I too struggle with this too high/ripping people off line of thought.
Surely you charge the going rate for the area?
It's not for us to second guess what the customer thinks, they may think what you feel is high, is reasonable.
To the O/P I would have charged £1 a hole and anything between £5 and £15 for the connie and then aim to do it as thoroughly as quickly as possible.
Hourly rates are for poor people

Don't understand this "price too high price too low" stuff, everyone cleans in different circumstances, cost of business to run etc surely you get what you can, you can always re-negotiate the estimate, then there's compactness of work, is the work scattered? I got criticized on a poor forum of doing £6 jobs, they didn't even ask what the work involved was? 5 an hour I do of these that's £30 an hour for work 1.5 miles away from my home as a self employed one man op, I still have kept the work cause I'm not ripping them off.

I have still got some £5 £6 houses on my round, the windows are tiny. Another house has slightly more and its £7.

I turn up park van at one end, and walk from house to house. I can do all of them within the hour and its a straight run in a line. £52.50

Yet when i say i got some houses at £5 people are like OMFG. I swear some cleaners want to just run me over when i say £5.

But they dont know the full SP

Yes i could put up the houses, but for an hours work £50 why?

[kempy]

Some big hitters on here £50 per hour
I'm surprised everyone on here aren't driving around in brand new vans and best equipment .

Nice one that

Some people would happily pay that. Others that quibble most probably quibble over everything in life or they've had someone really cheap before and think that's what they should pay.

Quoted a job today, big 5 bedroom house in a nice leafy private road all windows plus conservatory roof (plastic roof instead of glass) and exterior conservatory gutters. I quoted £45 once a month. She said its a lot more than her previous window cleaner, who incidentally is now unreliable and hasn't been for a while, then she says won't leave gate unlocked. I tactfully say that's why he doesn't come any more because he's realised he actually needs to make a living and not waste time on the tight people.

Keep quoting high because the ones that say yes will stick with you. Eventually you'll have a business with great customers who understand how a business works.

once you pass the 20 quid  barrier you get into cancelling territory (if its a "normal house"  )
