Accident waiting to happen there  ::)  I do the same though, I had an existing customer ask me today whether I had done her con roof which is a similar size to that, no came the reply she then told me she thought it was in the pricing of the window all for £15 and that she didn't mind paying a little bit extra for it, soon put her straight.
For that one I'd want a minimum of £30 then at least £15 as long as done quarterly, I try and avoid them though even at those prices they seem to think your ripping them off.

"£85 for the whole conny"?...it's tiny!

It's 30ish minutes work...£20 top top top.

I would want around 60 - 70 euros to do that....remember it's not the time you take but the effort required, your time, equipment, tfr and all the other expenses you incure during your work day...


If just time was involved it would make prices far lower...

We are business's and we need to earn more than just what a job is really worth....

£75 minimum, no point doing them for peanuts charge proper prices and you can make a good side line of it for wet weather days

£20 for the roof is peanuts i`m sorry i don`t mean to put you down or be rude but do you think the homeowner thought that was expensive,if someone said to me clean that roof for £20 i`d think he was having a laugh.

If its done regular then €20 for the whole thing,.. 20 mins no problem, it is tiny!

If its a first clean, then €60 - €80 depending on how dirty it is.

I can't see the problem - most guys on here reckon they make £30 an hr window cleaning - so if it takes 45min to clean a con roof for £20 (=£27 an hr) then really he's not far off the mark, if he was to clean a couple more of them he'll get that down to 30mins easy I'm sure.

So why the big fuss?  

Central Window Cleaners - you say £75 minimum - and is that your Sierra in your avatar??  

Vision Tech - £80!  Well if you can get it then why not?  I can assure you there's very few parts of the country where you'll be able to charge that.

hi thanks for all the answers .the job was quite easy .but i thought was a bit low because i haven't done many con roofs.£20 is only for the roof not windows and frames.i think in the future i'll put my prices a bit up for con roofs but is quite a competition in the area.
