[Dean champion]

My quote would be sent via text like this-:

Good evening,
Your quote for regular window cleaning to your property is as follows.On your first visit your windows will be cleaned twice first a hot water deep soap clean.
Secondly the glass is cleaned again using purified polished water, therefore your first clean will have a one-off additional charge added on top of your regular clean. Your 1st clean will be £58 then £45 once every 2 months or £30 once a month thereafter for all glass,frames,sills + door panels including conservatory.
If your happy with your quote and would like to go ahead please text us back the frequency you would like so we can book you into our round for your first clean.
Many thanks Dean.

1st clean would take approx an hour then regular clean approx 30 mins after.

Donny
House would be £30 4 wkly or 40 8 weekly and then £20 for the conservatory.   I price these jobs that way as some have the house cleaned every 4 weeks and the conny every 8 weeks.
(So £30 clean 1 and £50 every 2nd clean)

Can always rely on Nathan to massively over complicate an otherwise very straightforward job.

Nathan could knock out 35 of them with conservatory in a day so at  £50 to £60 a pop  we have a new CIU daily earnings record, I knew it was only a matter of time before Nathan took this record. Lol.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️  😴😴😴😴

The difference between your cleans dirt wise is negligible realistically Nathan,what I’m saying if you offered longer period between cleans you could charge more and therefore earn more.
The jobs wouldn’t take you any longer to clean you’d get more per job so you’d be doing the same work for way more money,you wouldn’t need to rush round to do them every 4 weeks either tbh people in the main don’t care if you are a little late turning up.

[NWH]

As an example say you did charge 30 quid for that job and I charged 50 imagine if our prices where that different but over the course of the week we clean the same amount of jobs number wise,that’s a huge difference more than enough to pay an employee and you’d still have more in your pocket.
I think we take pricing for granted when taking on a job with how important it is from the start,you’ve only got to getting a fraction under what you could be getting and over the course of the year it’s massive.

This is like beating a dead horse.
I clean 4 and 8 wkly work and so i know i charge more for 8 wkly and how it works.

Your price of 50 includes the conservatory windows does it not?  Exactly the same as what i said, 30 for the house n 20 for the conservatory equals £50 per clean. However i said if it was 8 wkly it would be £40 for the house, plus £20 for conservatory so it would be £60 every 8 wks.

Yet I appreciate where your coming from with your explanations, but please understand mine as our prices were somewhat the same

[NWH]

No Nathan I don’t think your prices are the same as mine going by what you’ve said about prices in the past,I appreciate you work in different part of the country I wouldn’t get my prices in your area but you’d be rushed off your feet in mine with yours.

[robbo333]

Lovely straightforward job, I'd do it for £40.
But I would be up-selling big time.
The walls need cleaning, patio, driveway, conny roof etc etc
That could be a nice little earner.
I'd get that whole place looking mint!

Again mate, you are not reading this in the context of this thread or post.
You priced this job at 50 you said and kept on harping on about me quoting 30 when the actual price combined is either 50 or 60 and not the 30 you keep harping on about.
So on this job, you priced at 50 8 wkly and mine was 40 for house plus 20 for conservatory windows making mine £60 8 wkly.   Hence a similar price.
I cant explain it any easier.

Get a grip Nathan, we have all seen your prices in the past and know you get nowhere near what you claim to be getting now, like I said if you did get what you now claim going my the amount of properties you claim to get through in a day you would be the richest shiner on here by a long shot, that said I suspect like most of us you get more than enough to keep you in the game, why you now feel the need to compete with the other BS'ers on here is beyond me.

I dont live in the past mate,  ive always said my prices before coming on here were not the best and i even posted how ive not put some prices up for a number of years.  In addition to this, ive posted how ive sold some rounds off as I have rapidly grown in additional villages with some very good prices, one of which is where i charge 30 for the house and the 2nd clean includes a conny for £20.   This isnt to be boastful as put these prices into london for instance and they will have to be drastically changed.  If you use some of the facebook groups you will have seen my posts on pricing etc many a times. You know its me as i dont hide, i use my name for all to see and check out. So what do i have to gain by fabricating the truth as ones who know me in the areas could call me out if I was!

Ive also posted recently how i tire of these comments regarding how many one can clean in a day, because quite frankly I dont care if you believe me or not. However i will defend myself.  I also showed one estate, showing the size of the houses where i made my claims etc and my apologies if you cant after years of knowing your rounds, that you can not work faster or smarter than you are, if you so desired.  However today, i dont count how many houses i clean in a day, i have other more pressing things to worry about.
Yet, this forum gives a slight escape and im happy to bite, happy to help and happy to continue to post.

id charge £50 (8 or 12 weekly)including conny...£60 first clean....that job will take around an hour on maintenance cleans,maybe a bit less.....

[NWH]

Once cleaned an easy job half an hour at most the price still wouldn’t come into though,there’s a fair bit of glass with the conny bottoms easy access some huge window cleaning
Companies would clean that for 10 quid though just to steal it from a hard working shiner.

[Shrek]

Don’t forget Ed is in the Kent area where the average house price is over £300k

your right nigel...that job would take around 30 mins on maintenance cleans but if it was a stand alone job (a bit out of the way)
 then id have to factor in driving time...thats why id charge £50

if it was right near other work then id clean that property for £40 no problem...ive actually been undercut on work like this before though.....i lost a similar job last year to a windy who charges £25.....

the more interesting conclusion from this thread is that its more lucrative for us to build a round of less frequent work priced higher than more frequent work for a cheaper price

Yeah as you know you can clean 1 for 50 or 2 for 40 what would you choose to do it’s a no brainier,the most important thing in this job and although it seems obvious many don’t put enough thought into it when first pricing you must factor everything into your quote.
It wouldn’t take me long to get peed off cleaning jobs like that for 25-30 quid a pop,some people have said they’ve been undercut on jobs like this and have got the job for the above price i would just jog on and forget it.
Once you name your price and start cleaning it you can’t go back on it really how many times have you looked at a new job and they’ve said he just didn’t bother coming back and he only charged X,these people ruin it for us all and is why for years this job has been looked down on.

depends.....if you have lots of cheaper work thats very compact (4 weekly) you can bang them out and still hit a great hourly rate...the longer frequency jobs are usually larger with a bit of driving between jobs.....i have a mixture of both but prefer longer frequency jobs these days.....

[NWH]

That’s when you come unstuck I’ve got 3 next to each other I can do them cheaper,I never do that that’s when they can become not worth doing.
It starts off well then 2 move and then you are going to there to clean 1 instead of 3 at a discounted price,if it’s a 50 quid job that’s what it is and it would be the same for next door I want to earn a living I’m not going out in the cold to do favours or to get 3 in a row because I can then discount them that’s a pointless exercise.

True, i personally dont understand that line of thinking. Ie, its on the same street, its the neighbour or if i have a run of houses etc etc.  For me its individual pricing and each job is priced according to that house, irrelevant if its in the same area. The only thing I consider is that it would be an even higher charge if im going out my way to clean said house, but i would sooner have a run of say £30 houses rather than discounting them three to say £25 just because they are next to each other and loose out on £15 for insyance.
(For argument sake, these prices have just been plucked from the air lol)

i disagree.....if you have the monopoly in an area then its common sense...i have over 300 jobs in a 2 mile area built up over many years......i still get undercut from time to time...theres lots of competition.....if i have to go out of my way then the price goes up to factor in travel time....no need if im banging them out and their all close

remember i only do 3000 miles a year in my van every year!
