Yes £10 for the front easily and £12-15 for the rear included. Windows doors, frames and seals for £10 is a bargain to the homeowner.
You undersell yourself joey.. Think outside the box and do more than your competition.
Trust me.

[Joey Eastwood]

Oh you are pricing for the frames too?? For that i charge double so £8 front and £12 all round, were not far off then, i assumed you meant glass clean and sill wipe which is the majority of my work! Haha

Joey look at the old post i reserected from 2005 of min charges for then.

[Joey Eastwood]

Trust me.

I even know people who are charging £3 fronts and 5er all round lol... I think region to region there's a big price gap. I know some pole cleaners who charge more than me but they are only a couple of quid more. Still cant get my head round a £10 front lol

Proof is in the puddin then. If your getting 1 in 5 accept your quote for such silly low prices of ££4-6 a house then id settle for the 1 in 100 that would pay me what im worth.
Your simlpy charging far to low if your getting 1 in 5 new customers!. FAR TO LOW.

[Joey Eastwood]

But what good is 1 in 100? Im not goin work to clean a house a road.... Id rather have 20 £6 houses on a road and earn £120 9 till 2 than treck around an estate doin one here one there

[AuRavelling79]

I have a round of £10 houses and they are all big detatched houses with massive conservatories, they have all got 13plate mercs on the drive... I do about 3 of them an hour. I suppose everything is more expensive in London though.

Joey read what you've just put.

You're trad. You do 3 big detached houses with massive conservatories an hour. And you charge £10 a pop.

Come and work for me and if you can do three of those an hour all day long I'll pay you £12 a pop and charge the custy £20. Everyone's happy.

I agree with mick. But i'm a bit of a mick kent fan anyway! However to be fair to joey he's a glass cleaner! He said he doens include frames right joey? So i doubt very much you include doors either?

I'm not having a dig by the way, each to there own!
I live in lincolnshire by the way joey, which isnt a million miles from Leicester And i do know for a fact you could get more money if you included frames and doors as standard!

I canvassed an estate of big houses before and quoted £12 a house £5er a front, most refused to pay that much and the few i picked up i ended up leaving because they where few and far between. I dont think im too cheap i wouldn't have enough work charging those prices, or id spend most of my day trecking from house to house.

[AuRavelling79]

OK Joey, you're right. We're all wrong ...

[MATT BATEMAN (OWC)]

Where are you working? In town? What town or city? Rural or built up? Council or private?

My £4 front £6 all round quote is for a two up two down standard semi, glass clean and sill wipe. To do frames i charge double that, so £8 and £12 but 90% is just standard glass n sill. And of course i give the door glass a quick scrim as i walk by not being rude but in my opinion £20-£30 an hour which is what i earn is 4 times the minimum wage, earning anything over that seems a little greedy. I understand wfp incurs more running cost, which i dont know alot about. Mayb that's where the price difference comes in?

[Joey Eastwood]

OK Joey, you're right. We're all wrong ...

Bit childish

[Joey Eastwood]

Leicester. And i avoid the council and gyro casher areas.. Lol. I think the difference is you do frames aswel as standard. I offer it as an extra for double the glass clean price, hardly anyone cares about the frames round here aslong as the glass and sills are clean...

Lol you seem to know so little about doing well in this game. I start at 9 and am never home later than 2 with upto an hour driving to and from area and work at my own pace and never clean less than £250 in a day, normally its more.
I do 6-8 fronts an hour as an average and most of my work is compact.
If im not earning £60-80 ph glass time then i canvass and build more work within that area untill i do hence i love my business and love building it to its full potential.
Id have jacked it in a long time ago if i had your prices and way of thinking.

Not trying to blow my own trumpet but just proving a point that under pricing and not putting prices up or believing £6 a house is a good thing is simply madness and your working upto 3 times harder and 3 times longer to reep the same rewards.

[Joey Eastwood]

So you earn £1250 a week? £5000 a month? £60,000 a year? Your either greedy or got alot of expenses lmao
