Re: The last window cleaner charged £8
« Reply #20 on: August 18, 2011, 09:57:03 am »
Had my daughter drop some leaflets whilst I cleaned houses .... got a call today from some dropped yesterday.

"I need a window cleaner as sacked my last one ... too unreliable , turned up when he felt etc etc"

so went around tonight to give a quote .. semi detached 3 bed 9 windows largish conservatory .. told him £14 every month

"HOW MUCH !!!!! last one did it for 8 quid"

he then offers to meet me half way at a tenner  :o

tried to explain that last windy was probably prioritising his work and leaving the underpaying jobs to last

" 10 quid is my final offer ... take it or leave it" says he .....

erm thanks but I will leave it  ;D     hasta la vista baby

had the same thing on monday.

windows priced at £12 - last charged £8.50, bloke says £10 for cash - no i say its £12 for cash or cheque.

he then wanted the gutter cleaned on the back of the house only - very green, so i say £35 - last window cleaner said £20 for it.

so anyway i still did the job at my price!

he then gave me an envelope with the full amount in - must have had it ready for the previous chap as it had £28.50 for the window cleaner on it crossed out with £47 put over the top.

he said to the bloke very dirty windows - he snaps why you after a bonus!
