Never ever quote from Google Earth,never give a  'quote" over the phone without seeing the job…."a guestimate' is fine.

I had a gut felling for you it was going to be a waste of time.
I would have added on 20% arsehole tax myself not reduced the quote just to try and win him over regardles how much the window cleaner so say charged him last time.

 I'm also betting the corner/valley above the conservatory is badly blocked too which may end up being a PITA to clear.

Did you do a guttercam survey in the end to find out how bad it was?

Hey Smurf, Yes I did a survey to check out the guttering and it looked like it was just leaves in the gutters from the Oak tree next door..... The bloke has the coat of arms on his business card with the Masons on it Smurf, I would have thought he needed at least 45% arsehole tax.

Thing is Smurf I'll not fall for it again, life is a learning curve and full of people trying it on. Its my business and know body is going to get a cheap deal as we all have to survive. I'm lucky that I'm on this forum with great members with lots of advice and wisdom.

Thanks all for your advice everyone and motivation, people don't think but its bloody hard running your own business.
