> Mind you Groundhog - if you really wanted to provide exceptional service for your customers you'd have a wfp system - if only to reach rooflights and otherwise inaccessible windows.

Ive been wfp for over 6 years now, I only ever get out the squeegee these days for inside work!!!  ;)

Quite right groundhog - if only I'd read properly I'd have twigged that!

your running a business,time is money
i personally dont think you get better thought of by doing the freebies
i suppose it comes down to your nature

Who said anything about freebies? I'm talking about providing an exceptional service, going the extra mile!! Many of you probably spend a fair bit on adverising etc, but the best advertising tool you can have is your work, do an exceptional job and exceed the customers expectations.. then this is the best advert you could possibly have... people will notice, you have created a positive talking point and your customers will be far more likely to recommend you to their friends and neighboors!!  :)

but your not going the extra mile are you ? when you are charging what was it, £25.00 for a 3 bed semi, you have already built it in to the price?
were dazmond as not at £6.00 a 3 bed semi

If you guys want to try and scrape a living cleaning 3 bed houses for 6 quid a pop thats up to you!!! I'd rather give them a little extra and charge a decent price, but hey that just me!!  :)

This whole "i charge £XX round here" debate will go on forever,round here you wouldnt get any work charging prices like that as nobody will pay that,whether thats for frames fascia's,garages/cars or whatever,to most its simply not affordable.
Window cleaning has to be affordable,and frames/fascia's etc round here are an extra,end of story.Nobody wants them doing every 4 weeks-no need at all in my opinion.
Fair play to you though if you can get away with charging that,i wish i could!!
