how much
« on: April 18, 2009, 08:07:13 pm »
just wondering how much would u charge for doing this house.
that's the front .in the back is nearly the same.,just instead of that big window is a normal one and instead of the door is a patio door. I've changed from trad to wfp reccently and i tend to charge 1 or 2 pounds less.i've estimated that 15 quid .is it too cheap|?thanks

Obviously it depends where you are in the country.... but i'd say £15 is about right

£15? - Good price, but not extortionate.
It's a game of three halves!

i don't think that 2 weekly cleans apply to much this days for residential so i'll stick with 4,6,8 and 12 weeks

Fortnightly is ridiculous. I recommend 6 weekly.

You cant do a very good job then  if you have to keep going back  :P

Windows DO NOT get dirty enough to require a re-clean after 14 days. End off. (Unless of course your from Coronation Street country where they speak with a funny accent, breed whippets/pigeons or both and live down't pit  ;D )

Afraid of work? You dont know me. 

Quite the opposite, which is why I CANT be running around over the same ground twice in 2 weeks, like some who arent busy enough  ;)

i think that's about right ,not even 4 weeks as for some customers seems to be too quick.in some months you even clean them twice for example you do them on 1st of the month and next clean is due on 30th or 31 st.i doesn't feel right
