Been doing ok lately with my pricing and messed up on two yesterday 

1st one was a new customer who moved into a close where I do another 6 houses ... had the house extended with a wrap around extension so quite a few windows ... didnt look close enough though as the dust was terrible so first clean was in fact a builders clean near enough but no cement thankfully only charged her a fiver on top on normal rate so no big mistake going foward as all now clean   

2nd mistake oldish house with geogian windows ..... they take forever so next time their all getting poled as too long by trad methods.

Live and learn

It's crazy but I'm still getting it wrong on the odd house. I'm finding though that you can't really tell until you've cleaned a couple of times. Some big pads with lots of windows have easy access and you can fly round them, whereas some smaller with tricky access are a pain and may be cheaper but there is more faffing around to get them done.

ive only been cleaning 2 years and some of my early ones i priced wrong.the owners sort of bargained  me down and i knew no better .  these are what should have been 18 quid instead i said 12 and i feel bad everytime i do them.baywindows+conny 

 i think in the springtime iv got to put it to them  or just drop them   im not sure yet how i can 

  ive even started rushing these houses as quick as i can, sloppy job perhaps in the corners but the insides are filthy , rarely if ever cleaned  but a Merc on the driveway

Dont be afraid to put jobs up to there proper price!

Ive been holding back doing it for months on 2 bungalows next to each other.
so today i'd had enough of feeling bitter everytime i do them and i put the prices up and they just said "yes thats fine" makes me feel like i should have done it long ago!

i was also getting to the stage of doinf a sloppy job on them but thats not my style and goes against the grain woth me!
someone on here said ot perfect not long back on a thread...

"Dont comprimise on price or standard of quality!" that about sums it up i recon! its my new golden rule as i never want to be a two bob window cleaner, so if they want cheap work and a low price there talking to the wrong kind of w.c! and were both wasting each others time!

peace out.

GB - how high did you put it up by ?  did you just say it was an annual increase 

  i also have a few that should really be 12 quid or thereabouts but i said 9 ,(i was desperate at the time to build a round) and when i get paid they usually give me a tip ,rounding it up to 10 .

@ ewan i was doing them for a little over a year, not 2 months!

i increased them from 5.50 to 10! one fell swoop!

im not messing about with people anymore they take my price or find a doley dinner time pub hike window cleaner
ive got about another 3 to dump or vastly up the prices for next week!  once you start you cant stop lol

peace.
