I don't feel the need to charge more; it's so much quicker that I earn more any way.

I don't charge any less though either; why would I try to improve my business and work quality and then charge less for the service offered??

Quite odd!!

The reason I charge less for newly priced georgian jobs is I cannot justify £90.00 an hour on regular work. For me most Georgian jobs would seem to come in at that kind of figure in total, I find it hard to charge that. for an hours work. Im happy with less.

Pardon?

Charge the same,

Maybe even less if possible. Being competitive yet still making a killing is the key

:)Thank you, at last someone on my wave length! 
Exactly why would you improve your service then charge less 

[Sir Squeaky]

My yearly outgoings have quadrupled, this is another reason for price increases!
Each payment on filters,  DI Resin, salt, new poles, brushes etc
Has to be "Factored in"

You chose to do that.
You can't take it out on the customer.

Think I'll buy a Ferrari and put all my prices up... :

I think that by and large my price structure stays the same, though in truth it has lowered on georgian work because of the sheer speed of doing them with WFP compared to trad.
Another point to consider is that few will be able to earn as much trad on georgian work as on windows that can be squeegeed...you simply cannot charge enough doing them trad to compare favourably with squeegee work, but with WFP there is hardly any difference in the time taken to clean a georgian window as there is a normal casement window.

Prior to WFP my prices for georgian work were far higher than they would be for squeegee work, but as a georgian window takes at the very very least 3 times as long to clean than a similar sized squeegee window.
But now as there is hardly any difference in time taken due to using WFP I unconsciously price such work not much more expensively than ordinary casement windows!

I think it is hard to justify increasing your overall price due to WFP, most of us who changed over to WFP were probably oversubscribed with work when Trad anyway, ergo you now have the capability of getting all your work done on time, with less effort and shorter hours, which of course means that your overall turnover will have increased accordingly.

I did put my prices up on the jobs where I was cleaning extra windows, like the ones over cons, people were more than happy to pay for the extra windows.
Personally, I don't think that right now is a good time to be thinking of price increases, I've lost a few lately and it's taken the wind out of my sails.
