Wish i could move duncan tbh , its really hard going round here, too many cheap window cleaners about and yorkshire folk are tight as they come.

Must be nice to work in an affluent village down south with no competition.
Same as mate. Loads of windys at silly prices.
Got a customers in a new estate. I charge him £10. Someone else quoted him £5 WFP. That's that estate out then. Don't get me wrong. Its an easy clean, but I keep my prices on the top end.
If everyone did the same. All our lives would be better

I'm about £10-£12 for an average semi, Dont do much for less than a tenner. I don't think that's extortionate but struggle to get that.  Next door neighbour pays £4.50  ???

Adam....I do a lot of 3 bed semis nearly all in the same half mile diameter of my house....I charge less than £10 per semi and can easily knock out £30 per hour....90% of the round though is very compact.
I very much doubt there are many semis owners round here pay £20 per month for window cleaning unless they have a massive conservatory.



Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Ive lower prices before to get work but I always end up regretting it whilst doing it.

My work isn't compact but at my prices I too do about 30 an hour. On more compact work (which tends to be canvassed work I can hit 40 an hour)

Just need more of it!
