You mean you have got your first job , and havnt even given a price!!
 i cant really imagine , is your customer not bothered what you are charging ?
 surly they must have some idea, they could be in for a shock when you present your bill, on the other hand a pleasant surpise , if below the expected price ;D ;D

Depends on how good you are, how much training have you had, whats the job like, access, travel.

Many things to consider

I would normaly charge btween £65 & £75 but then I am good. ;)

So what did you charge her then?

Hi phil
It's just a straight foward job she's moving the furniture so room's almost clear,
as for training many moons ago worked for exclusive & OCS, and also NVQ assessor in general cleaning/floor work/deep cleans. I'm just moving in to carpet cleaning I'll be using the host . I was thinking of charging £50

Kev,
If you are just moving into carpet cleaning on a professional level, then you wont do it with a Host. That set up is only suitable for those rare one off jobs that MAY come by when the better methods for some reason may not be suitable. Agree with Mark £80 for HWE.
