Pricing conservatory roofs
« on: March 25, 2011, 05:18:23 pm »
Starting to do more and more of these as put it on my "your windows were cleaned today slip"

never really seen it as a major part of the job so never really thought about the pricing and normally went with 1st thing that popped into my head so could be £10 or £25 depending on how I felt  ;D

however want to get some uniformity into the job so done one today and worked on £2 a panel ... 15 panels so £30 lady hesitated then said yes do it.

How do u price them .... is £2 a roof panel about right do u think ?

we do at least 5 conservatory valets a week - bit more than just a roof clean.

price wise.

how dirty?

how big?

how long (time)?

good & bad access?

one off/regular (say 4 monthly)

thats what you should be looking at.

oh and if its plastic - then a simple cheap fb pole and customers outside will do the job

if clear then above and finish with pure wfp.

no need for a ladder against the conservatory most of the time! a pair of 5 -8 tred steps about 5 - 10 yards away from the conservatory and your wfp does the job.

if really dirty - then tfr,ubik or even silet bang sprayed on, leave for 5 mins, and then go over with the pole.

thanks for reply wc solutions ... was thinking more along lines of a quick wash over with the pole than a full valet .. used to do them but have stopped as no spare time

This is something i need to sort out too im getting a fair few more and more often and my prices have been quite silly, £10.... £15.... some of these took longer then the bloody windows...

£2.00 i think this sounds a decent guide line maybe £3 would be better

what i wana know is for this price do we just wfp down the glass or apply tfr can a pro conny roofer cleaner tell us how to master the conny roof cleaning and pricing ;p

I agree, while it's not difficult work, it's standing on a ladder for an hour or two and I charge a minimum of £60. Some guys do them for next to nothing and I can't see the point.

Remember to price it well as it will probably take longer than you think....if your doing the roof you will also do the gutters and the windows so put that into your price too.

I charge £40 minimum and price up £4-£5 per panel depending how dirty/awkward it is. But I am not a fan of doing them so if they say no it makes no odds to me.

How do u price them .... is £2 a roof panel about right do u think ?

Do you clean the edge over the gutter for this (often cacked) ? And then clean the conny gutter where its all splashed and dirty and dripping down the windows?  If the gutters dirty it'll run all down the windows too. They're a pain them jobs on your normal round .I always try and resist any temptation to just give them a quick rinse for a few quid and opt for a full conny clean. Book them in for Saturday mornings, prices starting at £30.

£5 per pannel including external guttering section - £20 for finals - min price £60 - £30+ for the internal gutters cleaned out

Used to set myself a min £40 for the lot - found myself out of pocket really compared to the windows on many, so upped my price
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Min price £40 too.  You'll get plenty of them at that price.

when i do a conny roof i make sure i charge £40 even if its an easy and straight forward job as i include washing the outside of gutter and clean all windows on conny after so make sure you tell custy you got do that aswell,you cant just clean roof and thats it

See when you clean the gutters do yous clean out the mess from inside the gutters as well as the outside?
