Before I put my prices up, I always ask myself, "Am I happy with what I receive for the work involved?", and if the answer is yes, I don't put them up, and if it's no, I put them up.  I'm not really bothered what other window cleaners would charge.

£10 if with other work.  If a bit of travelling I would say £12.

I have one of these and told her it would be a tenner including frames, sills and doors.  She said is that all??  Gives me £15 everytime, I just spend 5 min asking how the grandkids are and she is happy as larry in a pigsty.

18 - 22,50 euro's depending on the back, every 8 weeks, excluding velux, dormers etc.

With some of the prices being quoted here in the sub 10 bracket I doubt I could survive...19% VAT straight-away, then the amount of insurance you need here in Holland sub 10 would be a waste of time.

Plus I think I must take far too long cleaning houses...that house I reckon would take me 20 to 30 minutes.

Yes Dave, but the VAT threashold is around 65,000 in UK, so they don't have 19% on top. That's why it's a shock when you see some prices on here.

I charge per unit and have a price for different units like bay windows, patio windows, french windows, sky-lights etc.
That way you are not trying to guess how long it would take.
Having the same prices for the last 5 years? you need to up your prices, how much has fuel increased in the past 5 years?
Also I have noticed that insurance has hiked this year too. you have to charge accordingly, if overheads have gone up then prices have to.
