well i priced it @ £8.50 6 windows in total @ £1 per window as they are all easy access and £2.50 for the porch.

He was shocked as his window cleaner only charges £5.50

How can you compete with that  ???

The people who have already said they'd charge more on this post so far, and thats pretty much all of them, will be asking the same thing about you!

I really wish i could but i haven't been going long and i need all the work i can get. so at the moment and until i get to the stage when i can be fussy and not care if I get it or not i have to price my work to get it.

I price about the same as you Mark. I guess it depends whereabouts you live but if I priced at £1.50 - £2.00 for a first floor window one of  two things would happen

1. I'd pick up no work
2. If I did pick up work I would earn easily over £100k a year and I do mean easily
