Theres a hell of a lot of business about in cleaning cons, the whole of the back of my van is dedicated to the service, and i put out around 20,000 leaflets spring time.

If someone doesnt like my prices i move on, pittmonkey (aka wayne of this forum) came out with me on a saturday this year, i had 4 to do, all priced well over £100.

Ask and you shall receive!!!

Title: Re: conserv roof clean pic
Post by: nat on December 22, 2007, 07:22:07 pm
I have seen some prices quoted on here and i can't believe how much some charge!! we normally charge around £30 min for a one off but got £55 for a roof and con the other day. it took 1 guy 50 mins. still very good money and not a ridiculous price for the custy

thank you nat...i did one a while ago, that took me about 30 mins and charged £40. thats been my most expensive roof, someone had been in and quoted over £100 to do and she thought it was horrendous, and she was well off. its nice to get good money for doing things...but some of you guys are taking it to the next level

When i first started, just over 2 years ago, the best advice i was given from a forum member was, minimum charge a tenner on windows and 100 on cons.

I stuck by that and am so glad i did.

My prices must be ok, as i get repeats, and many refferals.

Im actually thinking about getting someone to do the cons cleans in the summer for me as i just get to busy now.

seriously tho LWC, get it somewhere in big letters about the cons cleaning on ya van, and i guarantee you will get what you ask for, and if you do leaflet, on the reverse introduce the cons cleaning.

I have double sided from D P Print, cant remember how much but was well worth it.

I'm looking into upvc repairs as an add on too,

If only the summer was longer!!!!

That`s the thing with roofs,i do large ones from time to time and they can take a while.If you did 3 or 4 in a day large ones i mean there would be no time left for cleaning custies window`s aswell that day so it would be like having a day off,if you have enough of that work then getting someone to just do the roofs would be a good idea like you said.
Title: Re: conserv roof clean pic
Post by: nat on December 22, 2007, 07:50:51 pm
your right NWH it doesn't make sense but if it works then what the hell  ;)

if you can acheive the figures then fair play. I think we are mostly in this game to make money i wouldn't be in it for any other reason. The thing is i like to price myself as competitve but still offering a quality service. if you get then fair enough. i know for a fact we could never acheive figures of around £100 for a con or just roof

Post by: mick hay on December 22, 2007, 08:04:02 pm
i use pole, tap water, tfr sometimes (to be honest i really dont think it makes any difference) upvc cream cleaner, solvent cleaner on stubborn marks, and thats it really!!

Yes i do have before and afters, but im not putting them up as yet cos they are for my web site in the new year. There are some on here on previous posts if you can do a search.

I offer my custies a discount if they allow me to take piccies for my site, im ex sales (timeshare, 2nd hand cars, advertising) im a nice chap really...lol., so always throw an incentive in so they can save some money!!

Ronnie, next year if you want, come out with me when i do some cons, not seen you for ages
