Maybe a little reality check today: 3 hours only £45.

But still £315 so far can't complain overall

sam
ok it took 3 hr to get the work, but how long will it take to do the work?
then remember it's not just £45 worth of work, it's £45 every time you clean them. even if it's ten times in the year(allowing for hols and the unexpected), that 3 hr today  has really brought £450 worth.


I try to work out what i need for the year then break it down from there, for monthly/ weekly targets. with each new job i tell myself how much the job cuts from that yearly total :D

Zano,

Yeah canvassing going well, pretty much on target also been doing quite a few first cleans this week.

Decided not to wait a month before commencing first cleans good advice folks thanks, seems i am clearly not the only one out there canvassing at mo so not a good idea to lose em before i start.

Well done mate, great start. And I think your pricing is fine, not so low that making a decent living would be hard but set at a level that would make it difficult to undercut.

I'm just glad that you're not working in Plymouth  ;D

Ditto, well said.

Well done sam, you seem a sensible chap, don't let braggarts steer you off your line. some will take any oppertunity on here to "big themselves up" ;)
