[Scrimble]

gutter clearing is a great earner and with a vac its easy!

[nathankaye]

As above. If charge properly than I dont have a problem doing so, but I dont jump through hoops to do so. As in, I fit them into my schedule

[The Jester of Wibbly]

I stay well clear of builder cleans.  Others add-ons are fine but price high. So if price is agreed it's a nice earner. If they Don't, then nothing lost.

Oh....and I stay away from cold cleans 

[Marc Stock]

Inside cleaning can be very lucrative.

All i do is window cleaning ; render washing, upvc washing.

I discourage conservatory roofs. I hate them.

I dont clear gutters either, no money in it.

Same!

Whoohoo

Great minds eh,

Add ons I do do are fsg cleaning, conny roofs.

I still have a pressure washer but not come across a job worth getting it out for, for ages.

[mufcglen]

i made a decision to cut back last year on extras as all i felt i was doing was making myself more stressed being late on the windows and ive got plenty of that to be going on with so i stopped con roofs,gutters fascias etc.
gutters was a tough one as i used to earn some easy money on those generally but every now and then youd rock up and see them absolutely blocked solid, even with the guttervac they took time to clear.
strictly windows now and im trying to avoid internals as well, splash and dash grab the dosh

Really..? Perhaps you're not pricing correctly?

[alank]

Windows only from now. If add ons come in now I will just pass them on

Well id rather blast through a bunch of houses at £30 a pop than spend a half day or more for £200 on one house, being covered in dirt, and wrestling with a huge gutter vac.

I might consider a sideline business StockSuck.    clearing out gutters and drains. Then that would be worth it

i havent got a vac and i dont want one either!

i always hated gutter clearing from ladders when i used to do them years ago( its dangerous too),inside conny roof cleaning and insides generally are a PITA so i avoid them and builders clean are just hard work so i skip them too.....

[P @ F]

Only external windows for me , thats it !

Mark there is money in it, just charge more.

I actually love gutter clearing because it’s so easy and quick, I charge £40 a side. So usually £80 for a standard 3 bed semi. It takes less than an hour. (Charge more on bigger houses obviously)

Now probably only 60% if people will take me up on that price. So when they do it’s a great earner! If they say no, that’s that’s fine, plenty of window cleaning to be done 

As for cleaning facias and gutters, now that I hate. So I change ridiculous sums. Usually £250 for a 3 bed semi. Rarely do I get the job, but when I do, (usually only a few a year) it’s worth it! Long gone are the days when I first started and used to charge £40 or £50. No way anymore. Too much window cleaning work to price low for add ons!

So there is great money in it, but only if you charge a high price

[AuRavelling79]

Generally it's external windows only.

But I have two monthly commercials which have the insides done at the same time too. Also a handful of commercials that on request have the insides done.

I quite like them for showery/rainy/cold days.

I do the occasional conny roof of existing custies from time to time.

Gutters I pass on to DtM who uses my Guttervac. I charge him a modest fee per month for all the water he needs plus unlimited use of my trailer, guttervac and generator.

Likewise, but I do have a couple of exceptions for inside window cleaning.  In and out is the best part of a day on both of them so it is viable.

[robbo333]

I'd love to be windows only, but i've made a 'rod for my own back'.
For my existing customers, I do FSG cleans, connie cleans (not so much insides, but some), gutter clearing (bungalows only) and inside cleans.
Every year the same custies come back to me for the above, some have FSG, some have connies etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, the money is better than windows (but ideally it would be more) but I can't be bothered to do them as I have loads of work.
However, I don't want to say no, because I don't want the let them down. Also, I don't want to hike the price right up because they would think i'm taking the p155.
In my tiny office (cot room for those who remember Slade) I have a whiteboard. Between March and September it is full of extra work. Don't get me wrong i'm not complaining...but then again I actually am!

No problem with well-priced FSG.  It's the gutter clearing that's an issue as I don't intend to invest in a gutter vac and I won't be doing it from a ladder.

"i used to offer gutter clearing but after a ladder fall i wont be doing them anymore"...just say this to existing customers mate.ive been saying it for years and very rarely get asked now.as for conny roofs and f/s/g.i still offer these and charge well for them.dont offer your "old" price from a few years ago when they ask again.at least add a tenner extra on or £20.....

the only time i relent for inside window cleaning is the odd kitchen window for one or two of my old dears....

I like that. I'll give it a go.

[Johnny B]

My bread and butter is obviously outside windows, but I'm happy to do insides if required. I have a double glazing/conservatory showroom where that I clean all the display pieces. Great little job.

I also do fsg and gutter clearing.

Having a variety of services keeps things interesting.
