How to set your prices

The two ways to price

Per window — The AI counts the windows at the address and multiplies by your rate. You set a price per window (e.g. £2.00), a minimum job price (e.g. £18), and any call-out fee. This suits most traditional window cleaners who already think in 'pence per pane' or 'pounds per window'.

Set price per house — The customer picks a property type and size (usually bedrooms) and Squeegify looks up the fixed price you entered. You never ask how many windows there are. This suits cleaners who quote by house type: '3-bed semi £20, 4-bed detached £28'.

Per-window pricing in detail

Rate per window — This is the core number. If you charge £2 per window, type 2.00. Squeegify will add a small amount for each additional window the AI counts.

Minimum job price — Set this to your smallest visit fee. If a house has only 4 windows at £2 each, the quote would be £8 — but if your minimum is £18, the customer sees £18. This protects you on tiny jobs.

Call-out / base fee — A flat amount added to every exterior job before the window count. Use it for travel, set-up, or the first pair of ladders. Leave it at £0 if you only want per-window pricing.

Access and condition multipliers — Optional. If difficult access or neglected glass takes longer, you can charge more. Leave them all at 1.0 and every quote is exactly your rate × windows + minimum.

What counts as a window — In Pricing → Window definition you choose what the AI counts: pane, frame, opening, or sash. Make sure it matches how you price. A 'per pane' count will be higher than a 'per opening' count for the same house.

Per-house pricing in detail

Bedroom bands — Most cleaners use 1 bed, 2 bed, 3 bed, 4 bed, 5+ bed. Enter the price you would actually charge for a standard exterior clean of that size. You do not need to fill every band — leave one empty and Squeegify will quote it by hand instead of guessing.

Property type matters — A 3-bed semi and a 3-bed detached can have very different window counts. Add property types (terraced, semi, detached, bungalow, commercial) and set a price for each size. The more specific you are, the more accurate the quote.

Size bands — If 'small / medium / large' fits your area better than bedrooms, use size bands. Squeegify comes with common defaults, but you can rename them to whatever your customers understand.

What happens when something is missing — If a house type or size has no price, Squeegify tells the customer the price needs confirming and sends you a manual lead. That's better than showing £0 or a made-up number.

Extras and add-ons

Gutter clearing, conservatory, solar panels — Each extra can be a fixed price (e.g. gutter clear £25), per item (e.g. solar panel £4 each), or left for manual quote. Leave the price at £0 and Squeegify marks it 'price on application'.

Interior cleaning — You can price interior as a percentage of the exterior job, a fixed add-on, or a separate per-window rate. Choose the one that matches how you already quote.

Countable extras — For things like patio doors or bi-folds, turn on 'Countable' so the customer can enter a quantity. Squeegify multiplies your price by the count they give.

Recurring rounds and frequency discounts

4-weekly, 8-weekly, 12-weekly — You can set a discount for regular customers or charge more for longer gaps. For example, a 10% discount for 4-weekly makes the recurring price cheaper than the one-off price. A 12-weekly surcharge can reflect the extra dirt.

One-off pricing — This is your base price. All frequency adjustments are calculated from the one-off figure, so get this right first.

Common mistakes to avoid

Forgetting the minimum — Without a minimum, a 4-window flat could quote £6. Set a realistic minimum job price.

Mixing methods in the same price list — Pick one main method: per-window or per-house. You can still add property multipliers to per-window, but don't try to maintain two separate price lists at once.

Leaving extras at £0 — An unpriced extra shows 'We'll confirm' in the widget. That's fine, but if you meant to charge £20, type £20.

Counting panes when you price frames — Match your window definition to your rate. If you charge £2 per 'frame', make sure the AI counts frames, not panes.

Over-discounting recurring work — A 20% or 30% discount on every visit adds up fast. Start small — you can always increase it later.
