I was asked by a regular window cleaning customer to give her a price to clean the carpets in her 2nd floor flat; 2 bedrooms, 2 small hall ways and a lounge containing a 12ft x 10ft Chinese rug. I gave her my price and was amazed when she told me that the well known local compant she uses charges her £35 for the lot
I know she's being honest with me as she's been a customer for ages and even helped me win the contract to clean the local Iceland store where she works; and to be honest she didn't expect me to be cheaper, which I wasn't.
Apparently he's thre for around 3 hours and does a great job; she always gives him £40 cause he sweats alot ( her words, not mine
)
I just can't understand his reasoning for charging such a small price when all the quotes she got from other companies were over the £100 mark; I said I'd do it for £90 as she was a long standing customer but told her she was better off staying with the other chap; I wont name his firm incase he's on here
Oh well, he probably does a lot of work but could be making a lot more money than he is; it's just my opinion that there's cheap and then there's flippin ridiculous
