How much would you price for this.... 3/4 bedroom house with 22 windows in all some small but most average size, and conny....?
I said £35 and the convo went from "we're desperate for a wc" to "ok il let you know"

£20-£25 depending if its right near other work.30 mins to clean or less(maintenance cleans).

£35 seems a bit expensive if your outside of london and the south.
price higher/work harder!

Depends - one off? On the spot or come back? Or with a view to clean monthly? Two monthly? Near others or on it's own. How dirty, how desperate?

22 windows plus conny ... upvc ... within 200 yards of another custy.

One off on the spot - dirty? £40 Call back later £50
Not too dirty £35 - £40

1st clean and then monthly   £35 followed by £25
1st clean and Two monthly    £35 followed by £30

Access/parking issues may increase/decrease above prices.

They're possibly "desperate" because their old cleaner got fed up of doing them at a tenner or fifteen quid and dumped them!

Oh! And if they are in Lancashire cut those prices in half ...  ;D
It's a game of three halves!

£35 seems a bit steep to me but I suppose it depends on location. I am in north east Scotland and have recently taken on a similar house for which I am charging £25.

Must all be millionaires on here charging them prices
£35 for a house that takes 20/30 mins
2x in a hour

£70 per hour

I'm surprises that your not all driving around in brand new vans etc.

Amazing

But well done for getting them prices/customers

I'd quote 22 windows at say £1 a window so that's £22
And if it takes 30 mins and you AIM for £30 per hour that's £15

Therefore I between at say £18 and it would be a good job

....??

That's how I price £1 a window is well plenty , and then on time .
Therefore I'd tell them it would be £22 max , say you will clean it and then adjust price if required , I've done this loads of times .

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.
