... EVERYTHING. If he charged what the Sunderland WC charged he would need to work 10 hours a day 6 days a week, but even then he would probably not earn enough. He would need to resort to petty theft to survive.
So those that shout "rip off" are making themselves look silly.

£10 for me in the south

Well said Steve, we are talking within a hour from London and very very prosperous suburbs.

I work in Middlesbrough and if I tried to charge 15 or 20 for a house that size I'd get told where to go 8 for 10 min work is not bad at the end of the day.
-
I get £11.50/12.00 these in Basingstoke.I will be coming to canvas in Viginiawater soon. I want some cream.
-
So you live in the south can charge £4 a window? You think £120 a hour is realistic?? A house that size is Jo more than £10 no matter were you live but maybe if you live in these areas you wouldn't find a house of this statute.
I clean a house in hale swimming pool ect proberly worth 2 million so do I charge them £200?? No I charge £60 has that's fair it take 40 min from what people are saying the house I clean some u would charge £200-£250 haha
Now at these prices the company makes good money I have a nice house q7 ect ect so I don't see they point some are making how they justify there price, if they can get it great but one day one of these companies up north just might tap into a market were they can charge 4x less and still earning very very good money!
-

And that is a fair price for Baingstoke. So what? In all honesty You would only get the same in Virginia Water because yo would take your Basingstoke pricing with you. So you would be earning less per hour. If you are happy to earn less you should fill your boots.

No Ron the question is what would you charge for that house. Yes those house are not the run of the round when working domestic but are a few miles away and we do them and charge accordingly.

My house in liverpool cost me 230k. You said I could buy a whole street in liverpool for £300. Who. Looks silly now :)
-
I can honestly say that id charge£10 front or £15 f+b. i pick up this type of work every week from canvassing. Its down to having the balls to have a min price and sticking to it. I touch nothing less than £10 these days as i know im worth £2.50 a week to keep the customers happy not because im selfish or nieve, just because i can. £2.50-£3 a week to keep there windows clean and house looking well maintained with frames and seals all looking bish bosh is peanuts. I do 1 bed flats and still get £15 f+b. have a price and stick to it.
