Please don't take this the wrong way but as an experienced window cleaner why do you feel the need to ask others for prices.

Are you insecure about pricing or do you just want to show your latest conquest.

Their are those that will post ridiculously high prices and others with low prices.

It is your job, price it how you see fit. ::)roll

Go on then...£300-350 squid. I am guessing they are original georgian windows and they want the...(whole place) looking top notch.

South prices

£3:50 top windows
£2:50 mids
£1:50 bottoms

£2:50 mtr on gutters

Add 15 to 20% extra for a first or one off clean.

If it's an usual job then that may affect the price!
You obviously don't want to share that with us so how can we help you price it!
Also we don't know where it is in country...?
whether those windows are old painted crap or upvc...?
whether the soffits etc are plastic or wood...?
what kind of cars are sitting on the drive...
blah, blah, blah.
Sorry...numpty!

What happened was, I got a phone call today from abroad.  At first I thought it was one of those poxy scam calls about website SEO or computer viruses.

Anyway eventually a woman comes on the line and starts off spouting about a property they own which they need cleaning in the UK. They're out the country at the mo and will be until mid May but need it done urgently. It's about 45 miles away.

So we talk and she agrees to send a pic if she can find one and clarify what they want doing.

I take a look at the email once it comes through but my main condition is that we're paid before we do the work.

I phone her once I've considered my price and offer it to her as well as a price for insides and a regular outside price.

She agrees and has just paid my full asking price for an external window and external gutter and fascia clean. None of you have come close to what I asked for, nowhere near. And I'm not saying what the figure is but she was impressed with the website and that's what sold it.

They also agreed to our regular outside price and our insides price.

Believe in yourself and go for what you want. Don't ask - don't get.  8)

No - I hadn't already got it in the bag when I first posted. I have given you an idea of the price, re-read the thread dip-stick.

Title: Re: How much
Post by: Tom-01 on April 24, 2014, 12:19:41 am
But you were never going to tell us your price anyway so what's the point? It's just a house that needs cleaning and you got the job.

Why would it take long to clean Wed clean all the windows inside & out plus give the facias and guttering a good clean with the pole. This would take to of us around 3 hours max !!!! I'd if prices that around £150 for facia and guttering, £90 for outs and £90 for insides as a one off. You can't price as a one off as you got it on a regular bases !!!

All the best with it and good luck  ;D
