£100 for a connie, nice money that.

I quote approx 50, tends to take me 2 hours and i thought that was decent, just goes to show the more custies/business you have the more u can charge and not care whethe ru get the wok or not, cant wait to build up the business to the point i can quote 100 for a connie and be blase about it. cool 8)
It's ok but I can make that and more on windows. Why slave on a conny for 2 hours just to make the same money. Personally I have gone off connies, gutters priced properly are great.

I agree, im in my first few months of going full time and £50 in 2 hours is like winning the lottery for me coming from a 15k a year full time job. I have lots to look forward to, i.e being stacked out with work and being able to price high
Minus tax, ni, running costs, holiday, sickness, bad weather. That £50 in two hours don't look so good now does it?

even at two jobs a day 5x a week it still looks a lot better than 15 k a year

Personally I wouldn't bother quoting for a one off conservatory clean. They are hard work and by the time you add the time to go out and quote they aren't worth it. I have a roof to do today and I am not looking forward to it.

+1

If you haven't enough work, do you sit at home and say 'i aint going out for £25 an hour'? No, because £50 in two hours is better than nothing

Also, most on here claim to be on £30 an hour (ok, alot charge more per hour on extras) so for a new guy to be on £25 an hour while he builds...i'd say that wasn't to be sniffed at...or have you been on £70 an hour from day one Trippy? ::)roll ::)roll ;D
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

True. But that's true for all the "shoud I?" threads. The one thing that always stuck to, even when I was short of work was that one offs paid through the nose. I felt it was incumbent upon me to educate those with minging windows that dirty windows take longer and that their job is less desirable. That said, I enjoy one offs. I get job satisfaction and I get well paid.  :)

When I first started out and didn't have a full round I would do a conny roof and all the FSG on a 3 bed detached for £120 took me a day as was a beginner and only had a trolley from pure freedom .... no chemicals as well ... oh and clean all the windows from a ladder ..................... too cheap I know but by doing 4 a month on top of window cleaning it covered my bills ............ when 1st starting out I think you need to do anything you can to get the money in.  :)

Exactly. I'll do them but I expect it to be worth it for all the reasons I've mentioned before.
