I can't believe some of the prices im seeing on here for an easy house like that.
Im in the south but if i jump in quoting £20 - £25 quid i would be told to bugger off.

£9-£12 max

I couldn't imagine charging £20 but then again different parts of the country command different prices.

There is no way that I would charge any less than £20 for this job, more if it was leaded. Be confident and tell them your price and say that it includes frames and sills. If you don't try you don't get, if everybody accepts your price you are too cheap. At the end of the day a window cleaner on his own can only handle a certain amount of customers, so you might as well make them well paying customers.
If you price high and they think its too much you can always drop the price, but once you have given a low price it is difficult to put it up! and you may be surprised at how many will say yes! :)

Well said!

I get fed-up of other window cleaners moaning that we charge too much down here in the South!

I charge higher prices because I know I can get the jobs at the prices I charge... What would be the point in me quoting lower and loosing out on money?

Could you sustain that sort of pace all day long?
I reckon I could do it in 15 minutes trad but no way could I keep that up all day.
Mind you, I'm a fat git and nudging 50.

To be honest I wouldn't even attempt it trad these days.  I would turn it down because of the windows above the porch setup.  Those windows  are one of the strong reasons why I opted for wfp.  I would take it on now wfp at the same price.

Doing it trad would take me about 25 minutes.  Risking my neck on some windows.
Doing it wfp?  Safely and thoroughly..10-15 minutes.
