[AC Window Cleaning]

I do the front and side of a bungalow-2 small 5sided bays with leaded top lights and a 3 sided bay at the side which is 5 sections of glass.
I underpriced it upon canvassing at £5 but dont mind as it only takes about 10mins and the lady is sound and pays as soon as i arrive every time.
Anyway todays clean she passed me a slip of paper-and i mean a slip of paper (think kingsize rizla packet) with a "window and door cleaning service £3.50p -07xxxxxxxxx"
Pen written aswell
£3.50?!! whats wrong with people??!!
Doesnt anybody wanna earn any money?! lol
Seriously though,it worries me sometimes,i often wonder what the future holds when folk are putting in prices that are beating an underquote FFS!!

[Lee Gilroy]

[H2GoKent]

One of you is gonna get fired.

It doesn't bother me if someone is doing it for stupid money.
It can be a bit of a concern if someone is slightly less though.  However, if the difference is small, most will stick with what they know.

Dont get me wrong i dont mind competition,everyone has a right to canvas,i mean theyre not to know they already have a Wc.
The point was,it can drive prices down in certain areas.

It can drive prices down, but usually they are doing it for beer money and will soon NOT go back

lost one today i charge £8.00 she says she got it cheaper and i thought £8.00 was cheap ah well

[EandM]

We have nothing  under £10.

[richard jagger]

I print all my own stationary including business cards I have a card saying we re-clean badly cleaned windows with our details and I give them to customer who rejects my quote or if they leave for cheaper priced work. We also put our 24 hour clean guarantee at the bottom.

Ive been in the area again today and one of my £7 bungalows priced up at........yep you guessed it £3.50 lol

[Londoner]

You said yourself the first bungalow takes 10 minutes. This is going to happen a lot more, there are people out there who will see £3.50 for a 10 min job as good money.

[Pope vader]

think about it this way, most people are on 6 - 8 ph and we do 10 mins work and ask for £10 and we wonder why they go with some one cheaper

[Flash..]

I dont know anyone that is self employed earning 6-8 ph, employed maybe but not self employed.

my average price is between 6-7 and i have high price jobs, which i have nothing but probs with,  wanting to go 2 monthly or leave it till then can be bothered as wc is not a priority for a lot of people, or leave it this month

[AC Window Cleaning]

In an area where the average bung is £6 and thats 4 different companies i know of inc myself who price at that,why charge that little??
With overheads i have/most have couldnt do that,hell 4 of them at 3.50 is 14quid an hour,after diesel,insurance,tax,mot/repairs,public liabilty,water,detergent,gear etc etc and all the other outgoings-you would be working for minimum wage guaranteed.Whats the point?!

[Dave66]

excactly...

average prices £9

[AC Window Cleaning]

Lets remember yeah £20 an hour may sound awesome to some and "well thats average/going rate/trash",but lets not forget after the stuff i said in my previous post it isnt anywhere near that...
So its NEVER £3.50 for 10mins etc unless your on a bmx,with stolen gear and a pogo stick
