Thought all WMC's were cheap. Saw 2 lads cleaning it other day. Reckon they've got loads in Birdwell have all bar 6 on my street.

set that as your target then it will be possible mate, if windys go for it, they normally always get there in the end

We aren't kidding GB. The round I've taken over averages £5 per house. Yes I know they want putting up and now I've been at it a few months I will but not by much. I know plenty of people round here paying less than £4 for a 3 bed semi

problem is that you ve taken over another round.   if you canvas your own work you can charge your prices.  unfortunately its hard to buy work and put your prices up.  the customers wont accept it.

Yep your right no way I'll be able to up prices as much as I like, already dropped a few that were ridiculous.

Hi   DG.

If not said already (not read all posts :)

Push out the frequency so it allows you to charge £10 minimum.

hope this is say 8 weekly and not 12

you will need more work obviously, go out canvassing as if your starting again from scratch, are you wfp?

tell custy your different as yoy clean frames panes and sills and windows stay cleaner for longer hence 8 week clean.

when you have alot of work convert existing custy's to 8 weeks.

lee.
Not easy i know but the best things aren't
good luck

it,s funny how a lot of people on here are saying you will struggle to do £500 a week,yet a lot of em are saying they earn £45 per hr,which means you should do your 500 by weds.....

Too right, gave one woman a price for an extended semi yesterday which i'm guessing is 4 bed. £8 was the price, she looked at me like I'd p***ed on her kids at xmas. Asked her what she paid her last windy £4 she said but had sacked him for doing a bad job. Said she can't get anyone to do them now, wonder why? Lol Anyway told her to see if she can get anyone cheaper if not give me a call

They are not the same people saying that though.

Surely, people charging these prices, have got to be dolers
You cant run a business on them prices

[basiljohn]

Dont just bin silly prices, talk to the customer and tell them that you can't clean them for that price and that you are now charging x amount you will be surprised at the ones that will accept the new increase if not what have you lost if you were going to bin them anyway.
I have just experienced the same with some work I bought, put them up £1/£2 on the first clean, some even said they thought they were cheap.
I'm next door in Sheffield.

I only binned a handful of 5 bed detached all hard to reach lead windows that I couldn't do safely alone. They were around £4-5 a go. I would need to at least treble the price to make it worthwhile can't see the custy accepting that. Already replaced them with smaller houses for more money.
