£25 every 8 weeks. £30 first clean.
It's a game of three halves!

Before reading the replies, I reckoned on £23 for a 6 weekly.  This would go to £34.50 for 12 weekly (I don't do 8 weekly unless a 6 weekly ends up getting delayed).
However, if you were calling the bit of facia on the top bays part of the regular framework (up to the lead), then it would be a bit more.  Those little flat roof type bits can be a major pain with runs when there is no guttering.  Indeed I think I would point out to the customer that ingrained run marks may not come off.

mattflash i think your deluded mate! ;D ;D ;Dthere is no way you would clean that property in 15 mins first clean!it would take at least and hour IMO.then probably around 30-40 mins from pulling up to driving away on maintenance cleans.

if you were tradding it how much then?£35-£40?

window cleaning has definitely changed!wfp has made awkward bigger work cheaper!!
price higher/work harder!

It sounds like we have a similar view on this one Daz.  I was thinking 35 minutes for maintenance cleans to do it well.  If in a hurry and doing glass only - maybe 25 at a reasonable pace.  It's reasonably straightforward but those steps around the side would slow me down a bit as I would need to check my footing more.
I don't doubt that a maintenance clean could be done in 15 minutes.  However, this would be at a pace that I personally would struggle to sustain.  I don't see the point of rushing around, risking an accident on steps etc., just to gain a few minutes - and then having to take an extra break later because I've been working faster than I'm comfortable with.

honestly no less than £25 cos ive got jobs at £25 smaller than this! but i'd like to think i'd get £28 to £30! im in east mids by the way

Im in the east mids as well and I wouldnt dare charge so much Id get laughed at, Id say £15 tops,
I once got told I was having a laugh for quoting £8.50 for a 3 bed semi with small extention I thought it was a fair price, she said "your having a laugh my old window cleaner charged £3.50" I just said ok then and went.
If your getting £25-£30 for houses like that well done to ya.

And some one who asked me what Id charge to do it trad I wouldnt touch it using a ladder looks deadly.

no disrispect mate but you can get more, i do! your underselling yourself brother!

You might think Im cheap but Im one of the more expensive ones round me I get undercut on some or just get turned away for being to dear  :(

no mate your prices sound about bang on, someone once said on here...

if your getting a 50% take up on canvassing your prices are bang on! if less your too dear. if more your too cheap!

So the moral of the story is in business you have to excpct to be dearer than some and cheaper than other!

hmm i count 6 bay windows each bay has 12 windows i figure 72 pieces of glass on these bays only they will all need to be brushed,rinsed .not to mention all the rest its hard sometimes to get it right you look at it and think ye i can do that in decent time, and its well easy to under price it.

Quote alot of glass however these days i find new work a little bit price sensitive
i think £25 - £30 is fair,

its easy for me sitting here pricing but i bet i would have said something like £20 or £22 just to be on the safe side of getting the job which is silly.

but yea i think £25-£30 is spot on! good going!
