Conservatory cleans. Who does them?
« on: October 03, 2020, 10:11:55 am »
Who does them and how much do you charge? I used to do quite a few but over time, decided I hated doing them. Irritated my shoulder a bit  (Virosol and wfp) and although the results were v good just didn’t enjoy it.
This might be because I never charged top dollar. I’m thinking of offering the service again but starting at £200.
Those of you who do a decent number of them, what sort of prices do you demand?

£200 in the North East would equate to never cleaning one again. A customer got a shock when I quoted £55 to clean the glass roof of one.  ;D

Even in commuter belt Surrey I charge £60 on average. ..They don't take that long. I use a big set of sturdy steps to get above them.

for £200 i think you would have to clean the inside of the roof as well as the outside.......

i will clean the odd  outside roof for existing customers......prices usually start from £50 ...this normally puts most customers off for some reason as they think itll only take you 10 mins..... ::)roll......suits me as i cant be bothered with em  these days...

i much prefer to just clean my normal regular window cleaning jobs then head home.....
price higher/work harder!

£200? Go for it, it’s your call.
You hated doing them, don’t do any now, but at £200 if you did 2 a year in 2 or 3 hours a go, you may start enjoying them.
Charge what you want not what people think
I don’t offer this service

I have always suggested customers get a quote from Thomas Sanderson and we will do it for  half there price outside only for  roof on a small one starts from £65 . For a full clean fir the whole of a conservatory inside and out including all door shuts and window closers would start from £350 upwards , Ime not keen doing insides but if the price is right we will do them Ime guessing we get 65% of the ones we quote , I think for  years I was way to cheap , won’t be making that mistake again .

Yeah they get the odd free few bits cleaned when they are the ones that look after me,a 45 quid job gets nothing for free I’m afraid,come on now I’m only there 15 minutes lol.

Stopped doing them a few months ago as I hate doing them.

Always lost money on them compared to the time I could bang out regular windows.

If you are losing money cleaning them it’s down to the way you price them.

£60 average in the south east you are a fool, I bet your customers are laughing at you behind your back charging so cheap
