I'm fed up with doing all the add on jobs after a year of advertising on my bills and doing loads.

From now on I'll only quote if asked, remove all mention of gutters/fascias/conservatory roofs and charge loads to do them if they dare to ask.

Its the only way. Something like £75 per hour minimum rate for them, I've grown to hate them. That should scare most people off. If it doesn't, it's worth it!

I mean come on, it always takes longer than you think, always worse than you think, and always hard work. Windows rule. They only ask you to do them because they are being cheapskates. They always think it'll be a tenner. Hate hate hate.

This made me laugh. I've stopped doing these 'cos i've always underpriced the work anyway and when i have charged more with new requests its like i'm asking for the wife to be thrown in as well.
