i do charge more on monthlys but that rule dosnt run right through my work, its a relitively new rule so its more on newer work...   i have to admit my prices are not the greatest and no where near compare to other peoples prices but they still pay the bills etc etc.... i still have £2 jobs (terrible)

nope mate same price its just what people expect round my way but must admit my higher priced work tends to be monthly although not always i have nice priced jobs want doing fortnightly and before you ask it is wfp jobs as well as trad jobs, i have one custy wants done weekly but its a right pain trying to do it so i do it fortnightly and when not to busy weekly and she is happy with that. but then she is a bit obbessed with clean windows

I let my customers decide as well, I have 3 weekly 4 weekly 6weekly etc, about 60% of my work is one off or so infrequent that I dont put them on my round.

seriously though if when giving a quote you give your price and say fortnightly ok, you would be suprised how many say yes but if they hesitate follow up with i can do 4 weekly as well its up to you.i only do it now if in an area that i already have fortnightly work.

bahhh

down here in wales they only go for monthly....this 2 weekly thing seems to be a northern thing, it sounds good though...as the clean must be a bit quicker

how many times have you cleaned a house and when you have gone back collecting theres a big bird dropping down the window,if you are 8 weekly the customer has to look at that for 7  weeks so its not a questin of how dirty the windows get
agree there again because i am a nice guy ive often recleaned one window when collecting because of that as long as its down stairs and can be reached from the deck and of course they are a well paying custy. i had a 8 weekly custy watched me clean their neighbours every 4 weeks and eventually caved in becaue of bird droppings

Im mainly4 weekly and only have a few 8 weekly, been asked to do 6 weekly but said its 4 or 8, as it wouldnt fit into the round at 6 as id be returning to a road just to do 1 house, but theres no way i could to 2 weekly as there bill would be about £400 over the year
