£15 ??

[lcwalker]

Im traditional and i was thinking the money will come from there maintence fund so could i push it up alittle,i do gardening to and they want a quote for the grass, so it could be a handy bit of money and it's very local to.

Depends how long it will take you and how often they want tem doing!

example one off for an hours labour £30 min.

[barry mallett]

why do you wanna rip a school off for ?     are you that desperate for more stella ?

you see a REAL window cleaner would price the job for what its worth  not what he/she could milk it for

[lcwalker]

I think some of you have got me a bit wrong im not trying to rip off the school but im dont want to do myself TBH ive never been that good at pricing and i never aim for £30 ph so i dont think im ripping anyone off, Ive decided £20 i think that a fair price i reckon they will take me an hour.Im not a greedy man just want to be fair to the customer and myself.

The reason i asked this question is im not that good at pricing, i have always got the feeling that people expect windows to be cheaper than i charge, i try to aim for a £1 per window sometimes alittle more if a window has lots of panes.

Would you call my pricing milking it? but i think the suggestion of £15 was a bit low.

I'm afraid thats called milking,  knowing what the price is but deliberately putting the price up because you think they will still pay it

[lcwalker]

Well the first price i had in mind was £20 so thats what im going to quote,like i said i reckon it will take me an hour so i think that fair enough.As for milking that could be the start of a good debate i bet many members on here would charge more for example for a 3 bed house in the posh part of town than they would on a council estate i may start a poll later.

Its not a question of being greedy, its about running a profitable business! Do you only think of your hourly wage or do you think of cost of running a business?

[NJWindowCleaning]

For the amount of windows and doors I assume for just external clean would be £25.00.

And this is a fare price.

[ashbash]

is this for real its 6 windows not 600. surely u have a price guide etc why ask other people when everyone has there own price guide...

[barry mallett]

its got to be a wind up.

[lcwalker]

It's all done the written quote £20 ill now wait to hear from them.

[barry mallett]

let us know how you get on , cant wait . if you get the job the drinks are on you . mines moet.

[AuRavelling79]

£50
