Thats got to be the same thing surely?

I charge by the sq ft, usualy 17.5 pence but this can vary a lot depending on area, soiling etc.

Minimum job charge £35, but if around the corner £25 for a small room.

The thing to remember is you do not know how much a customer is prepared to pay!

Some customers are looking for a cheap price, if you look like a cheap company that is what they expect, if you look like a professional company price isn't as much of an issue.

I once went to a lady who is now a regular customer down the road and cleaned a 10 x 10 living room for £25. When I quoted her at first she said I would have been prepared to pay £50 to have it cleaned .

I now recieve £350 worth per year from the same lass, but thats another story

I charge a minimum charge of £25 even if it is next door and a tiny wc,for the rest of the charges it does depend on how much more I will be doing in the property , the more that I do the cheaper ( per room  ) it is for the customer.
There is a CC in my nearest town that charges each individual room seperately treating each room as its the only room he is doing in the house,I have known him quote £190 to clean an empty 3 bed house .I quoted £85 and got the job  ,took me 2 hours  , his van was parked outside on his drive all day , I would rather earn £40 an hour and be busy , Am I wrong ?

By the way I have a blazer and he has a Sabrina Maxi

I charge 30p per sq ft or 25p for more than one room - I have a £40 min charge.

John, you're sort of in my area (cheshire), do customer rip your arm at your price as they do with me at my prices?
