Putting up a job yearly by £3 each time is taking the pee IMO...its far too much and too often..

I wouldn't do it....

Not if the job is £60 it isn't.

I put £60 jobs up a fiver but once in 3 years not yearly....

I've got a block we do twice a year I priced it for two days for two of us at £825.00 per clean, it never took two days only ever one day and now we get it done by 3pm and do two other smaller blocks on the way home. We've been doing this since 2016 and I've never put the price up on this one until end of last year when the property management company emailed me to ask if there was going to be a price increase for 2023 so I put the price up by 5% getting an email two days later saying the resident committee have accepted the increase and feel it was very reasonable along with the new works order for this year.  I feel like Dick Turpin each time I email the invoice over

I agree with jobs like this a price rise  isn’t needed , we do some blocks of flats for a well known national firm if we don’t increase price each year they question it saying they expect it to go up , I didn’t want to kill the goose that lays  the golden egg  and risk  loosing the jobs as they are really well paid so I put them up each year by less than inflation , the extra we get is nice but I was happy and still would be with the price from 15 years ago 😂😂😂

If I put up my £15 jobs I got fifteen years ago by £3 every year they would all be £60 now.
Somehow I don’t think I’d have many left.

I’d be earning about £180 an hour.

Ime not saying put up prices like this all the time but with the way everything is going at the moment customers are expecting another rise , several have already increased there own prices without us Evan asking , I will be bringing it in from march and confident we will loose minimal jobs , and there’s nothing wrong with earning £180 per hour 😂😂

Exactly there is some BS and exaggeration in regards to price rises on here..there is no way most customers would except a price rise year on year.a year goes by so fast....same with the BS saying "well you must be taking a pay cut year after year if you don't put them up every year!"

Read the posts again and correctly, I said due to the current financial situation it will be necessary to increase prices again this year after having  increased them last year , normally we have a price rise every other year or so , but inflation has risen that much over the  year and in most areas continues to rise so a further price rise is needed you are paying more for  most things now than last year month on month so we need to keep pace with inflation with our price rises  or we are in effect taking a pay cut , this is Evan more important when employing , it’s not rocket science , if you don’t increase your prices  for two years at the current rate of inflation you will need to do a much higher rise when you do .

You say  that your employees can clean 6 -8 properties an hour blah blah blah....if you put the customers prices up even £2 each would mean that you d be earning an extra £12-£16 an hour on that work which is far higher than the rate of inflation and then you say your gonna put them up again this year?which would mean that in 2 years you d be earning £24-£32 an hour EXTRA on that work....

I'm not sure on percentages but it's obviously way higher than inflation....

Depending when they start that’s probably £60-£80 per man per hour. Isn’t that what you look to achieve per hour?

Going by one of your earlier posts are you really raising prices by an average of around 25% two years in a row and using inflation which is just north of 10%  as an excuse? I take it none of your customers are any good at maths?

Its madness, you only have to switch on the tv and we're bombarded with news about the NHS. That's the NHS , probably the most highly respected workforce in this country who were hailed as hero's over the pandemic, who had people out on the streets clapping them, who quite literally save lives, and who have just been offered a  2.1% payrise for 2023 whilst inflation is north of 10%, yet a low skilled window cleaner thinks he can justify hitting his customers with two £3 rises on a £15 property two years running! If you put those prices up at the same time of year ie say the start of the tax year 5th of April then the reality is, that customers price has gone up from £15 to £21 in the space of 1 year and 1 day! The vast majority of wages in this country wont be going up 10%, yet they'll be expected to swallow a 40% jump in price on their window cleaning bill in just over a year! Good luck with that, any workman who upped his prices like that for a "service" for me  without actually supplying a product would get told to sling his hook.

Again read the posts correctly I said 4-6  per hour  not 6-8   Good buissiness sense means you increase prices regularly to keep increasing profits , but as a one man band you don’t have to pay the same costs as an employer

Your only a part timer in a little van daz, you couldn't hold the kind of accounts I do , every time you boast about record days I'm just left wondering what all the fuss is about. If you think 1k in a day isn't achievable  in window cleaning then all I can say is you know less about the industry than you think you do.

The Dick Turpin part was tongue in cheek, I believe I deserve every single penny of it,  it takes hard work, networking and good business skills to get accounts like these and to hold them for years on end.  You'll never have accounts like these daz even if you do carry on working/live until your 70

You are funny Daz - you brag constantly about your hourly rate - part two me hours etc - but as soon as someone does something better they are rip off merchants 😵‍💫

How about saying - wow great result - that’s a good rate you’ve achieved for that job…

2 men x 7 hours = 14 hours.

£825 / 14 hours = £58 per man hour.

TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!
