Yep, all part of the service.

There are rules though. They have to be good people that I like. Also, they need to be prepered for me to land on them once in a blue moon.

I find it usefull for days when I get a kickback from messers, I can call in and do the job and rely on it in an emergency.

It is only something that can be done as an addition to an established round.

Most of the "as and when" jobs that I have are favourites that I have hit it off with. Sometimes you click with people on a personal level and they are more like friends than customers.

They are a useful addition to my round.
if it is dirty it is fair game

No .... However, if any of my customers ever decided for a genuine reason to change to an 'ad-hoc' basis, I'd still accommodate if they had a good history with me but would negotiate an increased price to suit  :)

prob same here, if we get on with them and they asked. or if someone rang for quote for one off. but we don't actually have any customers that are as and when, prefer it this way.

no i dont.i had a woman who asked me to clean hers right next to a 8 weekly customer of mine.i cleaned it and she agreed 8 weekly(£20).after the clean she said "can i just phone you when they need cleaning again?"in a word NO!!its either 8 weekly when i clean next door or not at all!!

i really cant be bothered with them.i have plenty of maintenance cleans and like it that way.

regular scheduled work is just how i work.
price higher/work harder!
