Estimate and quote a window cleaning price from photos and Street View before you visit
Driving round to give a price for a £15 job can cost you more in time than the clean earns. Asking for a few photos, counting the panes from them and sending a price in minutes means you only visit when it's worth it.
Steps
- Write your pricing rules on one page: price per pane or per house type, extras for conservatories, gutters and hard-to-reach glass, and your minimum charge.
- When an enquiry comes in, reply with a short request for photos of each side of the windows, plus whether there's a conservatory, skylights or anything above the second floor.
- Count the panes and sizes from the photos yourself, or look at the house on street view, then paste your counts into the prompt below.
- Send the price with the line that it's subject to a quick check on the first visit, and offer the first date.
- Don't keep photos longer than you need them. Delete them once the customer is on your round or has declined.
The exact prompt
I'm a UK window cleaner. Write a short quote message to a new customer. Property: [house type]. My count from photos: [number of windows, doors, conservatory, gutters, skylights]. My price rules: [paste rules]. Price: [£]. Say the price per clean, how often I'd come [every x weeks], that the price is subject to checking everything on the first visit, and my first available date [date]. Friendly, under 80 words. Don't promise anything I haven't listed and don't add extras.
✓ Check before you send
- The price comes from your own rules and count, not from the AI.
- The message says the price is subject to a first-visit check.
- You asked for photos of the windows only, with no people or private details in shot.
- For any window above ground floor level, you've decided how it can be reached safely before quoting (the Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply in Great Britain; Northern Ireland has its own).
