Out of interest?
« on: March 13, 2007, 03:03:10 pm »
Hi there people what another lovely day it is.

The picture below is the front of a house i clean in Saltash Cornwall just wondered what other people would charge for it.

The back is the same as the front. Cleaned on a 4 weekly cycle.

I’ve been cleaning this place for 5 years now and i used to charge £4.00 front and back  :o.

Now I’m charging £7.00 slowly getting the price up  >:(

Under my current pricing scheme i charge £1 a window, so i consider each of the big panes a window 16 panes = £16

And i would charge £1 for the doors, 2 doors = £2

Total £18 which i think is a bit on the high side so i charge 50p a window which the whole house comes to £10. I’ve quoted a few of these at £10 and did not get a single one.

Today i quoted 2 of them instead of trying £10 i tried my minimum price £8 and i got them both.

Where in the country are you and what would you charge?

They look like £8.00 houses to me

If it were a posher estate then maybe go for £10.00

I know guys who are doing similar for £4.00  so i just leave them to it and go somewhere else

1st clean = £15.00
4 weekly clean = £10.00 = £2.50 per week
6 weekly clean = £13.00 = £2.16 per week

£8 for me, but would say I'll do the frames as well all in for a tenner.
I know with wfp you do the frames anyway but for a new potential customer it sounds good and they often go for the frames.

In Basildon Essex £10 would be average, but I know some who would charge £15 and others that would charge £6 and all in the same area.

:o ;D ;D No Rich, Just a good businessman, if I can up my price by a couple of pounds offering a service that I do and complete, then does that make me a con-man?? or a good businessman :D ;)
