This can be a tricky task, of course you don't want to undervalue your work and quote the client a nice cheap price they probably want just to gain a new customer. If you do this, yeah sure it's nice to have a regular customer, but you could be cursing yourself every time you go to do that clean. It's therefore essential to have a systematic way of quoting for new jobs and stick to it. Often people will charge a set amount per window, more for double windows, doors and fixed prices for conservatories. You can also add on surcharges, for awkward to reach windows, windows that are extremely dirty, fascia cleans and so on. It also depends on the area that new customer is in, do you have any other customers nearby, bear in mind these customers might know each other so you want to aim for some consistency in your pricing structure.
At the end of the day it's common sense, if you're got a new customer on a council estate that wants a few windows cleaning for £5 then you gotta work out if its gonna be worth your time and money doing it. When you could find a customer in a posh estate that wants all windows and conservatory cleaned for £35. The choice is yours as to which kind of new customers you want to target as well. Hope you've found this useful.
