30 quid for cleaning the frames which won't have ever been done properly and then the glass - it's a bargain :)

hi there,

you need to decide what you value your time and effort to be worth.

if you are looking to sign a monthly contract with your clients then you may decide to go in at a better price.

the question is how much do you want to, or need to earn? 

this will then form a basis for your pricing.

you need to charge as much as you can to win the job,

regards

martin

So its £30 or £80  ;D

If you are happy with your income from domesitc price it the same way.
Just add a bit for the height. Forget the pole just price the job. The fact you have invested in a pole is not the point. You will do the job faster and safer with the pole but the punter wants his windows cleaned. Price too high and someone else will undercut you.

i do half a days work fo £80  . i would quote £20-£25 for that and have it done in less than 30 min . then that would be a good job even at 40 mins if you are slow

I would hazard a guess at:

£2 a window for ground
£2.15 for 1st
£2.30 for 2nd
=£38.70 so call it 39 quid for good measure.
