£35 - £40 including the veluxe if WFP.
Maybe more for first clean.

I tend to go up a bit on windows like that because I reckon that if anyone else is going to compete for the job, they will more than likely be cleaning the traditional way and such windows can be time consuming if cleaned like that.  I would also make a point of including the veluxe and emphasising it because most trad cleaners wouldn't bother with it.  Most of the trad cleaners I've met might have a trad pole, but not of enough length to do the veluxe.
Bear in mind that this one could be a bit of a pain if they go out and leave any windows open as you cant push them shut from the ground very easily.

So let me get this right, if I'm WFP it would be half hour clean, at 20 quid. Where as if I'm trad it would take twice as long, so 20 quid would be a rubbish price?
So is price set by which method you use? Is that good business sense? Or have I missed the point?

I'm confused, let's say I've got a custy that takes 15 mins trad, she costs 10 quid. Then if I swap to WFP and this "could" make me faster, do I charge less or what? ???

yea prob the same. not being funny but the amount of shiners out and about someone would prob do it for a tenner. i have been canvassing lately in blackheath which is a posh area and there are w/c's charging £10-15 pound for houses like this. too much competition now

I'd first ask how regular they wanted the Job done, then I would work on a price and adjust accordingly, if it was a regular (6 weekly for me) then £50 wfp
