hiya, I advertise quite a lot and have been getting really bogged down with first cleans recently, so i've just upped my minimum charge from £10 to £20 for new work.

i've done this because my average  house value is now £23.64 and i'd guess only 15%  or so of my work is under £20, so taking on a £15 house is not moving my round forward.

i've got loads of work and don't want to expand any time soon so i'm concentrating on quality not quantity.

i'm not trying to brag or anything so I hope this doesn't come across that way.

I was just wondering I anyone else has a high minimum charge or has found themselves in a similar situation?

many thanks

sorry, I don't think it would be appropriate to answer that question on here.

hi, I do cover penn and tettenhall and most of the outlying  towns and villages. i've passed on most of my inner town work.

i've just been advertising a lot (£130 a month, going up to £153 a month soon), quoting expensive and ditching the rubbish.

[andyatkinson]

now that makes a lot more sense! are you mostly every 4 weeks or longer frequency if more expensive?

[Dave Turley]

I offer both, i'd say people are going 50/50, more 8 weekly for the largest houses.

if they're thinking of 4 weekly but think my price seems expensive, I push them towards 8 weekly and tell them roughly how much a week it works out to.

the usual response is..... oh that's not too bad, go on then!

[supernova77]

An average price of £23.64 is very good.

My average price is £29.37 - But all of my customers are at least 8 weekly cleans.

we are to cheap :

we are to cheap

It doesn't mean my earnings are more... I obviously clean less houses in a day than I would if my average price was £10.

[Chris Cottrell]

When Dave says his avg price is £23.64 you have to remember that many houses will be less than this and some ll be over this price this is the meaning of average

[pingu]

I am in the same ballpark as Andy/SCS but in euro's..8 weekly too.

Dave.

[supernova77]

Hey Dave,

I remember you starting up around the same time as me to. Are you still enjoying it?

Andy

[pingu]

It gets a tad boring..but the time off and money make it all worthwhile...and you?

Dave.

Don't have a minimum price, I will do any job even for a couple of quid,if it's on the way to another job. Example would be, petrol stn on the way to 1 of my areas, about 4 quid, takes 5 mins, outside only, every 2 weeks. No probs.

[Ian Rochester]

Same, we don't have a minimum, but I never go less than £5 and we do a few small shop fronts for that price mostly they are a single pane of glass 6' x 6', can have it done in under 2 minutes then on to the next one..

Just done my average price on George £14.32

[andyatkinson]

sounds like £5 is your minimum then!
