As a one off £220

Too cheap.  I personally won't quote for any property that you can see from the road; the type we go for have long drives lined with beech trees.

The poverty of the owners of that house in the first photo makes me want to vomit.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

Pricing blind, essentially, I'd've quoted similar to you.
If I'd've gone there though, may have been a few quid cheaper...

I use it all the time.  VERY, VERY rare to get caught out.  I reckon that the amount I save in time and diesel is worth the odd time it doesn't work out as well as hoped.

^ Yes, or the simple conservatory ends up being a bespoke build which is 20ft high and slopes back to the house.

Did this job today.

This is the conservatory in question.

How did it go?

Were you able to lean out of those sash windows to reach some of the roof?

I think that's how I'd have done it.

Its probably one of the easiest conservatory cleans we've done. On the end of each side was an 18" wooden section, unglazed, which we could stand on to do each side. The whole job took an hour.

I wonder how long they will stay clean with the building work going on at the side.
I hope you made them aware that this could have an effect on the quality of the clean.
I remember doing one a month back, next minute someone in the house behind started cutting concrete blocks
with an angle grinder.
Was left standing in a cloud of dust.
I'm sure there would have been a few spots left on the glass because of this.
