My minimum price is £25, I don't like messing about with little £10 jobs anymore!!
Oh Bushpig, we've missed you!
Like to see you charge £25 for a small semi and get the job! Come on! ;D

Hi Squealer, my old sparring partner!! That's the point... I don't want any small semi's on my round (unless they are prepared to pay £25 that is!!) I only want high end quality work!!!  ;)
Ha ha! Fair enough mate. Good to see you again anyway. ;)

I think you've got to use some common sense with regards to having a minimum price.  A friend of mine does many of our town centre shops and some of those are just a few quid, ranging to some nicer jobs, but they'll be for a few windows and the work is weekly mostly, and extremely compact.

He can start work really early and by 10.00 am he's turned over a good wadge; in any weather almost.

Also if you do rural houses at £25 a minimum price, and I have quite a few days work like this, it would be daft to try and charge £25 for a small bungalow which you know you won't get if that property is adjacent to a current customer whom you're charging £25+ plus for.

I go on the £1 per window rule too in most cases, sometimes though i can sense the area and drop it slightly to accomodate, my cheapest job is £5

I have 350 customers, and about half of them are £25 or over... I am slowly getting rid of all my rubbish little jobs, and replacing them with decent ones!!!  :)
