went to a cottage today right out in the country to price for a job. it was only a small property so i said it'll be £14 the women snapped my hand off saying that she hadn't had a window cleaner for years. started doing the windows when a women came out of her house saying "can you do mine after". started on her house then her neighbour poked her head over the hedge "can you do mine"
before i finished her property i got four more houses to do all within walking distance.
Oh how i love these days...kerching ££££££££££ ;D

I explained to the women that due to the distance from home i couldn't do it any cheaper, little did i know what lay in store a few minutes later ;)

I bet you would have still got those jobs if you had said £20! providing you had sold yourself and your service properly!! Personally, I don't take on anything for less than £25 these days!

nothing less than £25? where do you live, surely people laugh in your face if its a small house, i have a handful of properties over that price, majority are half it but i still make good money, in fact most would say im lying if i said what i do a day, well done if you re getting those prices but seems unachievable on little homes!

i think groundhog means he probably already has a full round, so he only takes on work at £25.00 +, it does not mean he charges that for smaller propertys though,i myself have a pretty full round after over 20 yrs in the trade, and i cherry pick work now to .

daz, I think you're probably right about the £25 thing, my minimum is £10 but I can see how it might be more in the future.
I also went to wood green, but wouldn't have known you as i'm 6 years younger :P (5 years younger next thursday!)
small world ain't it?
-
it sure is , i feel older now lol
