Thanks very much everyone for your replies.

Smudger thanks very much for the detailed explanation.

Your original 4 weekly price is then topped up from your 8 weekly.  :D like it.

Will draft up some quote sheets with 1st clean,  monthly and 2 monthly on.
Putting something like yourself standard for 2 monthly.

Let potential custie do the maths.
I'm monthly cleans so logical to make bi monthly.

Thanks again Darran.
Ps. Like your website made me smile looking at areas covered section been to scratby a few times to green farm caravan park.

Also alot of the other places mentioned. .hopton on sea, Gorleston etc lovely part the world.
Would like to get to wells next the sea this year heard is very nice.

Quite a few guys round me charge extra for first clean, bi-monthly etc. I pick up work because I charge one price no matter what. If a first clean is bad I don`t charge extra for the first clean but I put the price up as I find when they`re like that they can be messers.
  Problem I`m having is the windows are staying clean too long. I`ve now got some going to quarterly cleans. It`s getting out of hand what am I doing wrong.
  Cleaned a new build  in June, November they were not that bad. Might go trad, pure water lasts too long.

If you're busy it makes sense to charge extra for the first clean if it's going to take longer than the usual maintenance clean, otherwise you are spending extra time on it for no reward while you could be cleaning another property.

Gerald.
Not meaning to sound sarcastic but if your not charging extra for extended cleaning frequency maybe you've picked up some other windies cast offs, as they're cheap skates and think they've come up trumps as you're letting them call the shots.

Hope you get some nice new custies soon mate.
Maybe tell some of your old custies you can offer them a very extended frequency for free  ;)

Put a premium on longer frequencies so you winning as well as the custie.
