Post by: Scott92 on January 20, 2014, 02:33:18 pm
Hi Guys,

Priced one of the attached houses at £16 including high window's at either side of the house if you can see them.

Also, the back is the same as front pretty much.

Lady reckons someone has quoted her £12..

Am I over pricing?

Cheers!

I'd've gone in at £15.
£12 is a good price for the customer.
You'd've still made money at £12 though.

Yes, but if someone said they wanted it 4 weekly it would still be £20. I offer automatically 8 weekly.

No way £12 i just quoted one half the size of that, no side windows every 8 weeks and £14.

£16 is bang on.

Windows looked to be stacked as well, so you will need the top row to drain a bit at least.

You dont have too. Its to reduce chances of spotting.

Your price is good (I used to live in Wickford and Colchester) but you need to sell yourself, i.e. you clean windows, sills, frames, front door, back door etc, sell it to them!!!

never have a problem with spotting on these type of windows.  all u have to do is clean the frames and glass then rinse frames and glass come up perfect every time

I see you're in Essex so I would have thought you could command slightly higher prices than a lot of other areas.

I would price that at £20 monthly or £25 every 2 months.

If the monthly is a bit steep for the customer and they choose 2 monthly, you're on to a winner.

£20 all day long

My price would be, £18 @ 4 weekly or £22 @ 8 weekly. I'm in the east midlands. our service included, glass, frames, cills and Al doors (excluding garage door which is an optional extra at £1 per garage)

All the best

There's Essex & Essex bud.
There's a massive difference between Chigwell & Grays for instance.
Not everywhere down South is a money pit.
And wages are higher but so is the cost of living.
It's all relative.
(Not a + or - north/South thing, just observation)

I would say £16 id more than fair!! in fact I would say £18-£20 for that! some people just never want to pay more than the last but I always question if the last one was so good and you liked his price why haven't you still got him? A) either shes underpriced and he didnt want to tell her so dropped or bad customer B) she didnt think he did a good job!!
