Minimum domestic price is £12, as for shops do the village shops get paid in bread from bakers, flowers from florist, take away from indian restaurant, meat from butcher, and the family get their hair cut in hairdressers. Do the pub aswell £25 and a pint. lovely

Im thinking about putting up my prices up, and would like a minumum price of £10. Im wfp and have not put my prices up for years but as ive kept them low, it means i cant spend as long on one house as id like. Does anyone have a minumum price they charge ?


see how many cleans you do in a year and divide that figure into your cost
so if you do 2400 jobs a year and your cost are £4,800 a year it £2 a job
if you do 1600 jobs a year it £3 a job
even if you do 9600 jobs a year and your cost dont go up (which is unlikely) its still £0.50p
then look at how many you clean per hour, but you have to look at your hours worked

it explains it here, its all straight forward

minium price £1  ;)

as it is i do have a house thats £1.50 shes a obvious tight wod,terraces all in a row but this one only has her door and 1 downstairs window done (whats the point  ???) dont no why i do it to be honest takes longer knock for the money

because you do the rest of the row and you dont want another cleaner on there

I'm sure there would be a que of cleaners wanting that job.

£5 is ok if your window cleaning round is based on that pricing
otherwise its a mistake

Alex `s advice is sound business advice.But I am afraid it could on deaf ears as so many have no idea of business,to those who will look and learn you will see it in your pocket.
£ 1.50 is an insult from any custy.
£ 1.50 is move over and give someone else a chance.

Never make absolute rules. General rules are excellent.

So I have a minimum price of £10. Exceptions:-


Fronts only among existing work.

A handful of old custies in a small road of ex council semi's houses which are still £8/9.

Two old peoples sheltered flats which are £5 each but there are ten of them.

New work? Minimum £11 unless the above applies.
It's a game of three halves!
