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
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 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!
