Would love to come clean some conservatorys, but dont think my lovely wife would be too impressed lol

[chris@c.m.s]

Its exactly the same where I am don't worry about it they just don't realise the work involved, I quote what I think and that's probably about the same as your pricing and I'm quite pleased they don't take it up most of the time

Yeh i charge about that, tell them to have a go themselves without wfp, then stand back and laugh.

Yes, many customers think it is just a 5 minute job. But there are still plenty that will pay the right price, so stick to your price, and don't be tempted to drop your prices any lower.
 Once you have done the roof for them, you should find they are more then willing to agree to have them done every 12 months. Then when the word gets out how well the rooves clean up, you should start to pick up some of their friends.

most conny roofs take me about 2 hours on a conny roof ladder when green algae/black mould- up close and personal with hot pure water - immaculate! include ext gutters too.

from £79.

If they just need a going over to get the dust off, then its about a tenner.

years ago i used to clean a post office, one day the owner said could you do the insides i say yes sure, had to move the usual stuff out the way, take down posters and remove cellotape from glass etc, when i finished the job he held out his hand and said heres something extra for doing the insides, i nearly died it was a 50 pence piece, i never returned after that

I quoted £20 for a house I do that has a big conservatory. Three way roof and quite dirty. The lady nearly fell over. I'm not sorry, if they don't want to pay my price they can do it themselves.

[geefree]

Thanks for the input, looks like i am ok with prices, i do go over £50 if its large, and green !

I had the same drop dead look,... the other day too, only this was a quote for a detached house, white plastic, ish.... cladding, all the way round the top half of the house....... i thought  nice wash and rinse all the way around.... maybe an hour, or a bit more... so i worked out quickly, £10 per side.... £40 .....

you would have thought i had just pulled a gun on him, by the shocked look on his face!....

i though the same as you guys...... Do it yourself mate on a ladder..... then you may just wish you had parted with that £40.....


But, once they knock me back..... i never do it if they change their minds ,and ask me weeks later.

You hear of companies allegedly charging £300+  for conservatories but I don't know where they find the customers from. The planet Zog I would imagine.

I imagine these sort of companies spend the entire day and bring it up to as new...rather than the quick scrub down with a yard brush and hose-off that I do for £20

[[GQC] Tim]

Personally, I do not see the point of having a conservatory. The roof is dirty again the next day with a bit of luck.

Planet zogs right, and the custires are usually mork & mindy
