Hope you dont take this the wrong way mick, but considering you've been going 10 years, do you need to ask what others would charge to give you reasurrance...?
Or is this another opportunity to let everyone know how much more expensive you are...?

Sometimes I find the need to post things on here, not for the reason you're implying, but for some reassurance, a check-up to ensure I'm inline so to speak. I'm sure we can all have a tendency to start to over egg the price and maybe get a gut feeling were beginning to over-step the mark, I do. There's Nought wrong with asking, I think they're very useful and amongst other things help me to realize how fortunate I am where I live and what it's like to work in other parts of the country.
It's tedious when u ask and are put down by posts like yours. Stops me posting. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing I'm sure you think. And that's fine. But do it at the peril of the forum losing out because people will stop posting altogether.

Swings and roundabouts, there's decent living to be earned in all parts of the country cleaning windows, I own
a house that most if not all window cleaners living in London could only dream of owning.

Fair enough mate, just surprises me me sometimes when people come across so sure of themselves but then need reasurrance...
I dont know about stops you posting your jobs, you do a pretty good job considering it puts you off but it's fair enough, i stand corrected. Wasn't meant to be a put down post (although i can see why it came across that way) i apologise

I don't seem to remember the last time I posted any images, nothing recent, I just tend to not bother any more. I used to like those posts. Stuart down in Cornwall used to post loads of stuff on here years and years ago, I loved those posts, they inspired me. The last time I mentioned anything of note on here, although no pictures were included was a month ago, and before that well I don't remember, when I picked up a 12K a year job. Is that bragging or celebrating the rewards of your efforts?
I'll leave it up to you to decide, but I know why I posted it, it's up to you what you do with that.
-
I've just apologised and said fair enough...
What more do want, to spoon...?
Obviously peoples intentions when the post stuff like that, and how they may come across can be misinterpreted.
My original post was more a case of surprise that after a long time in the business, people still need the reassurance. Nothing wrong with that, just surprised.
Now lets calm down eh mate, no point twisting knickers
-
Just making my point.
Gissa kiss dickhead ;D
-
;) ;D

i posted it for a bit of fun! Its my best priced front that i do so thought id see if any of you would have charged as much as i went in At for a 5 million terrace house
Which so far noone has guessed correctly. I charge £80 every 2 months but he always gives me £100 2 £50 notes and says keep the change. My fav customer.
Yes its a controlled parking area where i normally do a sunday but today i decided to do them as its a nice day and meant to rain hard 2moz. i have a lot of work there so it never bothers me if i see a warden i either sweet talk them or wait for them to do the off.
-
Nice!
-
If you charged less he could probably afford a better car than a mini.
-
mick do u use a ladder to climb over the balcony

I'm with the donkey on this. I rarely even read the how much posts any more. What reassurance do you want, why do you give a flying monkies what anyone else might charge? If I thought for a second that I might be overcharging, the last thing I'd do is post about it on the internet.
£80 seems like a liberty btw.
-
£80 is a liberty to me..but i doubt its hardly tuppence to some of these
rich southern poofters ;D

Especially if you are just using tap water.
-
Its no liberty when i get a £20 tip each time from home owner as well is it, he is well happy and has been for the last 2 years now.
i have 33 jobs round the area and get good prices off of them all.
It help that its in a conjestion charge area to get too and also helps with the parking restrictions as many window cleaners wouldnt bother trying to get work there especialy having to do them on a sunday like i normally do which is also best to actualy get the homeowners in round there.
No ladder needed richy.

So, do you ask, - like Bateman - because you want to see if you're overcharging..
Or is it another reason?

What the hell is your problem you boring old git?? I dont need to justify myself to you!.
Whats wrong in posting something that doesnt happen every day with getting fronts at that sort of price without the homeowner batting an eyelid??
Its a bit of fun.
-
Chill Mick. It was just a question. If you do it just for fun that's fine, I don't give a toss, I'm not asking you to justify yourself, all I wanted to know was if you were asking (like Bateman said he was) because you were worried you might be overcharging.
You asked how much, I said £10: you told me you get 10x that. Good for you, it doesn't effect me in the slightest.
-
I think in central London any price the customer is willing to pay is ok as there's the nightmare and horrendous cost of parking and the traffic jams.
-

It does if youre pricing structure is faulty. Nothing wrong in asking. See.
Youve convinced us of one thing in less than the ten minutes it took you on the phone before anyway.

Comparing prices near me to those in central London is a bit of a pointless exercise.
If you want to use clean it up to gauge your prices in comparison to others that's fine too.
People don't half get themselves excited.

Hmmm, are you sure it took 10 minutes?
