I would charge double for insides but will do them for the same price as out if they have them done on a wet day.

Double also.

After going through the school of hard knocks, we now insist that all junk be removed first otherwise it's 3 times.

Some don't like paying too much for the insides.

We don't do many internals which I'm happy about. They can be a real pain. Especially if it's a tight woman.  ;D

Cheers

ps  Dave in Worthing  - please could you e mail me again as the address I replied to came back undelievered for some reason. Meeting up again is a good idea.

 I charge the same price as outside but now changing my veiw, if they are smokers charge double as it takes longer. Once you have cleaned a smokers window will make you want to give up!

Only joking.

I usually charge the same as the outside plus 20%, but if they are georgian windows that will go way up.
And like Ross, always insist they clear all the window sills of obstacles.

Sometimes doing the insides can be a doddle, easier than the outside, other times it can be a real pain.
If the house is a smokers house then the price for the inside can be double what I would charge for the outside.
There are many variables that affect how much you charge, but you should always charge more than you do for the outside.

I charge one & half times outside price ie £10 outside then £15 for inside if customers ask why is it more for inside I reel off that it takes longer, and it does ie sitting on kitchen sink to get at window or even using small steps from van putting on shoe covers, obstructions such as curtains , nets , blinds, ornaments on shelves, generally treading more carefully around their house, use to double price but always got stung 1.5 for inside a good safety net.  lee

I CHARGE SAME FOR INSIDE AS I DO FOR OUT AS THERE IS NO LADDER WORK INVOLVED. JUST CHARGE EXTRA FOR ANY INTERIOR DOORS OR MIRRORS THAT NEED CLEANING.  PLUS YOURE MORE LIKELY TO GET A CUP OF TEA

I charge 50% ontop but I always tell them that I will come back when it rains. That is the customers who dont have it done regular.
I always tend to move items but you have to be careful. I moved an antique once from a slate window sill, when Iwent to put it back I put it down to hard and it broke. Tcustomer was ok after the shock but what was interesting was the insurance company. The customer didnt claim against me but I rang the i/company to see where I stood. They said that although they would probably let it pass as it would be a 1st claim, the fact is I shouldnt be moving expensive items. If anything came up in the future then I might not be able to claim because it is really down to the customer to move such items.
So be warned.
Now I tell them to move any items that are expensive or that mean a lot to them, then it is down to them.
