How refreshing to see someone quoting sensible and fair prices. Some on here would be charging £200 plus for that, a job that really can be finished including the vac cleanup in around an hr and a half. Im certain that your customers appreciate you and your service, and regular work is what we want.

Nice to see someone who quotes similar to me. Some people would charge hundreds of pounds for that. I see it as you earn more money through being fair and getting recommendations and then them deciding to have you clean their windows regularly etc than you ever would just charging extortionate prices for a job. Especially if you're using hand tools to clean it out. A bit of diesel and an hour's work. It's all profit pretty much

Hi I don't mean to criticise but when I quote just for gutters, if not there already doing windows I have to take in consideration of time going there checking with camera, then having a chat and showing pictures or video, then booking in a time that works for all and then actually doing the job , this all takes up my time which we all know that means money. Just think that's a bit cheap. But it does depend on what part of the country you work in. All the best and have good Christmas 🎄

rizla 0 I live in a cheap area of the country and these gutters were not bad at all. Usually if I go to quote I will try to meet the customer at the job, and if they are happy I will aim to do the job there and then to save making two trips. I work very locally most of the time. I think it’s important to establish a good relationship with the customer and they will use you for other jobs in the future. Thanks for your comment. 😃👍🏼

@@fingersmcgee2762 while I agree to an extent, this guy is using very a expensive gutter vac which does a good job quickly and neatly. That’s worth a premium. I live in Sydney so may be very different but if I had the same gear I would be be implementing an absolute minimum charge of $180 (£96). With price of the gear plus vehicle costs and fuel for vehicle and generator plus time spent and insurance it’s just not worth it for any less than that. If you’re already there for something else (which it looks like he is) then his pricing seems fair and reasonable.

Greetings Each. Nice video and fair consideration . We are all individuals and will charge what we think is fair. I took up High Level cleaning internal and external via SGI as an added service to my existing customers and any new ones I might pick up. I generally quote on Difficulty and access . I generally quote £50-£100 for a domestic property depending on size. However if it turns out to be very easy. I offer a discount. I will remove debris FOC (Ihave people I know that have allotments ). Commercial property is different some can take two days and are charged accordingly.

@swirljet4245 3 жыл бұрын

This is the method i adopted about 9 years ago. As you highlighted in the clip it is best to have a minimum charge which i tell customers before i start the survey. In a few instances i have completed the survey and discovered that there was no detritus in the customers gutters and have sent them photographs to highlight this. Not even a thank-you. The cameras are okay but useless if the sun is shining too brightly. Allocating time to do the survey and say a couple of hours to clean the gutters for £60 seems okay and it's the avenue i go down as a rule. Then you realise you have to deduct 20% tax and £60 becomes £48 then petrol and other business running costs. These comments are not aimed at the very excellent instructional videos of the maker which i enjoy very much - it's just the musings of a professional cleaner trying to survive in an overcrowded marketplace.

Jayden Ribchester My aim is to build a good relationship with the customer so that they will use a range of my services for years to come. If I was only doing gutter cleaning, I probably wouldn’t be quite so generous.😃👍🏼

A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services ok fair enough, I’m looking at getting into gutter cleaning as I’m fed up with job I’m in, just don’t know how to get started and what to charge do looking at various information

@aemackintosh 4 жыл бұрын

If you are doing gutter cleaning only, you probably won’t want to be as generous with your pricing as this. I hope your plans go well.😃👍🏼

A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services thanks mate, I’ll let you know how I get on..... I’m thinking building up a business to average 2 to 3 clients per day, at an average price of £100 per house. I would love £1,000 per week, I know window cleaners / gutter cleaners who take double this, but I want weekends off, I’ve practically worked 7 day weeks for 12 years and just want to relax a little for a while

@@ianmitchell9102 You will be pushed to do 3 £100 houses in a day. It certainly won't be relaxing

Competition is good, it makes us all lift our game. The customer gets a better service and the business owners ultimately charge more for a higher quality service. The result is that the whole industry has a better reputation.👍🏼
