"How much to clean my Bungalow?"
Can't say off the top of my head - I really need to see it.
"well how much do you normally charge?"
Well, it will probably be somewhere between twelve and fifteen for a regular clean and that includes the frames.
"oh good when can you do it?"
I'll phone you nearer the end of the month when I'm over that way.
"that's a good idea then I can cut the brambles back so you can see the glass"  ::)

I hate the way customers ask 'how much will it be?' when you cant see the house and for all you know they could say 12 windows and that could just be a flipping conservatory  >:(

Ive a bungalow with 19 windows although some are small and cant be classed as such and its £12 :) people seem to forget when you are taking time to do the frames and doors etc it needs to be charged more.  I have learnt that early, some of my early jobs i priced too little will eventually be creamed off possibly :)

I hate it when they ask how much without you seeing the place. But if I had my carpets cleaned then I would like to know how much it would generaly cost.
We are all the same, i guess

I always carry clippers with me so I can hack a way to the windows.  Ivy, pyracanthus, climbing roses, wisteria...when I've got my clippers out I'm like Alan Titchmarsh. Mind you I insist the customer clears up the cuttings.

If I've the time I'm happy to snip snip snip away. If it's a few bits of ivy trailing down I don't charge as it takes seconds and shows a bit of goodwill. If it's a jungle then of course my gardening skills ;D have to be charged for....Oh the healthy plants I've butchered over the years ;D
