For me personally it is value for money ....generally i look at the cheapest and then the most expensive and then buy something priced in the middle eg ntto cheapest M&S dearest but buy at Tesco 

[vision tech]

can i point out to all that are talking about cons roofs
 and the price,i stated that i charged £80.00 for a complete
cons clean, ie, roof, frames, doors ,sills,and then cleaned the
windows trad, £80 was not a ripoff,
I am not a wfper.

At the end of the day I reckon that cons roof is 30 minutes work...£20 for 30 mins work? What's wrong with that?

Well, you can get more.

I don’t think it is about personal perception at all; the work has value to you and the customer.

You have to ask your self what are your real reasons for charging a lot less if you here of other window cleaners charging more.

What are the chances of you directly competing with another window cleaner for a residential conservatory roof clean?

There nothing clever charging £20 when the customer will accept a higher price. At least charge what the customer will have to pay if they did the work them selves, after that you might want to add a bit more for the time you save them because they don’t have to do it.

I repeat: £20 for 30 minutes work...what's wrong with that?

I don't especially care what others charge (or more accurately get away with). That's my rate...I'm not greedy.

In fact I like it that there are people who charge a whole lot more. Just means that I'll get (practically) any job I quote for and always earn a living.

So cheers guys I'm in your debt.  And avoid moving to Putney SW London...with me around you'll struggle to find custies.

Oh I forgot...here it's ladders only...shock horror

It dosen`t matter if you go round there and wave a magic wand at it and get it clean charge what the jobs worth,are you telling me a load of plastic windows on a house amount to 10k,no you wouldn`t but a stupid amount of people did and still pay it.The amount of time a job takes means nothing to me,i charge what i think the job is worth not £2 cos it`s takes 5 minutes,i`ve got to get there setup and get to the next job that in itself costs me money.

I would be worried if thats your attitude fella, you maybe cheap but cheap is not always good. One point I would like to make is other people quote my customers all the time and seem do to get the job, I quote and I seem to get more and more seems that not every customer is based on price alone they get a package within my prices and I guess they liek it.

As said before if you happy thats what matters, sod everyone else, but putting other down in a way because you charge less, maybe food for thought for you, as it is you that is losing out  we can all be busy fools if we wan to be

That cons roof is 30 minutes work. £20 with me.

I'm very sorry if that's a problem for you but don't let it worry you too much, because on a scale of 0-10 the chances of you competing for the same job as me are around minus 8.

I work on a quarterly basis, am approx a month behind, I haven't canvassed for 3 years, get around 5 calls a week from recs and turn most down unless the job really suits (eg it's in a road I do anyway).

Fool? Probably.
Busy? Oh yeah baby

Love it, fair play to you m8,
No problem with me at all by the way, and seems you in a nice position.
