Quote from: simon knight on May 30, 2009, 06:54:19 pmAt 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.

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
NWH, Window washers, Ewan etc etc...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
