  I wouldn't even do them for double the money as I can earn double the money doing outsides so why bother

Someone acquired one of my jobs because they will do the insides. I'm not worried as I can't stand doing insides apart from a factory I clean regularly. Slows my routine down too much,  I wouldn't even do them for double the money as I can earn double the money doing outsides so why bother with the inconvenience of breaking a routine run of work just to try and catch somebody in to clean the insides.  Don't even do guttering, but love doing solar panels, get plenty of them

Talk us through this mate as its doing my head in... its probably just me being a bit thick. Lets say a house is a tenner, or twenty quid...makes no odds... lets just use 1.0 as the formula.. a house = 1. If you wouldn't do it(insides) for double, which would be  1x2= 2 , thats fine. But if you earn double anyway doing outsides then that means you're earning "2" ? So the initial double  can't be right can it ? Somethings wrong with your equasion................

Some guys would clean internal windows for one and a half times the value of cleaning the outsides. Personally I wouldn't clean the insides for twice the price of cleaning the outsides. In the time you've cleaned the insides on most jobs, (even when asked to clear the sills prior to internal clean), with all the faffing around, you could have easily cleaned twice as many external windows. Internal jobs aren't regular with most customers and you have to arrange a day and convenient time to be there for access. If anything goes missing or is misplaced who gets the blame, not worth it for the inconvenience or financial side of things

I price a large four bedroom house today, I kept it low as I new they were getting several quotes. I priced it at £30 outside only every other month, I got a text earlier to say another cleaner is doing inside and out for £25!!!! Why do they price so low? It's crazy, he would have still got the job at double his quote!!!
