Ive got plenty of 3 bed semis at £3 and some are still £2.50. On my own i can rattle off 10 in an hour. Trad all the way still. I wish i could charge £25 but they wouldnt go for it.

Hi guys

I have been reading this section with interest.
I just cant understand how some window cleaners can charge £ 3.00, £10.00 or even £15.00 for a house,
Our minimum charge is £30.00 and that’s not for a house, that’s just for few windows on a flat. other wise we just don’t bother, if you really work it out, by the time you have paid, petrol to get to your job, wear and tear of your car or van, your equipment which time to time you have to re new, tax on you car or van, insurance for business and  your car or van, tax on your business, payment for your accountant, advertising plus other expenses and   that’s  just your business expense, after that you have to consider you Owen out going, as well .
So please do yourself a favour and charge a little more.

Regards

Bosh

£50 an hour traditional or wfp? I'd probably be £60 an hour wfp though, but £30 trad.

And yea London you'd probably get away with it. How much does it cost to rent/buy a house there? Also, all my work is in  a 5 mile radius, don't have to travel much. :)
