most of my very compact domestic estate work is monthly with a few 2 monthlies here and there.i have a fair few 2 monthlies at much better prices in other areas i work.

most new work not on the estates i offer at 2 monthly as i can charge a higher price so my time on the job is worth more.to be honest most customers are happy with 2 monthly.

still lots of window cleaners cleaning fortnightly near me on the council estates.sometimes they come early by a few days so sometimes its 12 days since the last clean!!they all drive old cars and are trad only!!

i also have a big church i clean twice yearly and some 6 weekly commercial jobs.i always charge more for a longer frequency.why not?it does take slightly longer,the windows are dirtier and you use more water that costs you money to produce.

About 95% of our domestic stuff is 4 weekly, the rest 8 weekly. The price is the same as it takes no longer to clean them; anyone who says differently is telling porkies

But don't you think that these 8 weeklies are worth less to us in terms of financial gain?  A £10 four weekly is worth double the £10 eight weekly - therefore the eight weekly customer is less valued in business terms; so isn't it worth charging them more to increase their monetary value?

I think it is.  I charge more for longer frequency cleans because the customer is 'worth less' from a financial point of view than someone who has their windows cleaned more regularly.

This is a business.

most of my customers are every 4 weeks i am also very sneeky and get in a few days early most months. if you want more regular houses you need to target £7 £8 houses as the cost isnt much they dont mind having them done so often i find most of the larger houses i get £20 for example go bio. just a thought

Tosh thats bang on, dare I say you 100% right again

4 and 6 weekly i charege the same i now charge 25% more on 8 weekly

12 weekly i charge as a new clean so charge double

I clean what ever the customer wants

At LAST! somebody with a bit of sense. Window cleaning is a business, the idea is to make money not stick to some weirdly rigid timescale that has no logic.

What the customer wants the customer gets and you provide the service. The price is the same, why charge more? This business is going to longer clean intervals anyway. I have some on six monthly now. Still money in my pocket.

Well said Vince

Same price no matter how often.

Wfp is so quick, does it really matter of another minute or two on a customer, if they asked you to go 8 weekly instead of 4 weekly ?

Also would you put the price down if someone changed from 8 weekly to 4 weekly, because you do it quicker ?  I DOUBT IT ...

Ian,

If you do, then thats the 1st time I have heard a someone drop a price ( bet not everyone does ), I know I don't, but then again I don't put them up either if they change to a longer frequency.

I really don't see the point in changing prices like that, as I said before it does't take any longer to clean if its 4, 8 or 12 weekly. Does IT !!!!!!

it costs you more mate thats the point, it also CAN take longer to clean, you dont have to justify why you dont charge more for something that takes longer, it is none of my business its yours 

[matty72]

looks like everyone is different the only thing i thought is the longer window cleaners make cleans overall the less there is, customers chat word of mouth spreads, window cleaners compete before you know where you are your doing a one bed house yearly , i've always done 6 weeks but might go to 8 weeks but think I should charge 50% more

your going to charge 50% more for moving the cleans by an extra 2 weeks, do you think your custys will be happy with that.

[matty72]
