I hope a lot more guys go VAT registered. Then sole traders like me will definatley be at least 10% cheaper :-)

What you and all the negative thinkers on here never grasp is that you don't get business by being cheap. Very rarely on domestic work do people get comparative quotes. So you and others can carry on being as cheap as you like, but don't think that by being cheap that you will be taking work from me.

Spot on.

Customers that buy based on price as their major factor in making the decision are the worst customers to have.

It's about "value for money". If customers didn't buy on price we would all be charging double what we do now. This doesn't necessarily mean cheap either. Whatever car you drive, or wherever you shop, ask yourself why you didn't buy the next model up or go shopping at a more expensive supermarket.

Totally agree, when a customer begs me to clean their windows I look to see if they are wearing a Rolex if not I tell
then to get lost.
I next tell them its £50 a window and if they twitch its good bye.
I'm too good and too successful to waste time on people who know the value of money.

What do you charge for a 3 bed modern semi?

Mate do you actually believe that wealthy people don't care about price ? I was cleaning the inside of a multi millionaires
property a few weeks back and guess what they where talking about ?
The price of a full Sky package and was it worth cancelling the sports package when the football season was over.
I guarantee the Merc on the drive was knocked down on the asking price.

How many quotes did your "multi millionaire" get for window cleaning?

Seems to me £20 every two months for a 4 bed semi with conservatory isn't going to break the bank. Most think it's reasonable and don't bother toilet other quotes. I know at least three window cleaners around here that would do the same house for half the price but the customer didn't phone them for a price.

Jeez, what does it take to get some on here to wake up?

Would you have got it if your quote had if been £100, that's the point everybody is trying to make.
Doesn't matter how rich you are you still expect to be treated fairly and not taken for a mug.
Nobody is saying your going to lose a good customer for the sake of a few quid.

£20 is reasonable, I've got a some four bed semis at £45, however, I know I'm not going to get row upon row all next to each other at that price. I get the impression that you think you know something that the rest of us don't? I don't recondition poles either If what you say you are earning is true then it would cost you more in time to recondition a pole than just to replace it with new. I think it might be you who needs to wake up a little!!

It was a mistype. It should have been a modern 3 bed semi. The kind you get on a modern housing development.

As for the recondition thing and time, that is why I asked if anyone offered the service - because it would cost me more in time to do it.
