a long standing customer of mine has moved into a stand alone 4 bed detached property a mile away from his old house.....he paid £700,000 for it.....it has a few ground floor large bay windows at the front(all UPVC leaded windows) and 3 upper windows,a couple of little windows either side of the house and a fairly large conservatory and 3 awkward windows over it and a large 3 storey window above that(i think ill need to get my 47 footer out for that one)......
he wants them cleaned every 12 weeks which is fine by me so i went in with a price of £40 which i think is fair for the property,i have a few similar houses along this road in the £40-£65 bracket(and they are 8 weekly!)...no first clean price either!
he nearly keeled over!he was paying £10 in the old house(3 bed semi)4 weekly which i was going to put up to £12 in april before he moved(if i get the new owners thats the price it will be).....
i tried to explain his new house is much larger and its a stand alone property on a much longer frequency and requiring my high level pole for the high window at the back......he reluctantly agreed and ill fit him in tomorrow.....
on maintenance cleans its a 30 min job plus 5 mins driving there and 5 mins driving to my next job so 40 mins altogether........
i think ive just about won him round!
