ditch it and get some nice easy access new upvc jobs all in a line - why struggle on an under priced, ball ache of an irregular job....

No, I would have a go, but I would manage the customers expectations.  I would explain about the frames causing problems; that there will be spots and runs.  I would even offer to touch up the ground floor windows by hand - even if this meant using an A-Frame.

But I still would put in a good price for the job, and if it was refused; hey ho!

It sounds as though thats the price for the job and they ring when they want it doing. 2 men @ £180 for 8 hours is hard going, if they'll accept that it's going to cost more then fair enough if not then I'd have to leave it, surely the time could be better spent?

Ive got this to do on Friday, will see what happens. On the plus side, looking back through my diarys, I charged £250.00, not £180.00, so thats made it a little better

on a job of that size it is CRAZY to ignore it and turn your back on it. Do what we do , if there is a chance that the job wont dry correctly then do the job taking extra time and water to rinse then go back after it has dried and get your ladder out and a wet scrim and wipe off any runs , this is quicker than doing it twice on the first clean and makes you look like a contiencious tradesman to the custy
