I quoted for a job at £50, I was told that their current window cleaner charges £8!!!!!! :o
But unbelievably she accepted my quote as she said her other wc does a terrible job, but despite this she feels sorry for him and still keeps him on, so she has 2 window cleaners, except she pays him £8 and me £50!! ;D

She actually pays £58, as she has 2 window cleaners because she feels sorry for the other one and can't bring herself to get rid of him. It is a large house and for a good job including frames & sills £50 is about right in my opinion. ;)

Got a monthly £22, the old guy only charged £6!!

Recently got a huge old three floor edwardian house sitting on land, £65 every six weeks. The old boy used to charge £25. 24 georgian sash over three floors 30ft+ and side windows.  :o :o

I dont mind when they say "my old w/c only charged" thats were you come in with the patter and the USP's ;)

He dosn't actually clean them! he just pushes the dirt about on the glass with an old scrim, I think he only takes about 15mins, I'm there for an hour and clean them properly including frames and sills 8)
