Thank you for the quote. As it is an extremely high quote for a normal sized conservatory we have found someone who will do a professional job at a fraction of your quote.

Bless'em - they spend over 10K on a conservatory and baulk at having it cleaned thoroughly on an annual basis.

How much did you quote?

Let's hope she is using a professional. They can be cheaper than amateurs.

Dear Sally, (I'm not prufeshnul enuff to call you Mrs. Higgins.)

I am so sorry to hear that we have lost your business to a "professional company" that charges a fraction of our price. I really love being in a conservatory scrubbing away with rough grade wire wool on a hot sunny day, using a jet wash on the insides of opened doors and into joints getting all the crap out and letting all the water dribble in to the electrics.

Most of all I shall miss moving your gargantuam rattan sofas outside and picking up the dog hair/chewed sweets/used condom/dead mouse from underneath.

Best wishes with your professional clean and if they want to borrow my windowvac send them over as it is becoming increasingly redundant.

Yours Sloppily,

Quite amazing isn't it what two different people will view as a fair price for an identical serice in the same area.

I've had people baulk at £x for conny clean and a few doors down snap your arm off for double.

There was a bit of travelling involved, so I added £30 to our minimum charge of £150 for non customer one offs on conservatories.

£180 external and £180 internal.

Thought that was quite reasonable considering it was a clear glass roof, which are a pain in the arse to get spotless.

I'm a bit out of practice with conservatories, but I did one last week which took 90 minutes. Only average size. I reckon if it's a one off it's not an unreasonable price for the south. There would be loads that would do it for a lot less though. I would too for a regular customer.

About a 40 min round trip travel wise and about 2 hours cleaning time

What for a full deep clean including the conservatory roof inside and out?
I know I'm slow but some can take me 5-6 hours on my own to do properly.  Mind after saying that Thomas Sanderson normally takes two men  a day to do and charges a wee bit more. lol

I can do most conservatory roofs to a good standard pretty quickly now after 7 years of doing them. ...£180 is a very high price imo

I thought £60 was about right for a conny roof + Monthly cost of windows

I charge min of 70 for conny roofs but thats for my regular window clients.
Think the most ive charged for cleaning a con roof is £100. That was for about 2hrs work as well.

Sorry, I wasn't expecting to get the inside as I can't stand doing them.

The time was for externals only

I should charge more as they're a pain to clean especially when the custard doesn't have an outside tap
