Had nothing to do this afternoon so was planning on going out but about midday a letting agent calls that have never used me before and says they've got a tenant with the keys and a van full of furniture just turned up to their new property and it stinks of urine, they think a cat has got in while its empty (catflap) and used it as a litter tray. Could I go down there straight away and clean it for them so I said yes.
Get there and the tenant says I want the carpets replaced as I wouldn't be able to get rid of the urine smell completely, I said I can clean & sanitise it but couldn't gaurantee the smell would be removed especially as I couldn't lift the edges to look under it.
10 minutes later the letting agent turns up and she tells him the same thing, he asks me to price it up anyway and phone it through to him while he had to go to the office and try and get the owner to agree to replace the carpets.
I'm sure there will be differing views but part of me is saying I would have gone out and priced up FOC anyway and the other half is saying I dropped everything to go for a letting agent that will probably never use me again and only did so because their usual one couldn't do it at such short notice
