Title: fames and sills included?
Post by: GB Window Cleaning on November 02, 2009, 02:16:55 pm
okay i know this has been asked before but i'd just like a new fresh veiw on the topic.

Do you as a window cleaner include frames and sills in your service or just glass?
or do you inclide frames as an optional extra?
plus do you do front and back doors as standard or are these added extra's?

thanks in advance george

i included doors, frames and sills in my price, cant see the point in having clean glass, if sills, frames and doors are dirty   sure some frames and doors make take a few cleans to get spot less, but most of the custys i have expect that any way as a lot where covered in green algy type stuff, as hadent been done in ages,

All included here too.  Can be a barsteward of a job first clean, but easy to wipe them over from then on, and looks great.
On the subject, I've just gained about 40 customers from a street where the cleaner they did have refused to do frames in with the price.

All of the above.  Picked lots of customers up from just spending the few extra mins doing the frames and sills.

No cleaning the frames is silly, it is untapped income staring you in the face. Include it in your quote. It will be the most profitable extra income you will ever earn. No extra expenses incurred.
I would recommend going wfp for the single reason of getting those dormers, velux and windows over conservatories.
Getting a quid, 2 or more per job soon mounts up. It's very easy to keep frames clean.

I clean the frames on the first clean, then every now and then When I think they need it, no point cleaning frames that are clean is there.
Sils I clean every time.

Hi how much extra would you charge for frames on a standard 3 bed semi (trad)?  Assuming house is worth £10-£12.

Just my opinion ;)

I always do the frames and sills inclusive of cost. It doesnt take much time or labour and only needs a cloth or rag to do it. Makes you look good and I feel (and hope) that a lot of recommendations will come from it. Win win in my opinion.
