I look at  number and awkwardness of windows,
Access and whether the customer seems genuine (that takes the nouse of an older guy like me😊)
If it's a very dirty job and the person seems hesitant I price high for 1st clean.
If I really want the job I'll price at the  price level of my current work, per hour.
If I'm not really fussed I'll price very high.
Also it depends on the mood I'm in.
If not good I'll go ridiculously high, sometimes that works😂
I'm grumpy so it depends what day of the week it is as well.
If its in certain parts of town I just say "it's not my patch" 😂😂😂

i agree...your most sensible post for a while mate.... ;)

the only exception is i NEVER price ridiculously high to any potential customer...im not into ripping people off...a fair price for a good job is sufficient for me....

It also keeps your head right, in other words you never have to do work for less money which is what some these guys are actually doing. your best price should always be your only price.

I didn't think it was that sensible Daz, I have never been able to help myself, my manager at ICI used to say that I was flippant all the time.
Too much monty python back in the seventies I guess
Anyway I meant this one about pricing 100%, it really depends what mood I'm in at the time.
BTW I'm also fickle, childish and immature 😂😂😅

I think

How long will it take
How far is it from other work

Generally just think of a number and add a bit on.

I've done it this way as well ;D

I was just on Facebook and someone was saying how they underpriced a job “especially as it was in a row filled with millionaires”.

I’ve never quoted more because of the car on the drive or because of the perceived wealth of the owner, I just quote what I think is the right price.

So do you look at the car on the drive and charge accordingly?

For some, however, i can see how this might give them the confidence to ask for an higher price (as long as they are not working benefit street 😂😂)
