I tend to charge about £11 - £12 for basic 3 bed semi with no access hassles.  I do still have 3 that I've been cleaning for years where I charge £8 (from before I slapped on my £10 minimum for new work).  However, even with these £8ers, I can be taking 15 minutes from arriving to pulling away so it's hardly a disaster.  If I pushed myself, I could probably maage in 10 or 11 minutes so long as thewre was no bird poo baked on anywhere.   I just don't give them an elaborate service but it's certainly sufficient.

Thanks for the advise guys. SunshineCleaning i have to agree that your advise is top notch and i think that is the way i will go.

I will build a relationship with the customers over the next few months and then be honest with them and increase the prices. I have already decided that new customers will be on the todays prices.

I know that the round has not had a price increase since it was started 5 years ago so i can explain that costs for running a business have gone up in those years.Just a word of warning, don't say its just due to running costs as in truth running costs wont have doubled. Say that it was obviously priced too low to start with and, as amayze said, was prob the reason he wanted rid. I would do the windows no more that twice at the old rate, then draft a short letter a week later to drop off. Remember when you buy work, you buy a customer database of potential sales. Treat them openly with respect and honesty and you can have customers who will use no-one else.

At the end of the day the price isn't that important, you wanted more work and you've got it. its still better to work a day for low money than sit at home and earn nothing.

As Simon said its better than nowt.
