Presumably this is for George users - since it is an easy calculation.

£16.05

Customers range from £2.50 to £180 per clean.

I thought it would be higher  ???



It's quite easy whatever software you use really.
My average visit is £14.20.
It currently ranges from £5 up to £80.

Sorry.  I didn't read your post properly.  Without the commercial work, the average  drops to £13.31 .  The range is from £5 to £58

I remember posting an answer when the question was asked before but couldn't remember what my answer was though.  It's a little bit better than it looks too as I think my previous answer included the commercial work.
I've increased some of my prices this year and quoted new work higher.  The increase in the average is as much to do with discarding lower paid jobs as taking on work at better prices.  My customer numbers are pretty static at around 208 though.  I intend to have that closer to 300 by the year end.

Post by: Paul Coleman on August 29, 2007, 07:12:09 am
I have no doubt that some on here have some very impressive 'average' house prices....mine look very impressive at the moment but alas I only have 138 customers at present so when I have a full round this average will very much be watered down.

But the scorn that is shown to some people who take the time to answer question of fellow CIU members is very sad.

Squeaky you take every opportunity to throw cold water at many posts on here...but all you seem to do with the other breath is winge, wine, moan and complain like a eleven year girl about ...dont have enough money, work, tax money, customers....are you ever happy or do you just like to spread your depression to the world..

You very rarely seem to have anything constuctive to say....more the opposite to be fair....

My average house is 19.46 pounds....but then again I do not have a full round so in another year or so...who knows...but this is truth and if you don't agree...you deal with it. Lets face average house price is a vague quantifier but gives a broadview.

Dave.

It's simple really.  If you don't like what he writes, don't read his posts.

Yes you do, trying to look important.

2/ I believe that most people are being honest. ;)
Most yes, that's why most are about £10, strangley others are £25. ::)

3/ If you make so much money, then why do you think I am lying about my average price?  ???
Because it's 3 times the average.

4/ What exactly are you talented at? ;D
My job and getting the best results in quick time.

5/ Unlike you I do not undercut other window cleaners!! >:(
Get stuffed, I've never undercut anyone. >:(
Satisfied?

I didn't want to be the one to have to say this Squealer, but you are without doubt an idiot!! :o
Why do you think that I am lying just because my average price is above average? I have never set out to be average, and I have a lot of large houses on my round, several of which are priced at over £100, so I was actually quite suprised that my average price was not higher than £25!!

I am not going to waste any more of my time on this pointless debate with an idiot like you Squealer!! >:(

I would say my average is 20 to 22 quid, Luke

I dont work for less than 8 pound, and that would only get you 2 windows if I had to setup my equipment for such a small job, our local minimum is 8 but will soon rise to 12 and our non local minimum is 25 due to the area being quite rural.

Post by: neil100 on August 29, 2007, 08:42:51 pm
I have no Idea what my average price is.

To be honest it does not matter a jot. If you do 20 terrace houses front only at £5.00 a go. Then the next day you have a client at £120.00, it means their is no point at looking at your average house price.

Its far more pratical to look at your hourly earnings over the days you work to know your good work from your bad.

That point hits it right on the head, sometimes I earn alot an hour sometimes it goes down, over the years you build on it, average woould need to be worked on the customers you have, time spent, price, duration etc etc etc. I got my average down and i was gutted lol but do very well for myself. keep posting your averages though as I would love to no more  ;)

You could do ten £5 houses in an hour or one £30 house in an hour meaning your averages look completely different

Like was already said its the quality of price/house that counts
and as long as you are happy thats all that matters

thats why i am asking for peoples averages..  would be nice if we was all on 30 pound per house , every house..... i didnt ask about the quality of work or the hourly rate... simply an average figure per house .. for the round.. simple lol.
Title: Re: Average price of your domestic round.
Post by: neil100 on August 30, 2007, 07:35:54 am
Gazza, I know you have asked for an average per house. But the figure has no relevant value or merit in the practacalities of a w/c buisness. IE,

You could clean 20 houses earning you £100.00, £5.00 an house.

10 houses earning you £100.00, £10.00 an house.

5 houses earning you £100.00, £20.00 an house.

1 house earning you £100.00,

Now for me the highs on the lows of the example above would be, 1 house = less collecting then 20 houses, a big time saver at work and going out collecting.

The big advantage of the 20 houses is if you lose a customer its only £5.00 to lose. If you lose a £100.00 house its a lot of money to lose.

I can see practiclities in looking at how prices make up a domestic round. but I cannot see any practical value in an average price.

Hope that makes it clearer.

Nel.
