got 2 calls about conservatory roof cleans ,quoted £35 qiud . both said how much thats expensive.the connys wernt small and the distance to each job was a couple of miles .so i just said i leave it with you.these roofs are minging.
-
Dave stick with it mate thats what i charge and we both know thats a very fair price
-
Seems cheap to me... depending how dirty they are.
-
ive done a few connys in my time ive found that if you charge owt over 40 quid or so people tend not to bother or at least they do up here ,people are not bothred that it costs you to get there etc imo.
-
I think that's a good price too.

Lost count on roof quotes this week.
Some think £80 is bargain, others think £30 is a rip off.
I quote what i want to be paid.
I always sell it as
"you aint had the roof cleaned in 10 years, and all i want is £80!"
How much was this conservatory? Works most of the time ;)
-
may try something along the lines of its a small amount to help protect your investment ;D ;D
-
the average conny roof takes between 60 mins and 90 mins in my experience so why would you only charge £35? ::)roll
£50- £60 min i charge.
they are harder work than normal routine window cleaning too.these prices are for regular window cleaning customers.
one offs start at £80.

In my experience and i have been wfp a fair few years ;) i can do a small roof in about 35 mins if it was a minger i would charge more but still prob only £50 But tbh its futile talking pound notes without knowing the size and condition of the roof.

yeh i know. im happy with what i charge.
Dazmond you've changed, your starting to believe all the forum hype ;D
-
I will clean a small roof, and I mean not much more than a lean to, for £40, but a normal conservatory starts at £60. I can't remember the last time anyone said no. But if they did, then I would just shrug. I can only just keep up with work anyway.

Ahhhhhh then i retract the previous statement!!
I thought you meant window cleans!! ;D ;D
-
im starting to think it may be where abouts you are is that niaive
-
i would charge £50 min depending on size , also explain thats its a half day job min. knowing full well that its not but the client gets in there mind value for money .
-
CLEANCARE when you work for yourself there is only so much work you can get through in a month as you know.
i dont care whether i get the work or not to be honest as i have plenty to keep me going.loads of regular customers have had their roofs cleaned or f/s/g cleans at £50-£60 a pop in the last few years.
i have a few booked in this month.one of em £20 windows,£30 solar panels,£50 f/s/g clean.so £100 for 2 hours work.im happy with that.
30 mins windows
30 mins solar panels
60 mins f/s/g clean
IMO its a premium add on service to complement my maintenance window cleaning.i think im at the lower end of pricing for these jobs compared some guys.

Surly they would then feel cheated if you've planted the half a days work in their head for you to complete the job in say, 2 hours.
I try never to give a time of how long the job will take as it lets people think your earning a fortune hourly.

But it is half a days work Tony.
If you are on the glass 2 hours you then have to drive there, set up and pack away and take at least some thing extra such as detergent or stiffer brush. You always have to do the sides as well.
Add to that it's always harder work than w/c and so it feels like more!
In my book that 2 hours becomes three in total and I only work 6 hours a day generally! ;D
I have just made a decision to charge properly for conny roofs.
Except for the smallest of lean-to's I reckon £50 is a starting point for an existing customer and £75 for a non-existing.
Any sign of "green algae" and it's more.
-
id be gutted to only get £25 an hour for an add on job these days.
i agree with you about not telling customers how long it takes.they dont need to know.as long as the job is a good un and the customer is happy thats all that counts.
-
GOLD green algae is easy to clean off.soak with pure and virosol and it comes off easily.most add on jobs come from existing customers so no driving to and from jobs therefore cutting down time taken. ;) :)

I know that, you know that.
Pricing with a time is asking for the customer to expect that or to do a couple of windows to make up that time quoted.

Conny roof customers defo fall into one of 2 camps ...
£95 great that's fine when can you do it ??
or
£95 how much ?? ... thought it would be a tenner you only spray your squirty brush over it
so always price it to suit yourself
once priced a FSG at £120 for 3 bed detached bloke went how much blah blah ect ect so let him rant and when he shut up simply asked "have you ever done one?" ... errrr no was the reply so explained equipment costs, shoulder ache, time it takes and how many houses I can window clean in that time ... got the job and has been a great regular for about 18 months now :)

im up in west yorkshire ive just been out this morning to see a job that i got from posting some flyers the other day its just up the road from me,any way gets there it a double conservatory not over big .bit awkward and green so i quoted £60 which i thought was cheap.for the work involved on this job .ill.let you know .yeh right .tight git. the thing is all the white pannels are green as well ,drain pipe etc .but if i get the job i think would expect me to do the rest so i need to re avaluate me thinks
-
Conservatory roof cleans round here are about £140 on average.
-
What's the point in being cheap they don't have them done yearly they just wait until they are bad .
I think £50 should be a starting price this would be for a hour are just over.
-
£140 quid :o where abouts are you? i think i will have to do some canvassing for half the price . ;D
-
£35 isn't nearly enough for a conservatory roof. £50ish for a regular customer - while I'm there. £100+ for a one off. Not many people will pay £100+ for it but if I do it for less than that it's a waste of my time.
My first reaction when people ask for a one off conservatory roof is to refuse. Regular customers only luv. When they tell me they NEED it done I tell them it's £100+ before I have even seen it. If they are happy with that, fine. If not, also fine.
-
One of my cusgomers asked last week to have his roof cleaned. When I told him it would cost extra, immediately his reply was 'don't bother then'! Never even asked to find out bow much lol. We must have the tightest customers here in Leeds, think we're ripping them off at £40. This is why I hate conservatory roofs!
-
All you people saying £35 is not enough im talking a small roof inc cresting and finials, if it was really green then yes i would charge a bit more and larger roofs obviously more.
But what I would like to know is how you can say £35 is not enough,you can say that its too cheap for you, but no one knows what i need to earn but me.
-
Couldn't agree more. I wouldn't even look at a conservatory roof for £35 though. No one knows what I need to earn but me.
-
imo the area denotes the price, up in west yorkshire not the posh end i would be very suprised at any more than 50/60 .unless some up here knows different.any way im happy with what i charge no point in being greedy imo
