If they pay you 450 for houses like that for a wash down I would say they have had very little experience in having such jobs done m8,it would be a case of its a matter of time on an estate like that normally jobs like that are purely a price making decision if they get another price look out you'll be down the road pal,just my opinion.

It even suprises me somtimes when you put in a sill high price because you don't really want the job and they still say YES  ;D
I'm not taking about regulars but one-off cleans.

One job that sticks in my mind was a chap I charged quite a lot for and he ended up having his gutters check & cleared every 6 months so regular work still comes in charging top dollar to start with.

So if you have a bit of traveller in you when you clean jobs like that does the dirt appear straight away like the concrete does underneath the Tarmac when you've finished.

Smurf can I ask have you always charged these prices?
Or does the fact that your semi retired and now only working for a bit of extra cash mean you quote as high as possible and not care if you get the work?
Surely in your 'peak' years you wouldn't be risking going in so high and getting turned away alot.
