Quote from: Panorama on November 12, 2010, 03:04:39 pmHi steve and welcome to the forum. What were you charging 5 years ago? . I've just started again this summer after a 25 year lay off. Before I started I bumped into a wc whilst doing some delivery work and I asked what he charged and I bulit my structure around his price for working that same area. I've since picked up some more work in the same area but I'm actually charging more than him. I'm picking up his existing customers who are not happy with his work. So I would say put in a price what you think is fair for both you and the customer and also try do catch a wc in the area you want to target And obtain a quote.Hi Panorama Just thought the prices might of gone up. Well I used to charge 50p for plain and £1 for leads .I bumped into some of my old customers over the weeks and they all say they would have me back Some of them dont even know where their window cleaner comes from ..that worries me.
