Up north about £15/£20

I tried £20 on an L shaped house twice that size in Nunthorpe (a well to do area) and didn't get the job. I tried £35.00 for a house twice that size with a large conservatory also in Nunthorpe, got it but only every 12 weeks. Did it for a year, now cancelled.

8 years ago, my first job in Nunthorpe was a 3 bedroom bungalow with a small conservatory for £8.00. Her sister has a bungalow twice the size with gorgian style windows and a large conservatory complaining that her window cleaner had just put the price up from £4 to £6 (including conservatory). She felt that it was too much and he didn't do a good job. I did a conservatory roof clean for her and she asked me to quote - £15.00. I suggested she raise the window cleaner's price from £6 to £8 on the provisor that he pay a little more attention to cleaning her windows. She nearly fainted. I didn't find any issues with the quailty of his clean either TBH.

7 years later she drives into her sister's with a brand new Audi A4. She is still paying £6 to that window cleaner.

If you honestly think that you can get a price like that then we need to rethink our pricing policy - upwards, despite having the competition of a large trad company of cleaners that charge £5 back and front for a 3 bed semi in Guisborough - £2.50 fronts.

i think you can charge what you want, some people might think 35 quid for having there windows cleaned is cheap....but a few months down the line someone might knock the door and quote half that, then your gonna get dropped. im not greedy as long as there happy and im bringing in a decent wage im happy.
earning £60 to £90 an hour sounds ridiculous for cleaning windows, doctors and surgeons who save lifes dont earn near that sort of money.
come on bring on the haters

Doctors are paid all the time they are at work, not just the time they are in front of patients

Doctors get sick pay

Doctors get holiday pay

Doctors get paid for Bank Holidays

Doctors are still paid if their car is in the garage

Doctors don't pay for the equipment they use

Doctors don't pay their own liability insurance

Doctors don't have to pay to find patients

Doctors don't have bad payers, late payers and non payers

Doctors get money back when they use their car for work

Doctors get a pension


Cut that lot out and £60 turns into something much less.  When will people on here learn that your hourly rate on the glass is not the money you take home?

 Pricing a house for a clean varys from one end of the country to the other, you could argue with each other
 till the cows come home that your to expensive or your to cheap, ( Busy Fool) your overpriced, your underpriced.
 Last summer i was asked to price a big house, windows cleaned inside & out, i quoted them 90 euro wasn't
 sure if i would get it or not, he said thats great can you do it now, did the job, he was very happy with the finished
 job paid me 90 euro plus 10 euro tip    he admitted i was the cheapest out of three quotes, the most expensive
 being 230 euro which even shocked me. i think its about finding the right balance with pricing, factoring in all
 the variables.

Doctors don't claim all there expenses back for their tax
I understand where your coming from tho, but I've always been self employed so don't really no any different

Just a thought tho, I have seen a big increase in window cleaners and a few are our foreigners who would be over the moon to earn 10 er an hour.
One guy I spoke to used to do car washing at one of the many new foreign car washing places round here.
Isn't it worrying that we might get flooded by lots of 10 pound an hour guys taking all our work.?
My average is around 30 an hour and I'm in the middle for prices, this worries me but if I was earning 60 to 90 an hour I would definately be worried
Not getting at anyone for their prices was just a thought

You only need to be worried if you're spending everything you earn.
Top line-unimportant.
Bottom line-that's what counts.
If you earn £30p/h but spend £200 a day, you're left with a tenner.
If you earn £60 p/h but still only spend £200 a day...

And doctors etc NEED to earn that kind of money cause they'll be in debt by 6 figures cause they earn almost nothing for their First 7 years.
