The price seems ok but theres know way it would take me that long,are you saying it took you that long because it was the first clean.I`m sure you could half that time on a regular clean.

If it has the same amount on the other side then i would charge £75,after first couple of cleans i would aim to get that done inside and out in 1.5hrs.

I think 65 is a fair price but would aim to do it in around 1.5 hours.

I agree £65 for around 1.5 hours.

The East Devon number on your van - is it an Exmouth/Budleigh number?

Are you lads including the frames as well in that time frame as it looks to be about 20min outside and maybe a 1/2 hr inside for just the glass

No frames for me. 1.5 hours is what i would allow for in my quote, any less then is a bonus for me. :D

I think you've priced well - and spending time on the first clean is a good investment as you've twelve months signed up.

Be careful about not appearing "too quick" on these small trade accounts - if you can start the outside a bit early when people aren't there and time it to finish and start the insides when staff arrive they don't know how long you've been there! Always finish the whole job by walking around (in view of the staff) the outside for two minutes "checking" and wiping the outer cill.

When you get to month ten or eleven invest an extra half hour "doing a good job"  showing how careful and diligent you are so as to show yourself at your best when you approach about renewal.
It's a game of three halves!

That seems good advice from Malc(G)old. 
The earlier post - 20mins (for outside) and 45 mins (for inside) seems much too fast to me!

Seems a fair price to me but I'm sure 1 1/2 hrs is too long, if access on the inside isn't an issue I'd reckon you can get it down to no more than an hour.  20 mins tops for the outs allowing a full 40 mins for he ins and I can't see the ins taking that long.  Even entirely trad I think 1 1/2 is a bit long.
