are you including the cons roof in the 10 minutes?

No of course not

House and conservatory sides at £20 for a regular clean would be a good price for me. Any higher and they wouldn't have it done. However for a one off total conservatory clean with roof then yes £20 sounds cheap.
The house alone for a tenner seems reasonable.

These people wom't pay big prices.What do you do when the previous W/C has just let the price stay low so long, they do not have any clue about the present rate of W/Cleaning. I don't want to work for peanuts and I know this job is sooooooo under priced at £10 for windows and conservatory, but what can I do, because if I give them a price I'd charge a new customer (£15 at least) that's such a rise they freak out and think you're trying to rip them off, when it iis a fair price at the moment IMHO.

Thanks

Then i agree 10 mins for side only is about right. The roof would take me 20-30 minutes because of ladder moves.

[ronnie paton]

40 mins with the roof is really quick, and the the windows would take 10min no probs!!

lee i know this wont help but this i one of the reasons i would never buy a round of someone. The  only round i ever bought was a parade of 12 shops for £100 genarates £140 a month and it was cheap very cheap and the element of risk was low.

Yeah I paid a high price for this round (nearly 3 X its worth) and have lost what seems like about 30%, nearly all due to clicky/old/set in their ways/busybody types.
Lucliky with the price rises that have stayed and the new customers, I have 40 less calls and am only down £50 per month on the value of the round when I bought It.......And It did get me out of a job I hated too :

Spot on Simon. Sides wouldnt take long but the roof would be a pig of a job and take at least 40 mins.

House and conserv around £16-£20 seems a good price for monthly clean.

Bob

[simon knight]

I tend to do bi-monthly.

I'd probably look for £30 but could be bated down to £25. Don't think I'd go any lower than that though.

Thanks. Theres more UPS than DOWNS so far

Conservatory on its own?  £10 - £15 (depending on access round the other side...)

House + Conservatory £20 is about right...

[Paul Coleman]

Conservatory roof £30 - £35.
Conservatory sides £6 - £7.
House is hard to say as I can only see the back.  Maybe £12, maybe £15.  Depends what glass is on the sides too.

[supernova77]

Conservatory sides = £10

Conservatory roof = £50

Looking through this thread, even though I price higher these days, I'm wondering if I'm still working too cheaply.
