Would really appreciate advice on how you price flats .   Have had a few oap,s asking for price , they only have 5 small windows only have to ladder up twice .

Some have minimum charge £10. others £1 per hole in wall, still others 40 -50p per pane - your choice Jonah, get a pricing strategy and stick to it! That's my advice.

Or you could work out how long you think it will take you and price accordingly.

sometimes these can be a pain because you have to drive here and there for a small flat worth maybe only 5.00 so make sure its worth it.

but on the other hand you could end up getting most of the flats in the block.

I like cleaning flats, even more so since converting to WFP a couple of years ago. Though they're only £6 per clean all the blocks I do have at least ten in them, and with them all together like that you can knock out ten in an hour easily enough, giving you a healthy hourly rate.

I know of a few window cleaners who don't like them, prefering instead to concentrate on bigger, higher paying customers. I do them too, along with a lot of contract work and carpet cleaning too, but for earning money quickly I don't think you can beat blocks of flats.

Out of interest most of these flats have two front windows and three back windows, and last year they were £5 each. I lost no customers raising the price by a pound so I guess they must be happy with my work.

Mind you though, if I can't clean a window properly after 17 years of trying I guess I'm in the wrong job 

Good luck with your flats!
