Title: Pricing
Post by: tompoole on February 03, 2008, 03:08:35 pm
hi

I know people don't like advertising what they are charging , but, what is the kind of price you can charge for a conservatory clean.  tfr then wfp. say 5m x 4m . i started to charge about .50p-£1 a pannel . this includes a quick wipe down of frame. but think this could be too cheap,  I'm trad at mo but plan to order the pure freedom trolley just for the conservatories and hard to get windows to start with.

If it is a regular clean with the rest of the house I would say you are about right, but if it is for a one off or an accassional conservatory clean I would double that.

Sounds  cheap, especially as your are applying TFR as part of the clean. And cleaning the roof I presume.

Bottom line I suppose is that you are happy with the rate you are charging.

Hi

Like i said i'm new to window cleaning. I have been up and running only since dec.

I'm cleaning trad at the mo and charge .50-£1 per panel on a conservatory, what i do is clean glass and wipe frame. I have just been asked to do a huge glass  conserv roof that is dirty and have been advised to spray tfr first then wfp it . i haven't bought the wfp  yet but need to price job up on tues. it will be regular every calendar month. also just been offered another large conservatory yearly and they are charged £160 + vat at the mo.

Any feed back is good

You can get good money if you work it the right way.

I market cons cleaning heavily and have a company print mine up and have them put out in 1,000's.

Cost wise, i charge £100 + per conservatory.......outside only. top to bottom!

Some on here cant or dont understand why i get that much. I use professional leaflets, professional equipment (cons ladder etc) , and am unindated during spring to autumn.

The time to start putting them out is pre spring, im investing in a motor scrubber this yr, it will cut cleaning time by half!

Ask mark at d p print to knock something up for you....he does mine, if your not near me, you may be able to use mine  ;)

Its a goldmine out there doing this, a forum member came out with me for a day on a saturday to see....done 4, all priced over £100.......dont undersell yourself.

Do a search of the site, there is some very good info, and you can see how different cleaners approach the SAME job and how they ultimately price for it.

Good luck.
