I know.....

Increase you Price by 100% and then lose 50% of your customers, then you wont have to do as much work..

i dont think the current economic climate is the greatest environment in which to be sacking customers off at that rate, but if you do let me know, i will have them :)

If you increase your prices by 100% you won't lose 50%.

More like 95%.

I have to agree there 100% increase unless you dont care if they leave would be 110% madness because you would lose more than you keep

the way you can increase your takings is by cleaning fascia boards at 2 monthly intervals after doing the initinal clean they are a stroll in the park just a quick brush over , 1st clean charge a good rate , then charge a fixed rate of say £10 per 2 months , £10 minght not be a lot but its money for a quick brush over , ive increased my mates income over the last 2 weeks by £1800 with a regular fascia board clean , you will be surprised how many people want this done .

What do you mean when you say a quick brush over? I assume you are WFP.

If trad then they need wiping with a soapy cloth and then drying a couple of times with dry cloths, including the underside of the gutters and the soffits this is a lengthy job even at every 2 months.

, initial clean do all the lot , then do just the fascia and front edge of gutter if you notice any muck build up .

yes mate im wfp , if trad use a extension pole with a applicator , if you keep the fronts clean its really rare that you get dirt build up on the bottoms of gutter and soffit .
