Seems a fair price assuming it takes no more than 1.5 hours which it definitely shouldn’t.

I’d want paying up front for any first clean / one off, no exceptions.

It’s a bit top heavy but if you mint it up so it looks like new then the clients will happily pay it.
I always wipe down the guttering on the conservatory so it’s all’s done

That conny roof will be a pain to clean........as theres very little fall on the roof......so did you charge £25 for windows and £50 for the roof?

That job will take around 90 mins to clean from pulling up to driving off.....I would charge similar but I'm up north......

Actually the conny roof will be easier than I thought as you can stand on the little brick wall while you pole it......

If i didnt have any other work around the area, i dont think i would touch it. What have they said about the price.
To be fair, if i was quoting i would also give them a price to tidy the whole house up.

The only thing you could do to tidy that house up would involve knocking the whole thing down.

Thanks all. This women was not happy with my quote and said no was to expensive lol just wanted to make sure my pricing was ok. Had few this month saying is bit expensive then had few others that have been ok with it. Had more say no then yes so just wanted to make sure my pricing was ok.  Thanks Edward.

I think the price probably was fair. I wouldn’t want to do it full stop. Didn’t think they’d go for it though. Place looks a dump. They wanted it cheap as chips & probably think you’re desperate.

They say if you start getting every job you quote then you’re too cheap.

You can't polish a turd.
