Title: prices around the uk
Post by: rl on August 03, 2009, 05:56:36 pm
Ok, this has probably already been done before, but having read recent posts about vast differences in prices around the uk (and further afield), I thought it might be good to see what people charge and where they are based.

So what would your (serious) price be for -  An 'average' 3 bed semi cleaned 4 weekly and what county/town/city are you in.

Squaddies pay for a 3 bed semi here about 13 quid, they are from all over the UK, but there isn't a WCer on every corner, so it's easier to get a good price I suppose.. Also, the houses are mostly only 1 or 2 panes, so easy to do.

These threads come up from time to time and I've found that not so much the UK but the same street will show a wide variation.

In a row of forty houses on one side of an urban dual carriage way in Bristol the ave. price for house fronts is as follows:-

W/C 1   £5        He has three
W/C 2   £6        He has three
W/C 3   £7        He has twelve (me)
W/C 4   £10      He has two

Half appear to be not done by a W/C ...

good to see how prices are different depending on where you are.

Malc, interesting how prices can be so different in the same street, probably shows how little people talk to each other!

so far worthing and ipswich are most expensive at £12 - £15
and scotland and north east england lowest price at £5 - £6

anyone from North west england with a price - one area no one has posted a price for.

THis post has dowm a lot of good for this industry as we need to unify pricing in the U K. Thre will always be higher and lower but a differance from 2.5 to 16 pounds is not good for this industry and will stop us from been professions as we show we cannot get our house in order.One will see in highly professional industries eg banking fee are very much standerd.So will down to the fellow who started this post.We should contrabute at least once every 3 months. It is not imortant wat each erns but what we charge and the vo;ue we can produce that counts. THIS WOULD STOP ALL FLY BY NIGHTS THINKING ITS EASY MONEY WE EARN.

£5 - £6 scottish borders 4 an hour ..

time for an increase before I get out there, I was thinking of my cheapest price being £6 and a three bed semi about the £8 mark.

Or I am being a bit optimistic there ?

Unifying prices is called a cartel and is strictly illegal.

But more importantly; What's charged in St.Johns Wood (NW London) for a 3 bed semi will never bear any relationship to what's charged in Dumfries for a similar property.

It's a fact of life but people in the south are better paid and therefore can afford to pay more...therefore window cleaners down south charge more...simples ;D
