Half a day at most. £130

[Smurf]

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.

No I don't normally charge that much for that sort of size easy jobs as I'm just messing about.
But I do put in silly high prices from time to time if I don't really want the job and get some of them still.

Just back from the Gym. I see this thread has become very busy with the usual suspects - Dazmond must be playing the bongos tonight.

Anyway the price she paid (which she also thought was expensive) was .............................................................................. £60 

[dazmond]

£90 for full UPVC clean including fascias/soffits/outside gutters/downpipes/garage doors plus the normal regular window cleaning price on top.

time taken-90 mins for the add on work then say 30 mins for the windows(including setting up/packing away).

i dont offer gutter clearing so i wouldnt be doing that.

its an easy job.no access issues.in fact i could end up doing the job in less time(above is MAX time taken to complete the job)

very hot water,virosol and sill brush.

if it was a one off clean and a non window cleaning customer £150 for everything including windows

Did you expect anything else?

[dave f]

£120 up here

[dazmond]

Oh well here goes but don't have a pop peeps as I'm not cheap

gutter clear inc garage 200
fsg inc garage 250 
Oh and a free window clean afterwards
Including all doors & twin garage doors

That would be a proper deep clean not just a quick once over splashing water about.

Happy now   

tongue firmly in cheek........surely!that above is a ridiculous quote.

[Shane sharples]

I'm sure someone was asking on here the other week for ladders or something because he has got a fascia job to do by hand .... 🤔

[deeege]

around £160- £200 for non customers depending on what car is on the drive.

£120 for customers.

[tonycarr]

£225 and i`d do it off of ladders

booked one in today slightly smaller than that £160, she was very happy  it thinking it would cost a lot more

Oh well bungle we can all dream I suppose as it beats work any day 

[Tom-01]

Gutter clear : £110
GFS Clean inc down pipes and garage doors: £140
Windows: £32
Total: £282

£60 I'm not surprised either. I'd rather do one at £282 rather than 4 at £60 each and still be £40 short. Oh and they missed bits, what a surprise.

[Smurf]

Dave if she thought 60 was expensive what the hell do you charge to clean their windows 

No disrespect but I can't be bothered with people like that as they are obviously price conditioned and/or living in the past by people offering to do jobs for next to bugger all.

Made me laugh though the poor bloke must have got hen pecked by his wife in the end to risk his own neck to do them himself just to save 60 squid.  I bet he was bricking it too.

I hear tragic stories from time to time of husbands taking on jobs  like that which  get hurt or worst killed falling off ladders just to try saving a few bob.

The one that sticks in my mind was a teacher that was up a ladder and his wife was supposed to be footing it for him but decided to go and make a cup of tea for them both.  Needless to say the husband never got the chance to drink his tea as he fell and died from head injuries. 

What a tragic waist of a life all because they did not want to pay for a pro to do it safely for them instead 

[Dave Willis]

No, another window cleaner/gutter cleaning chap did the job. She lives on her own. I never gave her a price - she never asked.

[Smurf]

Oh I see sorry I thought when you said "somebody else did (my customer)"  you meant they did it themselves as I thought you had quoted the job,

Anyway if it's any conciliation most of the jobs I do they already have a regular window cleaner...Go figure 

[dazmond]

Dave have you got ur add on services advertised on your van and stationary?

I have and it's amazing how many existing  customers don't know about them unless I bring it to their attention.

[kempy]

Amazing  prices of £200 to £400 .   If you can get that for doing a job like this one then fair play .

It's about a 3 hour job , so be about £90 .

That would work out lower than my normal window rate per hour.its a 2 hour job max including windows (no gutter clearing though).same price but windows on top.say £20 for windows so

£90 for f/s/g. £20 windows :£110 (£55 an hour).more if it was a one off customer.
