size is not everything it is the money you earn that means alot, what you need, I need and what others need is very different .

dont look for size look at money we can all be busy fools if we want, money makes the world go round can pay fuel costs  >:(

320 customers in a 8 week period (40 per week) will see me living and working happy....This is based upon my 'average' houses and prices....still a way to go but onwards and upwards.

I am in the north west and I would be charging £10.00 - £11.00 for that size. Others on here will say you should be charging Ronaldos weekly wage but if I asked any more than that I would be laughed at. Where you are in the country has alot to do with what you can charge.

120 is really good for 6 weeks work. Well done!

Do you employ anybody to get through that many or is it all on your own. If on your own I think I need to be looking at revising my 300 target.

I have just started full time and have about 150 customers, most 4 weekly, but some 8 weekly. Doing about 40 a week leaves me with time to counter any weather issues. I aim to add another 50 or so over the next few months.

I have about 350 done over a period of 5-6 weeks my average semi price is £5-6 which is too cheap I know,once the fuel increases again in the autumn I'll be increasing the prices. Can't do it now as still on the sick and if I put prices up after keeping custies waiting for 6weeks its taking the p*** rather.

a semi of that size would be £10.00 minimum, but then look at the type of area. If its a council estate that would be high, if its a private estate full of beemas put another fiver on

Depends on the size of the conservatory. Small conservatory about £2-3, but a larger one about £5.

Complete opposite if you ask me,i would rather do a third of that and earn the same if not more.A busy fool comes to mind again,as said it`s not how many you do it`s what you end up with at the end of the week that counts everytime.

Established window cleaners can earn £45 – 65 ph.

I don't disbelieve you, but I think these figures are incredibly high. I reckon most window cleaners will be earning a lot less.

Mike, I am not talking about the whole house, or complete conservatory clean, just the conservatory windows.

I have one conservatory that takes me about 5 minutes. I have another that takes me about double that and they are priced on the £2 - £5 basis. It works out quite well for me.

BTW, I am not talking about conservatories that would look at home in Kew Gardens, just your average conservatory on your modern house.  ;D
