I wouldn't price on what it costs you to live otherwise you'll price to low i price on what I want for the job not by the window or the hour,price a job by the hour and you could end up cleaning downton abbey for £50-£60 lol. With WFP you can clean as we know far far quicker and can't be compared to trad cleaning time wise,the thing is in some areas there's a lot of WFPolers driving down prices by cleaning 50-£60 houses for 25 now. They've gone from earning good money traditionally to average money and running like busy fools with the pole.

are they?how do you know?do you ask all the wfp window cleaners in these areas how much their charging?

im earning a lot more than when i was trad 7 years ago.this year i reckon itll be £22,000-£23,000 MORE a year compared to my trad earnings.happy days.

Just gone my local hairdressers. I pay 12 quid for a bit of hair to be chopped off!  All other hairdressers (of which there is 3 more in the area) all charge men £6.

Yet i pay double that and why??  Cause she is very good at what she does compared to the other cheap hairdressers.

Nathan.... Yeah right she is

Exactly, its nothing to do with getting a better blue rinse.

I go to the barbers at the top of my street, 7 quid i think..becasuse he does the job and i dont need owt fancy

Further into town theres a barbers who charge 15quid, if i wanted anything special doing id probably go there because i would expect them to do a better job.

I dont know what that tells u about window cleaning other than some people will be happy with an ok job doing for cheap.

others will want a quality job doing and happy to pay more, its hard to cater for both.

my local barbers charges £8 but i always give them a tenner.lots of "turkish style" barbers near me.spoilt for choice really.all of them are good and they do your eyebrows,ears and use cut throat razors for tidying up round the back and sides.takes them around 20 mins.well worth a tenner in my book.all of them are open 7 days a week too!

they all charge £8 for a regular cut(theres 7 barber shops in a 2 mile area!)

You guys need to stop mincing with your hairdoo's and just get a set of trimmers and do it yourself.... What are you window cleaners or plasterers ?

A good price is a price that is better than what you'd get up the road doing your usual work,if your cleaning plastic facias or gutters and your getting the same your a fool.

Nathan hit the nail on the head when it comes to pricing but for the wrong reason, he's believes he's getting a better haircut
because its twice the price, its like the branded and own braded products in the supermarkets, put the same product in a different
box with a cheaper price and it will taste inferior.
There will be people who will be looking a cheap clean and other who will pay a lot more because they believe in doing so they
will get something better, luckily most will just take it for granted that they are.

I just love these pricing questions as if all window cleaner in all areas charge the same. The best way to price is to do your homework and find out what prices in your area are. AS this will be where you will be working after all. Get off your ass and knock on some doors and if they say they have a window cleaner. Tell them you are new to the game and if it`s no trouble would they share the price they pay as you don`t want to over charge, Thank you. This will after a few call give you a better idea what to charge. Asking on here will be of no use as every area is different with different prices.

Not quite, not that gullable when it comes to coughing up cash.   In say 30yrs (cant remember my first 10yrs of hair cuts but the photos are shocking looking back to late 70's and 80's 😂) of trying different hairdressers and paying a varied amount of prices, i know when im getting a good cut. Not too short, chunks missing, not cut straight etc etc the list goes on and on. Then 2yrs back i went to same place wife goes (forced to go cause I thought theres no way im paying double than 5 doors down) and no turning back since. A coffee whilst im waiting, a pleasant chat whilst being cut and a great job.  Very impressed and no i dont mind paying for a better quality service and a better quality cut.

Also chaps, my hairdresser is a couple of yrs older than my oldest daughter so absolutely nothing in it!!

But if you or I qive a quality service plus extra then i believe you charge more for it.
My customers like the fact I text before calling. They like the varied payment options and obviously they like the service i do and so for the complete package they are happy to pay more than what joe blogs down the road offers.

I disagree as prices vary so much. There is one window cleaner around here that charges £5 for a Victorian 3 bed semi. Within the bounds of reality you should decide what price you want to charge for the service and ignore what the competition charges. Besides it is very unusual for people to get competitive quotes for window cleaning.

I found out the prices in my area when I started. Unfortunately for me , all the Windy's charge £2.50 front , £5-7 full house (semi) . £10 for large detached with conservatory in my area. So I started there and soon got peed off with it and now I'm at least double what they charge
