i wouldn't do the 3 monthly either. if its a £10 house i add an extra £3 on the price if they change to 2 monthly £11-£15 i add £4 and £16-£20 i add £5 . Have done this for about a year now and never had a problem with it just wished i had started doing it earlier.

I have a customer that I do three monthly. Her windows I dont charge any more than a 1 monthly. I clean in her road every month an her windows every three months are still the cleanest?

I do very few 3 monthly work
My reasoning is that if they have them done that frequently then they may as well not have them done at all

unless its a big house with loads of windows that is out in the middle of no where and then they don't seem to be that dirty

but the run of the mill stuff latest 8 weeks

Double for 12 weekly a little more for 8 weekly than that of 4 weekly, I do not work monthly as do not ever work window cleaning on sundays and monthly you would have to or lose money (losing money seems to hurt me)

so if he asked you to do them every 2 weeks would you reduce the price as there would be less dirt on  ;D ;D

Work it out - do you need the money? Yes, do it, it's all money coming in. No not really (£40 per year take off ALL your expenses comes down to peanuts) drop like a stone.
